bleep

[aslanov]

i think we should let piantissimus use bleep, infact, if she ever wants to say something, as she usually does, since its all worthless banter anyway, any post she writes should just automatically be replaced by bleep by some coding added to the forum.

get on that admins. GET ON IT!

If she is allowed back, that is a great idea.

i have browsed through quite a few of pianistimo posts and her views towards religion i  find to be quite narrow minded personally - especially topics in regards to freemasonry and the illuminati etc...... which is nothing more than load of conspiracy theory garbage.

one thing i do believe however is that regardless of when religion is brought to mind - one must not forget regardless of ones personal preferences towards opinion and belief - is that nearly all the great composers or great works of art for that matter are permeated by religious symbolism and that is without a doubt established fact(thought i would state the obvious - hey why not)


to quote Richard Wagner's prose works on religion and art
"ONE might say that where Religion becomes artificial, it is reserved for Art to save the spirit of religion by recognising the figurative value of the mythic symbols which the former would have us believe in their literal sense, and revealing their deep and hidden truth through an ideal presentation. Whilst the priest stakes everything on the religious allegories being accepted as matters of fact, the artist has no concern at all with such a thing, since he freely and openly gives out his work as his own invention. But Religion has sunk into an artificial life, when she finds herself compelled to keep on adding to the edifice of her dogmatic symbols, and thus conceals the one divinely True in her beneath an ever growing heap of incredibilities commended to belief. Feeling this, she has always sought the aid of Art; who on her side has remained incapable of higher evolution so long as she must present that alleged reality of the symbol to the senses of the worshipper in form of fetishes and idols,— whereas she could only fulfil her true vocation when, by an ideal presentment of the allegoric figure, she led to apprehension of its inner kernel, the truth ineffably divine"

very simple: pianissimo=pp=very soft. pianist=pianist (piano=soft, forte=strong. "piano e forte" was the first name of our beloved instrument, (because it gave us the opportunity to play in different dynamics in contrast to the harpsichord) shortened to "piano" during the time, wasn't it? )

It sure feels weird not having pianistimo around here.  Is it possible for PS to continue without the presence of pianistimo?

Mass. principal bans students from saying 'Meep!'



To think, we've had this behavior here.  You could be suspended now for meeping.

*meeeep*

(*behaves inadequately*)

Am I now suspended?

I'm surprised they would suspend.  It lowers numbers.  Probably only a threat then.

Hehehe.... The site lists the guy's name.  I'm sure he email.     I bed he would appreciate a lot email spam containing various meeps.
