Pics or he didn't happen.
Excellent! Congratulations, Skitch.
I just got the weirdest e-mail from a guy who thinks I disrespected him when he was asking questions about his music gear, and I offered some advice.
He' been emailing stuff like this all morning. Going on and on about he's going to make it, and how I'm just a bedroom hobbyist. I swear - I'm a magnet for these kinds of people via Craigslist (how I originally met this guy). He got mad because I sold him a synth, but I told him that one of the buttons didn't work, and gave him a good price. He then tried to resell the synth for more than what he paid, claiming that everything worked perfectly. I called him out on it.
Anyhow, this is the last message he sent me:

Apology accepted but in the Midwest (a mindset, I will never compromise) an "I'm sorry" is just that. When you pepper on more after it, the messages looses sincerity. As an elder male you should know this. The whole "I'm sorry you feel that way" is text book SEATTLE. Either way I'll take it. The average male out here has trouble asserting himself and just can't help himself but succumb to his sweet sweet mistress/his muse: the passive aggressive princess inside him. An solid straight male tell you, it's either you're sorry or not, just don't do both. If you're gonna condescend own it. Yeah I'm aware I'm hitting hard and being a sick, but it's real and not in a forum.
Anyone can use what they want and feel free to ask questions. Drop the Internet nazi act, you know how you come off unless you have Asperger's syndrome. If that's the case you should be more aware how you come off.
up. I could teach you about being a man others can respect and along the way you could show me some midi tricks.
Once I say my piece I'm co, I get over shit quickly but I do address what I need to when the opportunity comes up.
I'll check out those albums, but mine has a small weird issue. If you plug in a chain of effects it won't work the first time you have to reset it and unplug the chain and reconnect it. Every time, I wish I could figure it but it's a weird quirk. It's a total dream machine but with my effects it's almost like a VA playing through a VA (overkill.) I'm using an Evebtide Pitchfactor & space, Strymon timeline & big sky as well as an earthquaker devices the warden compressor. Even just a small amount of one of those can be too digital. Tin City.
Once again watch your tone please:
"Another part of my advice was to not burn through instruments too quickly (something that most of the other posters in that forum agreed with). For instance, I've had the MS2000 and Microkorg"
You even talk shit about other users "posers".
No more condescending from you even if it's towards others, it's a foul habit if yours. I can do what I want. If you are man enough you are more than welcome to come into my home and tell me how to manage and how I approach my passion as well as tell how to use what with what. The offers in the table buddy, but I you gonna command the respect and make sure you okay that part.
I'm not one to shit laying on my back.
Are we clear or shall we set up a "Daniels way" lecture?
There's no wrong way to do bit if you want to force your way you can give it a try. I'm always up for a good laugh. If you want I can readjust that judgement seat if yours, it's a little too high for art.
I'm trying to ground you, but it's like you don't get it (Asperger's?).
Man, I would've shown you more respect all this time if I'd known you were an elder male.
D_Davis - always guilty of loosing sincerity.
Interesting how he keeps encouraging you to teach him how to play midi while harassing you. Oy vey.
I only skimmed that noise, but did he misread you saying "posters" on an Internet forum as "posers"? Please advise, Grand Elder Davis.
Yes
The most baffling thing is all the stuff about how males are supposed to act.
I just can't quite decipher what he means.
Also, for those of you from the midwest.
Is that normal.
:D
Is "I'm not one to shit laying on my back." a saying in the midwest?
I just don't know if I'm man enough to go into his home.
He sounds mentally ill. No aspersions... just saying he sounds ill.
Well, he is trying to sell a synth on Craigslist.Quote:

So wait, if I say "I'm sorry you feel that way," it means I'm not straight?
So then I ask him about his upcoming shows (because he said he had some, while I would never have any because all I do is sit in my room), and ask him about his music because I'd love to listen to it.
He responds:
Quote:
I'll let you know in one condition:You come correct or you don't come at all, I don't want any if your pompous bullshit at a show I'm playing, so if I invite you are to watch your mouth and be on your best behavior, understood?
Though something tells me you're not condescending or pompous to ones face or shit talk offline.
Mind your p's and q's and were good to coexist, trade, see shows or collaborate. As a man you know what's expected of you from me. If cannot follow those guidelines it's best we part ways. At this time I'm sure you know what I'm all about as far as conduct goes.
Quote:
I would have told you if you didn't flake. Remember you didn't tell me in the email either you waited to see if if I was interested first.Alright Daniel you've told how to do things for the last fucking time. I'm adamant that we meet so you can tell what to do and how to conduct myself face to face. You're big bad wolf doesn't hold a candle to mine, you're all "Internet."
Nothing will be supplied information wise until you aknowledged what I said about telling you about any upcoming shows.
Got me?
Do you seriously have Asperger's?
Quote:
2014 a new year brings new change. I'm you're new self appointed life coach since you cannot pick up on cues and insist on telling others to do things your way. Don't ever fucking tell me how to do what I do again. Are we fucking clear?
Quote:
Do you understand why I didn't release any information? (Please answer this question, so I know you have half a fucking brain.)It's because I don't want your bullshit near my projects, someone sets a boundary and you can't help but run that mouth of yours.
Please tell me what I expect from you and how you will conduct yourself around me, since you are too chicken shit to flap your gums at me in person.
Quote:
so for the final time (I swear I've asked at least four times), level with me: do you have Asperger's? That would explain a lot and curb my patience with you.
Think I should trade gear with him? LOL! :DQuote:
Is it clear that I don't trust your jaws enough to invite you out?I'm trying to gauge if you're all Internet or would tell me what to do in person or all Asperger's. Until then I'll trade gear with you if it comes up. I think we should make that trade now. I'm curious as to how you'll conduct yourself. If you'll make it easy or run your gums.
I asked him to stop emailing me because I didn't understand his anger, to which he replied:
Quote:
Who said I was angry? Did I say that? No! I did not and I am not. I swore because asking you nicely was too repetitious so I had to be more assertive with my requests, tried that and I didn't get through. So technically I had to be aggressive because you weren't "getting it (the point)" again I could be wrong (Asperger's?)
But do you have Asperger's tho?
I don't think so.Quote:

Mind your p's and q's and we're good to coexist.
Sounds like a death threat to me.
Call his bluff.
1. Write another short response to him.
2. Before sending, swap all your p's with q's and all your q's with p's.
3. Send.
4. []
LOL!
Davis I think you are dealing with a crazy person.
He totally wants to have sex with you.
