I have not seen a post by him on my feed since the "believers thing". I think he just misunderstood what I was talking about. I never question anyone's religious beliefs, I just meant that anyone who believes blindly ought to have a little bit personal research on what one is taught by the religions, the schools, and society in general. I got nothing at all against any religious belief, nor do I debate religion or politics for the most part, other than to say I am not religious. I am not a believer but I am also not a disbeliever, I just think everything is a possibility. Jesus, possible, Moses, possible, Mohammad, possible, Buddha, possible. All of them brought some good news to the planet. Why should I demean their teachings since what they say for the most part is good news.

I always liked Howie, too bad.....
If you are, then the rest of us are too.

Maybe he's in jail for indecent behavior with a small, furry animal again?  :D

he should like hairless animals then. Unlike Sheep who likes big hairy ones.........    
Ahhh, he's cool. Pretty thick skinned. He's probably just busy. I'm sure others have told him much worse crap than that.  ;D he'll be around soon. :)

Not to many "believers" left around here. I can see some folks getting frustrated though, I guess.
Yeah it has slowed down quite a bit, not only from those who came from Pod Forums, but others who came from the Digitech GNX forums as well. I guess we all kinda wandered away from those interests a bit. Although I have been toying with the idea of another Bean the HD Bean just for recording purposes.
Maybe he finally figured out a joke I pulled on him a month ago and isn't happy now?
Or...
Maybe he finally figured out a joke I pulled on him two months ago and isn't happy now?
Or...
Maybe he finally figured out a joke I pulled on him six months ago and isn't happy now?
Or...
Maybe he finally figured out a joke I pulled on him a year ago and isn't happy now?

:D

I went trolling for Howies in another thread, but he hasn't taken the bait yet.  ;) :)
Never know what may piss a man off around here. Hell, Fingers left because of Budweiser. ;D

Well, THAT I can understand.  Budweiser IS the worst tasting, piss beer in the world.  ;) ;D

You should never drink piss, that's just wrong
It's all fun and games until someone gets hit by an Ignorant Cunt, an Asshole, or a Dickhead.  It's never good when body parts start flying around.   :-X  People come up missing on either end of the slinging.

There is only so much a person is willing to take.  Hopefully we'll see them again.

I used to Love Budweiser.  Isn't  that a German Beer?  Hard to get your Fingers around that one.
I think Howie would be secretly thrilled to know that we are thinking about him.

I really miss his threads though.  

The way he could make not-so-veiled references to politics and religion while proclaiming loudly that the threads were not about that?  Genius.  
His powers of suggestion--he managed to get us all listening to tons of different music suggested by each other, even if he never listened to any of the suggestions himself--and gave me a new appreciation for listening to music alphabetically.  
His ability to look at facts subjectively, while most of us are so limited to an objective reading of facts--again, genius.
Miss that guy.
I think I'll go listen to something from the letter "H" (at least, right after I finish with Mars Volta that is!).  Maybe some Hawkwind or Hoopy Frood...
I bet he misses the way you jump on his shit every chance you get, charger...

oh wait, you still do that even when he isn't here!
I bet he comes back after a good cry and claims he was on vacation and forgot to tell us.  ;)
I vote this thread gets deleted completely as it's far too negative and serves no purpose other than to alienate people. It started off with good intentions but then went south.
And now I understand Why Fingers was so ill with you.  You could have deleted the thread that you started.

This thread is not the issue that causes alienation.

I think that was somewhat different.  As I recall I simply stated that I had just drunk some Budweiser and for some reason Fingers took offence to that and then left.

This thread seems to have started out with DBM making a statement and then lots of others piling in to stick the boot into Howie for some reason.
I blame Budweiser...
RectoZilla — Feb 26, 2014I blame Budweiser...


;D
Hmm, I guess I didn't notice he was gone. Didn't he just recently post some shots of his new WIP music room? Would've liked to see some updates on that myself, maybe he's just taking a break? It's healthy.



taking things personally on the internet... a hard habit to break.
I really doubt that he's that sensitive. I vote we leave this thread up and keep it going. I think he'll laugh his ass off. :)
I'm still confused about Fingers leaving. He's been insulted way, way, better in the past around here and loved it. ;D ;D

I know, I've done it. ;D ;D
Saw DTR up in the list earlier, not sure why he's keeping mum.

I love Budweiser, not the beer, the company. I once worked in their brewery in Jacksonville Florida as a tile setter, employed by a subcontractor ML McDonald a Boston painting firm, best job I ever had in construction.

Everyone should buy Bud to pay Anheiser Busch for all the hours I got paid for doing nothing, not because I was lazy, it was the way the whole crew worked, I just followed the crowd. ;D
BINGEWOOD — Feb 27, 2014Saw DTR up in the list earlier, not sure why he's keeping mum.


If I am on his ignore list he probably does not see this thread. I should e-mail him. Maybe later.......
I e-mailed him, lets see what he says if anything.

I've hung out with Howie and I've jumped on his shit in person--he's a grown man, not a child.  He knows who I am, and I know he is.  I think he's being overly sensitive--but I also think there's a certain level of intolerance on the internet where people have grown less okay with the idea of interacting with each other if they don't agree politically or religiously.  

Eventually, we can either all have only friends who agree with us, and the schism in the country can grow and fester, or we can man up and be respectful of each other, even if we disagree... I've got lots of very conservative friends, and lots of friends far more liberal than me, and I've got no problem challenging them on anything, and expect the same from them.  I'm not going to run away because someone rightly or wrongly calls me a liberal, hippie, commie, whatever.  But it's a lot easier to only hear good things about yourself.

Be that as it may, it gets old seeing it when it doesn't seem like friendly banter anymore.  Howie didn't say anything to me about you.  This is specifically my observation.  Maybe its my own problem.  

Edited.  Fuck it.  There's enough negativity already

Holy crap that's sick!!!
Anyway, he was on today at around noon so I'm not too worried. He's just exiled himself from posting...
I e-mailed him and received a return, he is OK he is just taking a breather for a bit. It is all good between he and I he says, which is OK by me because I always liked him..
See. he's cool!

Can't blame him for needing a break. I needed them to when I was a die hard conservative.  ;D

Charger, and maybe some others around here, remember when Pick and Kev, and who could forget Stratman.... and all the guys were here and shit would be heated for months at a time? How about all those people, including myself, posting all those "take a break' goodbye's?  ;D ;D ..... only to be back posting in 1 or 2 days...  ;D

Now back then, it required a thick skin to even read the threads, much less be involved in the argument. And they straight up.... ended up being cuss each other, red hot arguments. Slamming the hell out of each other at times. But, when it was over, or on another thread, we may agreeing with each other on something. And, even though things got heated, and I took a shitload of heat back then, I never got really personally mad, kick ass, pissed the hell off..... 1 time with one person.

It's hard being a conservative.  ;)
Holy crap.  What's all the fuss about?  I didn't quit anything, I've just been busy finishing my music report.  I'm on "F" now.  This could take a while.
:D
;D ;D
Just so you know, may save you some time, I'm probably not gonna post till Sunday.  ;D ;D
you must have a really small, small, SMALL music collection!
