Because it turned into the same old pissing contest. You know I am going to kill that sort of discussion. Nobody wants to read this crap especially me. I don't believe for a second that the posting of links to songs recorded by people that others just can't get on with was done for any other reason than to stir up trouble. This is kindergarten mentality. Some of you just do yourselves a disservice by making yourselves look like spoilt children. If I was a potential client reading how some of you behave in public I would have serious concerns about risking hiring some people for a professional engagement in case these personality flaws emerged because an insensitive audience member happened to push their buttons.

There definately are people that just are unable to interact civilly .. so they shouldn't .... it's that easy. Maybe I should follow Bill's example at smallgig.com because people wouldn't get away with that sort of behavior there without getting permanently banned. It seems like some can't behave like civilized human beings and do require severe censorship though that is not how I feel a forum should be run but it seems like some of you want to take that choice from me.

Show some self control or I will do it on your behalf. Some of you make it impossible for people to post their recordings when it is always turned into temper tantrums. And we wonder why people are loathe to post links to their music.

If people have nothing to say about someones work other than vitriolic criticism ( either directly or through sarcastic innuendo ) then their opinion provides no benefit to anyone here and is not at all welcome.
