This is quite enough Nick - Hendrik has apologised for his initial post and
you do not even have the good grace to accept his apology;  instead you
continue to throw insults.

He is a very helpful / thoughtful member of the LUG / EXS community.  Yes he
has strong opinions which may sometimes come across as arrogant or abrasive,
but the standard of his contributions over the years to this group has been
very high - and his frequent assistance with technical matters and the FAQ /
Logic tips section is invaluable for many people.

You, having been flamed and taken offence, have just piled on the invective
and seem not to be big enough to stand down for a moment.

I don't mind strong disagreements - indeed I think they're very healthy (and
I don't agree with Hendrik's implication that rigorously quantized
electronic or dance music tends to lack emotional affect - for example).
But you do yourself no favours by the very deliberately insulting manner in
which you make your arguments.  As they say in football you should play the
ball and not the man.

no one likes attacks on their character - musicians (the somewhat rude
implication being that you are one and Hendrik is not?) are not some higher
breed. you have amply demonstrated that. everyone deserves some respect and
politeness.

sorry,
