If this site is going to survive as a songwriting site, this stuff needs to go away and stay away, in the hopes, that some of the people who left will see the atmosphere as inviting and maybe return.

Excellent idea, Marty...
So, when are you leaving?
Again? O_o

If you agreed with that, there would be no argument going on here Tony.
You've accused me of wanting to grab attention. That is true enough regarding my songs and music related content that I post.
I think that is true of everyone here. That is why they came to a song site.

Yet...you want to change this site into your personal romper room, where you get to argue politics, evangelize end-of-the-world prophecies and rant about whatever impulse fires up within you.
None, music related, just Tony desires.
Of the two of us, which is more selfish?

People have left. Not because I told them to or "cancelled" anything, but because they dont like the argumentative atmosphere.

And look around, you created a thread for the exclusive purpose of attacking me. And you re-tread this just to set up another pointless argument. I wanted no interaction with you at all until you started trolling my atty thread.
It's Brian's site. Bringing order to it and stomping down on distractions that inevitably devolve into arguments seems very reasonable to me.

But if you can convince Brian that I've got it wrong and you offer more and should run free here, I might just give it up.
See what he says. I like having a place to put songs (without being attacked) but avoiding this site wont change my life any.

Lol... Now you're quoting each other! Careful Marty, your inner Dom is showing again laugh

Marty,
It's obvious that you and Dom have been at the center of every disagreement on this site (and other sites) for years...

However,

Dom is like a nip'ed up house cat chasing a lazer light right into rush hour traffic. He just can't seem to help himself...
But, YOU ARE THE INSTIGATOR! THE BUTTON PUSHER!
SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE'FUK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW!?

Do you really think this site needs another depressing "AI" thread!?
Or, are you just pretending to antagonize Dom so you can overpopulate forums with crap that discourages others from posting!?

I haven't done anything wrong, MartyDom. I don't have anything to hide or prove. I've always done what I'm supposed to be doing here; Engaging with other musicians about various subjects and writing songs. And my threads have produced plenty. Even THIS thread produced another song.

I think you should seriously consider... perhaps, people leave this place because of YOU.

No, MartyDom... I'm not going to gather my cancel culture friends and nag Brian the way you do.

I don't have to.

My conscience is clear.
