Correct. I wasn't really apologising.

Well it's obvious and quite unnecessary.

I thought you were being triggered because you said;
"Don’t try to censor my professional option on the topic with your sensitivity."

I'll admit, I may have been reading the wrong tone into that sentence.

Yes well read what I write in a happy tone and you will not be mistaken because I am quite content responding on pianostreet as I have done 16+ years, why would I post on here in an angry mood for so long? Want to encourage heart attacks? lol

My comment was more about the accusation of showing off or making up stories than about calling the OP's idea dumb. I don't totally disagree with your assessment of the idea, I just thought there was no reason to assume ulterior motives for asking the question.

I merely asked a question I did not accuse. You made an error about me calling an idea dumb and thinking I meant the person is also dumb. So now I asked a question and you twist it to think it is a statement of my ideology? I asked a question it is a question asking them to reveal their situation more clearly and logically, I infered two conclusions and presented them as a question.

With all the circumstantial evidence pointing in one direction I feel inspired to express my inferences. If I am wrong that's totally fine, but there is explaining to do to make that so, it is not uncommon to reveal story telling or stretching of truths when something odd comes up on the internet, so it is no problems to question the truthfulness of people. 

Really? I don't remember asking you, or anyone else… ever… to delete anything.

You call peoples responses unnecessary and harsh without backing yourself up, does that mean you are so happy to see their post remain up there or would you prefer to see it removed?

Agreed! And by the same token, it should be totally fine for others to comment on those opinions. State your opinions in whatever manner you please but don't expect others to hold back if they don't like what you said or how you said it.

Sure they can critique everything I write, but when I ask them to explain themselves they often cannot and thus admit error on their behalf as you have already done.

This one I'm agnostic about....

Personally the majority of the times I wouldn't entertain stupid ideas with politeness if they asked me for an opinion. I'd rather violently rip someone away from traps without them second guessing that it might be ok to do otherwise.

You may be right (at least for some people) but I do think there is a difference between being blunt and being a jerk. Saying the OP's idea is dumb I'll accept was just you bluntly giving you opinion. Accusing him of showing off or making things up came across as a bit jerky. I'm not asking you to stop, I was just stating my opinion.

Well we can continue this dialogue and I can show you how you are mistaken. Simply put you think I am accusing someone of something where I am merely asking a question. Why would I come on here just to be nasty to someone? I come on here 16+ years just to be nasty to people? I come here to offer my professional opinion as a piano teacher, I will offer my advice in anyway way I feel fit, I donate my professional opinion to many people and do not ask for anything in return. I question truthfulness of situations when a situation is created but the questions or results that extend from the those efforts are highly unusual.

I'm not interested in getting into a big debate over this so I'll let you have the last word.

You don't have to, but you are going to get called up for harvesting unfounded opinion on someone and then feeling the need to post it publically.
