Welcome!!!
We're much nicer over here honest!!!!
I've been flitting between forums, but TOP doesn't seem to discuss much about music anymore!! I'm all for chit chatting and a bit of sillyness, but that's all TOP seems to be now

I just love this thread and the wine bar. It makes me realise that it's not just YAP and myself thinking it's not musical over there anymore. Stuff them I say, let them talk about word games, cars and handing out cups of tea.

I'm feeling like a very naughty school child who has just been reprimanded. I posted 2 posts in answer to Violinia's query about how to post a 'poll'. My answers were genuine. I have just had my knuckles rapped and both posts were swiftly removed. So now nobody can benefit from learning how to post a poll (for anyone like me who didn't previously know)!
I feel as if I have been sent to the corner of the classroom to stand and face the wall.
I began a reply to 'abrown' but then thought.......why bother?
Can I come and join? Nat? Steve?

Yes, come join us & bring a friend! After today's performance, I'm not sure there is any reason there at all.

Yeah, that's because you're a true friend Someone who sticks up for me on there, unlike others who think talking about me is some sort of criminal offence.

I miss the rows I used to provoke with the 'aural is everything' brigade, though. ;D Hey-ho. Life is never perfect ;D You mean aural isn't everything I think the thread on the other board is hysterical, especially the comments from the 'wonderful, talented' newbie whose never heard of you! I used an ID of someone else's to reply to that musicmaestro this morning and it didn't get past the sensors. I don't think that newbie is a proper newbie, my thought is that it's an exisiting member out to have a go at Steve. There are a few people on there who bring out this other ID or re register just to slag off me and Steve, because they're too scared to do it with their normal ID. Wimps. Anyone remember poorpianist? Whoever that is had a go at me a while back when I was NiS and their posts got deleted, but it was evidently an existing member. But of course, how can it be, the Powers That Be say that they can track down people who re register. That, in my opinion, is utter codswallop. Unless they let the "select few" re register so they can have a go at me and Steve. Yeah, I think that's it. Well they can shove their stupid forum and exam board where the sun doesn't shine for all I care. Morons. And I so wish I was going to the Woodford concert, not because I want to meet the people going. Far from it, I'd rather not meet 75% of them, but to tell the mods - apparantly one of them is going - what I really think of them and the way they run that place. Shame I will miss out on that opportunity, anyone care to have the Honour and pleasure of doing it on my behalf?

Sorry another post, Rosemary have you seen the reply in that thread about the poll?

Yes I've just read it! To be honest, the way 'abrown' wrote to me was so immediate and aloof that I was quite taken aback. If they had bothered to check my ID they should have noticed that I joined the fora right back at the beginning - and do I post anything provocative? No, I am boringly well behaved when I post. Not like some of the rubbish that gets added. In the past I have found many of the topics genuinely helpful (especially from Nat in the 'old days', but I don't log in very often now. They seem to be getting paranoid. That's a shame.

You are not allowed to post on the AB forums anything that might be construed as criticism of The Great Violinia. It doesn't have to be a criticism, merely be construed as one. There are a group on the AB forums who can say absolutely anything they want, however rude, dogmatic, unpleasant or stupid that may be. The Great Vile-olinnia is one of them. She and her cronies have created a 'reporting' culture that makes posting anything other than, "Yes. I totally agree with you. Wonderful idea." a moderating offence. The censors play their part brilliantly. So far as I can see, they make no attempt whatever to check the validity of a 'report', preferring to accept it instantly, moderate the poster and remove the thread. The result is the mindlessly dull disaster area those once lively and interesting threads have become. Great to see you here, Rosemary. Bring a few more, eh? Steve

It's their own fault really. They don't want to lose all this (non existant) "musical" discussion, yet they ban and moderate members who want to talk about music. They don't seem to realise that I like having fun and don't post abusively unless I really feel the need to (which is most of the time : But hey, they might regret their actions one day, who knows, but for now they need to deal with the fact that more and more members are getting annoyed with the way they act.

I agree Steve.
What's even funnier, is they kept on at me for "my language" yet others swear too. I reported a few posts, and I wasn't the only one to report them, with "bad language" in it, yet they didn't do anything to remove it.
Obviously myself and the few other reporters, weren't part of the "Favoured Few"
