Being new and unknown here, I do not presume to have earned trust or respect from any OLF members. Being of the conviction that I could always be wrong because there's always something I don't know, I do not presume that any attempt on my part to contribute anything is worthwhile. I do assert, however, that my interest in instrument building is keen and sincere, as is my esteem and gratitude for the community here. Therefore I apologize ahead of time to the forum in general: if the following is out of line, if common respect is not well conveyed, for sustaining the heinous derailment of this thread, and for the fact that it all may well end up as just slashing at the hydra, but I feel compelled to address "the Padma".
Yo, Padmaji:
Namaste. I mean it. I honor the true highest Reality which resides within you, as it does within us all.
I do not feel however, that you abide in any special manifestation of that Reality on this relative plane in which we all try to go about our business. I freely admit to being a self-hating, clock using slave, but nonetheless, as you can probably tell, feel that your deportment in fact debases the spirit of cooperation, comraderie, high-grade communication, and nurturing that otherwise mostly dominates here at the OLF.
Earlier in this thread, you wrote, in part:
Quote: Just who do you think you are...judging another human being for expressing there opinion?
Prior to which you wrote:
Quote: You dudes have watched way too much over powered and then souped up to boot editions of Tim Allans, Fool Time, and have bought the program hook line and sinker.
Is this not a judgemental statement?
You also wrote:
Quote: ...unless you got a written dispensation from God himself to criticize others....please be so kind as to back off.
Preceeded immediately by:
Quote: That my friend is your hallucination, pardon me, your interpretation...
Is this not a criticism?
You also admonish:
Quote: I would much appreciate you responding in kind by keeping your comments about telling me what to do to yourself.
But in the same post issue the commands:
Quote: Use a dictionary for the difficult words. and Quote: Don't try and change the wind in me ass.
The sheer number of hipocrisies per square inch in your posts would make hilarious satire if it wasn't clear that you are dead serious about your self-proclaimed superior status. Your "Wise Man" persona, which I find preposterously cheezy and amateurish, does a poor job veiling the sanctimonious, sneering insults that ooze, onto one unsuspecting forum member or another, from almost every post of yours that I've read.
If you are truly enlightened or transcended then the the limitations and defects of others cause you no disdain, hence I feel you should dial it the hell down and confine the expression of your opinions to luthiery, not people. If in fact you suffer from some degree of limitation like the rest of us, you have nothing to feel superior about, hence I feel you should dial it the hell down and confine the expression of your opinions to luthiery, not people.
If you find such confinements to be unacceptable limitations on your exaltedness then I, Sanaka, personally, respectfully, wish you would remove your bestowal of blessings to locations elsewhere.
