Earbrass Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 When I first went to secondary school, aged about eleven, there was a boy who clearly had some er, "issues". He would to get very very upset and fly into rages, or tearful tantrums, for reasons that weren't at all obvious to the rest of us. He would often be followed around by groups of pupils just to see what he would do next. This made his behaviour worse, until eventually his parents had to remove him from the school. I am not proud to say that I was one of those who sometimes followed him round to gawp and laugh at his antics. What I've seen on basschat in the last few days with the "inti" issue has reminded me of those times. This can be a wonderful and supportive place, but I don't think this has been its finest hour.

Some people just like to put the boot in and they feel stronger with their gang in support. Very easy on line, but I wonder how tough these people are face to face, one on one. It's all a bit 'Lord Of The Flies' and quite unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened was that he posted a video of himself and everybody was very polite about his playing but a few said that it wasn't their cup of Darjeeling. He responded to this furiously, revealing himself to be both arrogant and to have a vastly inflated opinion of his (admittedly quite good) abilities. Worse of all, he showed that has no sense of humour or understanding of the concept of irony, which is obviously going to expose him to ridicule on a forum dominated by British musicians! If you are going to act like a d1ck then you can expect to be treated like one.... Edited February 8, 2013 by peteb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] For me, it's a passage or a phrase in a piece of music that conjures up a recollection or an image of something from my past. I saw Vicki Clayton playing this evening and there was one song that just sent me into autopilot - I was in the room, I was only half hearing what she was singing because I was mentally miles away. It wrapped me, enveloped me and guided me through a series of images through to the end. Absolutely marvellous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 For me, it has always been about harmony and modulation. I remember as a young child at church always liking the hymns with movement in them. Now it's Falling Grace but the 'special' ingrediant is still the harmony.

Chill out or I'll fetch my gang from South Wales! Clown! Whore! Taxi Driver! Seriously though, without knowing a thing about what you refer to, in general, I'm sure that these things are painful, wouldn't want to be subjected to it myself, and I'm sorry you had such an experience. It may very well be that we do have to reconsider our actions in situations like this. However, by large I don't see people with doubtable courage, or gang supported attacks. By large, mind. I mainly see individuals getting provoked into action, and agreeing with one another. The pattern I seem to see, and I recognise that in myself, is that people start out friendly and polite and stay constructive until they're provoked enough, and something snaps. It's at that point I'm sure we need to show more restraint - not allowing that snap to get the better of us. OTOH, IMHO, restraint may never be allowed to become a free ticket for the Intis of this world to demand respect without showing any, to harrass and attack when people disagree or in other ways don't provide what the Intis crave. Sometimes it's just too late to simply stay away. best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Sorry Redstriper, can't really agree with you here, I would love the opportunity to talk to Inti one to one in person just to see where he is really coming from. He was the one that dished out all the spite and vitriol. OK, Earbrass may have had a point, we don't know about the guy's mental state, but really, I think he's the bully on here and is the one hiding behind the internet. I think the BC community came to the defence of their own who were under attack by a bigot. Cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
