You received a reasonable request regarding how to conduct yourself in this thread, just like others who were trying to hijack the conversation. Just because you or someone else hasn't encountered these kinds of "unprecedented outbursts" before doesn't mean we shouldn't be clear about our standards. We shouldn't have to repeat ourselves when a moderator sends out a direct message with specific guidelines...
You weren't issued any warnings prior to receiving a double request for clarification—an attempt to ensure you actually saw or understood the rules, even if that seemed unlikely at the time.
You also received a private message explaining the situation, which you pretended not to understand, while simultaneously questioning a moderator's authority to set and enforce rules on their own subforum. Nothing happened to you then.
The warnings only came after you ignored everything said and decided to keep doing exactly what you were doing.
Once again, you received a response via DM along with instructions on how to behave in that controversial thread, including a detailed explanation of why. Apparently, even that wasn't enough for you...
As far as this specific topic goes, you have my final word, and that is where the matter ends. You won't be getting anything further regarding this issue.
The only thing left is a ban, triggered by your decision to post the contents of a private message publicly.
Carol Young3 said:I'm actually curious who Spyro is—some kind of local city inspector? 😁
That would be Tomislav Speranda. He's playing bass for Arsenal now (a local cover band out in Seattle).
To get ahead of the next question 😁, Renato from Australia is Renato Grancieri. He makes furniture over in Melbourne and plays music for the American community there.
I don't think you quite caught my drift. It was probably just the emoji... 🙂 I definitely sounded a bit condescending there. I tend to do that sometimes. 🙂 But now I'm the one feeling lost. I assume you were being sarcastic, though I'm not great at picking up on those cues... 🤷 Anyway, I'll stop veering off-topic now. Here we go. 🙂
It looks like those folks still haven't caught on. 🙂 Honestly, you’re such a perfect candidate for some serious coaching. 🙂 Whether it's music, culinary trends, or where to find reliable info... I see massive potential for growth here. It's just a shame I can't be bothered to put in the effort myself. I'm rooting for you though...
You've got it wrong, man. The guys are just tearing into him, and it’s not necessarily about attacking some war profiteer—to borrow a phrase from some confused kid who's just looking for attention. But hey, let them rip!
The kiln is an S-type, firebrick model. And let's move on from Joe; he has his own thread for that. I've been a fan of the band for years now. I wonder if they'll ever tour here in the States?...🙂

😁 Yeah, they definitely lean into that friendly small talk... but they’re sweet as can be to elderly ladies coming from the airport; they always end up checking my chest area. (I mean, it's hard to miss. 😳) But about two years ago, I managed to sneak a small bottle of tequila into the midsection area for a friend at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. 🙂 They didn't even check the bra; they were perfectly professional. 😁

😕 They actually grabbed me to check if the clasp was original. Why would I look suspicious in the first place?.. 😕
Alright, everyone, I might try to dig in and post everything at once, but honestly, I don't see the fun in that. 😁 And you, quietcobra, if you were actually being a decent kid, you’d just give me the bracelet for free. 🙂 But then again, it’s built so well it won't tear, even if you never take it off.
After all those massive seasons of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, rock shows, and everything in between, I still haven't mastered the art of scheduling so I don't miss out on anything I actually want to see. If my plan is to write, grab a drink, and just wander around... it’s just not happening.
Kate Sullivan22 said:and they played one set at a single venue.
Yeah, I remember my aunties talking about how much they would have loved to see them live if they ever got the chance. 😁 Though, honestly, they were never really my thing, whether as guys or as musicians. 😁 Okay, fine, as musicians they were better.
Meanwhile, I was busy watching stuff on Mount Everest and listening to The Ramones <3 and let3. 🙂 mommy too. <3 Now, that was more my style. 🙂 But I doubt all those bands were active in the same year... I don't just think so, I'm certain they weren't.
edit 😁: I actually wrote this before heading out for coffee, but I didn't hit send, and then someone else jumped in first. 🙂
