Re: [newmellotrongroup] 'real people playing real instruments'

Is it snobbery? Not at all Mike. But I think historically you put down a  
lot more music than you herald. I think many would agree with this. And  
sometimes the way you do so comes off as a bit arrogant. Personally, I  don't 
care if we share the same musical likes or dislikes. And I don't care if  you 
or anyone else wishes to share them. I also enjoy discourse. We can agree,  
we can disagree, we can discuss; all of us. That's fun.
 
Back on the old site I think it was how you presented your viewpoint  more 
than the viewpoint itself that pissed Don (and perhaps others) off enough  
to toss you out. I think he should have discussed it with you off list and he 
 may have. I don't know.
 
I don't think any of this discussion has tilted toward the falsely stated  
(highlighted) Don Tillman viewpoint below. MY point in this sentence,  right 
now is that I think you pissed Don off until he  couldn't stand you anymore.
 
I believe that the reason this group exists is because the folks here that  
used to be there did not agree that he should have done that, regardless of 
how  much you rubbed him the wrong way. That's originally why I left  the 
old group and came here.

Is it snobbery to say you like one thing and dislike another?  I'm not  
sure I've done anything other than say that.  Or is it just that I don't  share 
your point of view?

This is all starting to reek of the  Don Tillman view of 'if you don't like 
XXX then you're not one of us'  that I thought this list was created to 
escape  from.

That's an odd phrase coming from  you.

This all  smacks of musical snobbery to me.
