The IDM list is a public forum, and as such you are displaying your words
and your opinions in front of a lot of people. We discuss music and
creative endeavors of others everyday, and often times in ways that the
people we are discussing would probably not necessarily appreciate. But
that's what making a public statement involves, whether it's a record or a
press release. I don't think it helps to be particularly precious about
what you are putting forth, then you just get hurt because someone laughed
at what you did. I don't think it was a personal attack so much with what
people wrote in response to the press release, but I got a chuckle out of it
when I read it to for exactly the same reasons the other people did... it
came across as liner notes to the secret John Tesh tapes or something. It's
kind of like walking down the street with no pants and being upset that
people are pointing at you, or vicariously upset that people are pointing at
your friend with no pants.

yea i agree, i have only heard a few of his songs, and they are good. I do
agree who ever wrote that press release is a bit tweeked.

Just because you (not just you scott) disagree with someone's writing style,
doesn't mean you have to take the time, not only in front of LOADS of
people, but also in front of the one who wrote it, to bash him
incessantly... and one step beyond that, in the name of my best friend. I am
more than ashamed of all of you. I don't give a shit who you are. It was an
honest and excellent review by someone I care for of someone else I care
for and you're all repeatedly showing how thin skinned you are.. claiming to
be above the average intelligence and instead being all chin scratching ego.
This is truly one worse than the females in IDM thread... which, btw, I am
female as well.
regardless.. I have no idea why I just wasted my time typing all this out..
of the 7 years I've been on this list, its never changed for the better..

done.
