Leahcim,
The only thing I found patronising was you trying to insinuate that Id exaggerated the level of my playing. I was a little offended by this, as it really isnt the case what so ever
I don't want to carry this on - ok, but go back and read what I said because I explain why I will remove the teacher reply 4 or 5 times. Since you claim never to lie, you've obviously been in a deep coma since at least reply 2, so it won't hurt
Just to make it clear, the guy who posted the other piano questions, IMO, is a guy that would benefit from the Larry Fine book. That's not you - you made that crystal clear and from that reply were quite put out. Mea culpa. There aren't many on equal terms with him, so all I can say is stop asking the questions about pianos and start giving us your input instead
IMO, the guy that asked the teacher question and gave us the initial description of his piano, isn't in a position to assess the sound of his own playing, let alone begin to lie about it - I never said he was BSing at all - I actually said I thought he had reached the conclusion, not that I had - and he had, I thought, already said, to me, in a thread about finding a teacher that "(b)" - which was all about technique" - was what he wanted to learn. That's evidently not you. Mea culpa.
[I did give my opinion that your level given what you'd said, sounded unbelievable, and you jumped on that with ad hominen rubbish about egos and "get over its" perhaps I should have left that out, but look at it this way - if you've done something that others find amazing, why sweat it? That opinion wasn't what the thread was ever about] I'm sure if you stop taking it personally for a minute you can see that.
Hence my apology for assuming you were that guy and as you've just said, you can see why I thought it.
As for thread, I've found the thread very productive TBH, I know you've misunderstood much which has meant a lot of points repeated over and over. But look - in the thread you claim was "Destroyed" I said to answer exactly how a piano might harm devel. you'd need "specifics not generalities" and in this thread you actually gave a 1/2 decent description of your piano.
Obviously you realise, when you get a reply to a post only the words in that post or previous posts can be referred too and when you reply saying "I meant..." and completely change your description or your point, then the earlier replies can't change.
So yeah, the other thread was crap, but I say that's as much to do with what you put in the question. Rather than saying "negative" and "narrow minded" etc in other threads why didn't you just improve your question / describe the piano. Similary, you improved your question about piano buying in here too.
Oh, and please, on that note - stop the #$%#@$ pretence that you aren't posting here - you are - we both are - accept responsibility for your posts and their content and stop appealing to the gallery for adjudication of who is right "Oh great audience can thou see how I have been forsaken - It is not I that are at fault, am I? I am being attacked. He's wrong isn't he? Hello?" FFS, get a grip, man
You didn't try to stop the thread and you have asked me my age, my sex and made many ad hominen remarks about teenage girls and my ego - but I've ignored these - because behind the ex-usenet buffoon filling posts with "troll", you can probably join in a thread without all the histrionics that usenet requires. OTOH, prove me wrong there too if you like, you've done that a few times
You've taken a few things a bit too personally imo and yes, since we've been posting in the same time zone there are a lot of replies. OTOH, to address allthumbs - I wouldn't read the word association thread from beginning to end and complain about it's lack of content, number or posts, or it's inability to entertain folk who aren't joining in - it doesn't mean the thread is "wrong" does it? The rest of board has been there allthumbs, if you'd wanted to start or join in a thread.
But yeah, I would say the usefulness has ceased.
