I do wish we would call each other names like "moron"
or "nut case" or worse, it really does not get us anywhere
and it really does belittle those of us who have to deal with mental health
issues and epithets like this almost every day.

Hearing them really does hurt, and they belittle and demean.

If anything we should be here to work on helping one another,
building each other up and encouraging those who might have doubts
or questions about their playing, doesn't that make sense?

I mean I am really and truly sorry I said the things I said in some past
posts, but what is said is said and on the record, and all I can do now is
try to make things better by trying to mend fences and post better, and more
level-headed posts.

That's all really, let's be a board of Clarinet enthusists, and not
name-callers. Let's be constructive and pro-active, rather than
de-constructive and re-active.

Lets all try to just repect one another and get along with one another for
the sake of decency, and civility, and that funny thing called "netiquette."

Shalom and gut shabbos,
