Was it insulting? Notice I never commented on that?
I won't because I don't see the importance of whether it is. I don't mean to minimize your own feelings about it. They are what they are.
What I do mean is to get you to ask yourselves whether it's really important enough to worry about.
People say a lot of weird things, especially behind the guise of a pseudonym over the Internet. I myself have reacted (I know you didn't and doing this is better than that) to what I thought were nasty postings and emails, only to eventually find out the sender never really meant any malice.
Maybe the guy was just having a bad day. Maybe he was joking (I know a lot of people who complain all the time that no one gets their humor). Who knows?
The real point is, YOUR MUSIC.
If it were me, I would just concentrate my efforts there. Not everyone likes what I do either, and some can be downright rude. It comes with the territory.
Every minute you spend reading and replying here is another minute your not writing or promoting your own stuff.
Is it really worth it?
I know. What am I doing here then?
That's easy for me to answer. Who I am has as much to do with my music as the songs themselves. Posting here is just another way to "put myself out there." What I've written here is how I would deal with the same situation. It's who I am.
It may not be who you are, but maybe you ought to think about it.
Like I said, I used to be the same. It took a lot of focus and effort, but I managed to change because I'd rather just be being me than worrying about what or who every individual thinks I am.
From everything I've ever seen, the people who make it the furthest in any business are the ones who don't pay any attention to stuff like that. Even better are the ones who never respond in kind, unless their in comedy of the crasser styles, which is what they do - everybody expects it.
But is that what you're about? If not, ignore it and write your next song. If it is, then go write a song about it!
I wish you would! I'd like to hear more!
Cheers.

, thought we'd help "end" this enlightening-yet archaic thread and open up some space for more worth-while topics to discuss
