what's the most ridiculous (serious) post you have seen here?

My best guess is to delete anything connecting that profile to her real name.  Or she's leaving the forum.

From what I've seen she accused someone of stealing her recording.  A few weird episodes, arguments between posters.  And then that thread.

This one.

Erection protection.   

The problem of being in a situation where you're playing the piano and you get an erection.   

Worse when playing cello, surely?

Pianistimo suggested hitting it with a hammer.

What - a piano hammer? - but then one has in any case to allow for the Susanity of the person making such a suggestion....

I was clicking back to see how many posts m1469 had deleted.  She's back to pg 84 now. Page 83 has that. 

Is it really necessary to introduce this into a second thread when there's ample stuff about it in the other one?

Best,

Alistair

I remember that--been a while now since that happened.  She seemed to have recovered from that disaster and moved on...  that was really weird.  Both recordings had a mistake in the same place--or something of that nature.

Yes, on the negative side... The needless bickering an arguments occasionally on here.  Ridiculous as in stupid, pointless.   Not ridiculous funny.

ridiculous, pointless, and just stupid---there's been a lot of that around here at times.  We are musicians though--or some of us here are anyway... by and large not known for our humility.


I am reminded of Handel and Matheson... and their duel.  I found that piece of music history absolutely fascinating when it came up...  even more fascinating than Berlioz and his opium habit..
