Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Piano Forum hello goodbye

Markiemark can do what he wants.

I read his thread and thought that he got some very good and sincere comments (except from Guapo). At every turn, he pushed back at these sincere comments in very aggressive ways. Example: telling bt_s_p that he needed to do more research about what "reputable" means. Really. Then he comes to this thread and belittles the entire forum.

HAHAHA

im still here , I gather what I said has stirred up a bit of debate , If I offened anyone I do apologise , I can deal with the comments sometimes it just frustrates me I cant deal with the person face to face , but I will try to be good , and like someone as said I can block anyone , just as they can block me , I wasn't trying to be aggressive with back to study piano its just our definitions of reputable seem to be different , but I see you argument has changed from your original comment about getting my own technician to check my piano out to companies going bust , which dosent makes sense really our main discussion to begin with was on the quality of the product they were selling me as you said get it checked by your own technician as all they want to do is sell you a piano , and as I said earlier that is not always the case , as I tried to explain my local company I can buy with confidence that the product is as described serviced regulated and tuned , having no need for an extra technician if the companies you buy from cant be trusted to deliver that service then maybe you need to pay a technician to check it out for you but I don't , but you seem to have moved it on to being about companies going bust which was never in the original discussion so you kind of lost me on that one.you just seemed to make an assumption that everyone who is selling used pianos cant be trusted which as I said earlier is too much of a generalisation but each to their own I guess

At first I just thought you honestly were at the verge of making a big mistake but now you're obviously trolling.
Troll alert.

Markiemark-

you are not alone.

I frequent forums on :
Acoustic Guitars
Fiddles
Violin
Ukulele
Fords
and Motorized Bicycles

and I have to say it now- this is the most snobbish of them all.

It's something about the COST of the instruments obviously. Blows away by far the other instruments easily.

All internet forums are run by a fairly right leaning corporation somehow and little Caesar moderators like to circummvent any serious political discussion, while I find as a transgendered woman there's always an undercurrent of disrespect directed at me, either personally or as a TG. It seems the more affluent cyber mob shares a lot of communication across and likes to get more "thug" than they would confess to regarding the personal events of one's life.

Oh well. Childish people will stay that way.

I've gotten ganged up and moderated for saying things you'd have to stretch to find offensive, while they act like models of decorum and conduct campaigns of secret insult and irritation.

More people are disenfranchised by such bully cretins as time goes on, and they have to stay hidden or more so it would be. But childish people just keep pushing buttons. It's part of their twisted elitist philosophy somehow.

I've learned not to feel guilty especially over NOT turning too many somersaults to appease the never appeased. They rage on though and generally accuse others of what they are most guilty of.

I will survive. And so will you. Don't let morons run you off who are already fixed into some kind of constant angle here. Try to give it some time, and you'll see what I mean.

Anyone want in on the pool for which Mod locks the thread?

Kurt

It does look like it's headed in that direction, doesn't it. What a shame.

Oh, and where I'm from, gambling is illegal, except for the state run lottery.

Rick

Ah "thread locking" OBEY!

They used to say, "just change the channel"

Now it's like "I don't like what people are saying! Mommy STOP THEM"

I often feel that "they" abuse me because I'm a left-handed Anabaptist.

Don't the bully cretins who run the evil, right-leaning PianoWorld conglomerate know that LHAs have feelings too?

Re your hasty goodbye:

One of the lessons I learned is not how much people insult you. They invariably will.

But how wrong they were when looking back years later.

Norbert

Us piano people are not above or different from anyone else when it comes to rude comments online.

but I agree, don't let a few bad comments ruin your experience here (or your day for that matter).. if you do, you'll never be able to logon to anything online ..

Excellent advice, Norbert; for each of us in one circumstance or another

must be a record for me in regards to post on a thread , what does locking a thread mean ? the section that most interest me on here is the beginners section as i find it very encouraging , i probably will stear clear on advice on a particular piano , as with a woodwork forum i use , discussing pieces of equipment whether it be a new power drill or a Steinway piano can cause us boys with our toys emotions to get all stirred up.

must say the blocking button is really handy on here

Hello Mark. I am assuming you are an adult, consequently I have read nothing that would offend one. You asked for an opinion and in my view it was given. You were given sage advice regarding buying a smaller piano and its limitations, some even considered what you were proposing to buy a "toy piano". Even with my limited knowledge and experience I know that within a year or so of learning to play the piano, you will outgrow it. However, if that is what you want that is your choice, but please do not take umbrage when people give you advice that you do not want to hear.

Seems to me that this would be a good note on which to end this thread, which has taken some decidedly unnecessary twists and turns.

Markiemark... locking a thread means that a moderator closes a thread so that no one else can comment on it.
This thread is now locked.
