So: Have I offended anyone, and if so, what's the offense? Feel free to answer here, by PM, or simply ignore the question.Smile
 
Hey Mike,
 
 
despite our (very) different views on many subjects and leaving and coming back and endless self-promotion for PF (and that's not prog folkCry) and your sometimes harsh criticism of the soooooo unperfect site (and I agree it isWink) your posting on  >>> but that's long ast (for me anyway)Smile ....
 
I haven't noticed that you are getting more slack than before. ...... But then again, I'm not in your shoes, so it's difficult for me to judge past this.... I barely post here anymore (in this part of the forum), but it doesn't mean I don't read around, once in a while....
 
I haven't read your thread past the first few posts, mainly because if someone does have griefs with you, it's none of my business.... so I won't read it
 
 
But IF I was you, I sure as hell wouldn't open threads like this , opening avenues or boulevards for possible  cheap shots and others blows leading straight to your heart   out in the public .... Hopefully for you, no-one has done so. Wink

I'm not saying that's a huge problem, and in general the genre teams are doing great work and there isn't any need for vetoes. However, on my website everyone can add any band they like, and I always thought that was a good thing. Nowadays it seems like nobody is even recognizing it. People seem to be content with deferring judgment to the teams, or with waiting months before they can review an album because the team is busy discussing other bands. I guess I simply was wrong in assuming that when you offer a website that fixes these problems, people would take notice.

^ I like to eat and I enjoy a balanced diet, so carbs are just as important as protein to me, but I don't have a weight problem and I'm sure the low-carb thing is effective for weight loss

Count me in too............. I am doing a 800 km long charity ride over 7 days in the beginning of July (in 95 days time). I am 15 kgs over my match weight and untrained. 300 km of those 800 km goes through Western Ross. There is hardly a flat piece of road in that area. The rest is exposed to wind and the elements, being out on the islands here.

PANIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

True. I am a madman. Totally.

I will be OK at the end though. The best thing is that the cold weather, besides of creating havoc with my training regime, also have killed some trillion midges. That means I can rely on blood supply to and from my heart during that tour. Which is a nice, unexpected bonus.

An ambulance after the first 50 k most likely.  Tongue
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Where is this thread going Mike and has it elicited the required feedback to the OP ?

Should some feckless soul actually step up to mark and claim they have been offended by any of your previous posts, you clearly do not plan to either retract or express regret for having done so ?

Ergo, we are all cognisant that some of our views may alienate some members of PA but the overwhelming majority do not seek to elicit confirmation of same via a 'collateral damage report'.

Five pages of 'we agree to differ' is borderline offensive

By the way, I just want to say, regarding your site, it's been an extremely valuable tool for me for evaluating Crossover nominees.  Also, best of luck with your weight loss regimen. 

People sometimes get a little too pissy around here.  If you're not here for the fun, there are probably better uses of your time.  I was about to post in that thread where you made the dietary recommendation to the guy seeking prayers that you can count on ProgArchives for prayers, best wishes, and low carb diet advice.  Then I had to wonder, would this really cheer the guy up?  Maybe I should have been bolder.  And who knows?  Maybe his health problems are diet related, maybe not.  So anyway 'nuff said...

Make that fifteen pages when I have shared with you all the heart-attack inducing trivialities from a dull life.

No. ProgFreak has not offended me.  I have never had any online conversations or exchanges of views with ProgFreak. So just to get that one sorted out; I say "how do you do" to Mr. Prog Freak.Smile

what Forum would that be. As someone who often offends people myself sometimes I'm inclined to sit back and watch some other experts go at it.
