BECAUSE EVERYBODY HATES YOU, only joking
, I have no idea why really

I think you're pretty coolI'll finish this post off though by saying that If I am accepted here with All my Failings then anybody can be accepted here.
Edit: Not cool as in cool, I'd never accuse you of being 'hip', 'down with the kids', on 'cred street' or having ever passed through the 'cred central' tube stop. But I like your posts and you're a more then affable chap.
the op should realise that this is the internet, it means nothing and if you are getting upset at what you read then just don't read it.
sometimes I despair![]()
People come on here all the time talking about their experiences or offering advise without any criticism but for some reason (and I know this is an age issue) when I post, some posters see it has me being a 'know all'.
I'll be very lucky if I live another 15 years in the area I come from so why I can't talk about my life experiences is beyond me.
So I saw Led Zep 4 times and other amazing classic rock bands but why should that bother anybody on here except the likes of Big Kev or ElvisFan?
Somebody has even used my Human resources job at the NHS against me to have a dig which is so childish.
I give advise in the MUSIC section and I know by emails I get that some people are just waiting to have a dig at the simplest things I post eg 'I'd recommend a Gibson Les Paul Standard' and then I get an email saying '**** *** you old ****, you know nothing'.
I'm not a very clever person and I use these forums to learn and ask advise and the quality of posters on here is excellent.
I have learnt so much in the last few years I've been here but every now & then I can add something from my experiences and suddenly I'm the devil.
So go on, have your say, why can't I have my say without some posters having a dig?
eg 'I'd recommend a Gibson Les Paul Standard' and then I get an email saying '**** *** you old ****, you know nothing'.
People are sending him abusive messages to his email.
He has a right to be ****** off
Having just read the "phobia" thread that's being discussed on here, I can see why you might have irritated people by coming across as a pedant. Which you do in that thread.
I would also second this. DMPoole, your attitude of 'I've experienced it, I must be right' is what gets on people's ****. You've experienced Led Zep, thus you must be right about music, you've experienced mental asylums and now you know all there is to know about them.
It's OK taking this attitude, but it seems that your opinions are so cemented into your brain that when you get told that you are wrong, you take it as a personal insult.
I have no issue with you or your posts. However, I don't think you realise how you come across sometimes. For instance, the phobia thread; who do you think you are to tell someone that their 'phobia' is actually a 'fear'? You are not the authority on the subject, have no training to make this assumption, and finally don't even know the person...!
Just think about what you're saying before you hit the post button and how what you're about to post will be interpreted.

you care too much
I saw Led Zep 4 times
Never once had a problem with you old chap, but it would seem that in this day and age, people are considerably more aggressive in their interactions with others.
If you're getting bad e-mails, mail a moderator, administrator or even an Underboss, taking stuff privately to be offensive is never warranted for opinions on a public forum.
People who aren't afraid to give opinions will always get stuff thrown at them at any given opportunity, some people do take this too far, I've had it in consoles numerous times (as have a few other people who come to mind), I see it in Motors, in Music and of course, in GD.
It's not just you, but you're a senior member on here and it seems that they do possibly become targets when newer posters take things the wrong way.
As I said, if anything is ever abusive, forward it on to a mod, don or UB. (Yes, I do realise I put Underboss with capitals and not the others, it's because I'm gay).
