Fran i have not been on the forum as long as some but long enough to see that there has been a long standing problem between certain members. When people post their music on a site like this they are seeking appreciation 1st and honest helpful critiqueing 2nd . Members would do well to understand and respond to posts with that knowledge. What might seem like honest helpful critiquing to you wont be recieved that way if it is in response to a poster that you have had clashes with and where there is ongoing animosity.It would have been wiser not to post a response at all.

What has happened here and with increasing regularity is simply insensitive responses to sensitive people. If you had a sore spot i am sure you would not like anyone to keep picking at the sore. Thats what seems to have happened in this latest sad episode.

In answer to your question. Yes you have helped lots of people here on the zone and i am sure you are like that offline but human nature being what it is, its the damnage that you may have caused that will be most remembered. EG President Clinton was one of your best presidents in my view but what is he most remembered for ?

Thats just the way it is.
