Kris,

I'm glad to see you at least admit your ob/com/anal behaviour is "annoying", "academic" and "pompous".  But it's "nothing personal".  You don't expect that these self-described actions might elicit responses in and of themselves??? Again, I'm talking about the difference between hanging with friends here and feeling like it's a freakin' courtroom.  You want to be the seargeant at arms and call rules of order, cite quotations to prove your case etc. It's f-ing getting old man. Wake up dude. I realize you're a festival promoter and have done some insanely generous work for this community but you could also do yourself and the rest of us a real favor by moderating your self-described (above and below) style. Sincerly Kris, I won't be around here much to bother you with this kind of crap anyway.  -m

How can myself and so many others be so inaccurate?  The stats speak for themselves.  You're awesome dude.  How does it feel to be on-the-money so consistently?  -m

 

I totally admit that I am one of the most obsessively/compulsively analytical posters on this group (and Rick knows why), and it has annoyed many a poster. I also fully admit that my writing style comes across as very academic and, shall I say, sometimes pompous?  Yes. That is how I write,

But why Kris, why??? 

but none of it is personal. I take things very literally, and I get very irrated when people take one thing I say and then twist it into something else that is easy to refute. It's like a petty version of slander.   Somtimes people take a very litteral post, and then try to read between the lines and extrapolate something entirely different.  That is all good, but it doesn't serve as a basis to dispute the literal point. 

 

It's like I say X, and the next thing I know, someone is saying I said Y, and then refuting Y and getting all bent out of shape over Y.  That's fine, but I never said Y, and half of the time, I don't know a single person who would actually maintain Y because it is so obvious (like saying mechanics is more important than art)....for cripes sake, I am a director of a festival that is 100% about art, so I think I understand this point.  I loath Y! So, let's get back X.
