That makes sense, I'm apparently checking all of the wrong threads.

I always found Alitair's posts to be entertaining, that guy was very unique.
I miss The Truth, but I haven't seem him around here in a long time. That could be a symptom of the fact that I haven't been around as much lately though.
I'd add colorofmoney91 to the list but I have him on facebook so that one is covered
Does Epignosis still post here? I haven't seen him in a long time, but again, that could be a symptom of me not being around very much anymore.

After starting this thread I started to realize that my memory has become so poor that I can't remember anyone else that I miss. I know that I'm missing them but I can't recall who they are.

E, Great to see you on here. It's weird, but I felt very honored that you fb'ed me when you were taking your leave. I've enjoyed keeping in touch.
Henry was a hoot as well, Snow Dog too, a lot of people have gone on.
I'm surprised no one mentioned Jody (The Progtologist if I remember correctly). I haven't seen him in ages.
Someone was asking about why people fade from PA. I can say this, I took a break for about a year and a half myself, for me there was just a general disengagement from a lot of the things that I had enjoyed. There was a lot of personal strife going on in my life and music in general just didn't have a lot of the same magic that it had had throughout the previous forty years of my life. It was mostly related to things that had nothing to do with music, but still, sometimes the death of one passion can have an ancilary effect on your other passions.

Honestly, I feel a bit guilty regarding a thing between the two of us a few years ago and you proposed we add Steely Dan and I pushed too hard against it and it got contentous. This came on the heels of you defending me against a pretty heartless attack against me when I was going through a bad health issue. It was never personal. Believe me.

you would be surprised. I did get a bit out there and you know me, when I get rolling and when I start foaming at the mouth I have the tendency to really say what I think and feel and often it can appear to insult and degrade those different. Never intended though. However yeah, I did get unfriended a few times which I always understood. As Raff often tells me... I can be a real hand-ful to deal with. 
As far as that... we all were a bit crazy then. I understood completely. We all were a bit overly passionate then, long forgiven and long forgotten. As far as that other unfortunately incident, I did what anyone would have done. You are a sweetheart, the dude who came at you was trash. I will defend a friend in a heartbeat, and back then I also got great kicks at taking out the trash with some of the morons we used to have posting here. Part of the internet tough guy schtick which I loved mainly because it is so in reality from what I really am
Great to see you back. I don't think it will take you long to see what Raff and I have noticed, many have, the forum today is a MUCH different place than it was during the 'glory' days.

Hey, I've come to accept your political beliefs, you pinko liberal. 
Somebody tried to bait me into a big political discussion on Facebook last week. It really is a never ending cluster &*%! when you get to argue politics. Nobody budges.
I've mellowed a lot since. Things have happened that have put things into perspective.

loudly and proudly pink and liberal It is nice to leave it at home though Eric. FB drew it out in me, and a drip becomes a torrent for me. One of the many reasons I finally gave up on FB. I leave it at home here. I do like that about the site, so much music, so much mischief, so little room for the really important stuff It is an escape. The thing that drew me to it in the first place. Instead of escaping my own personal hell.. I just escape the big picture hell and how this country is going right down the toilet.

just wait till he finally meet ol' evil Uncle Micky...I'll have him appreciating the brilliance of Phil Collins and digging Misunderstanding and learning the secret truth that prog Genesis is the single greatest cure for insomnia prog rock has ever given us. Let him have an evening with me and my Osanna CD's... he'll never go back to Genesis again hahaha

 My daughter's about to turn 9 and she asked for a Queen album for Xmas. So she's on the right path too.

(it's why those particular people are bitter, miserable, shut-in basement dwellers, who's only way of affecting the world around them is via a negative exchange with some faceless person on the other end of a wire) I'm digging this forum because it's kept pleasant. I agree with anyone who takes a walk once it turns unpleasant. I do the same (without fanfare or announcement) I hate this attitude of 'if you don't like it - ignore it, it's just the internet'. How do people not understand that everyone else here is also a person and unless they're deeply emotionally damaged, they expect a mutually pleasant experience online. sorry - that came from nowhere .. |
Well, I'm not claiming innocence. I'm sure I've played the 'douche bag' card from time-to-time. Yeah, I know it's hard to believe to those who know me.  E
