United States

Are you a retired dude or something? Why do you have so much time to spend searching random pictures on the internet to troll me with?

That time could be spent talking to someone who shares your music interests, and I could be spending my time talking to a few individuals who can help me learn about some bands in the BR area that play pop and soft rock music, or learn about some other sites similar to this with a much more active community, and one that's a lot nicer, and actually make some decent progress in my search.

hardcore rocker musicians who are only interested in doing gigs and getting paid to play in bands, and who want to get into music to live the "rocker" lifestyle, and go to parties to get drunk, or get girls,.

ummmm..... and your complaint is???

I need some pointers on how to reach the opposite of that. Have you even bothered to thoroughly go over my post and show be considerate when responding? Because whenever I talk to someone on here, or on Baton Rouge Rocks, or Craigslist, the person responding gives the impression that he just skimmed over the post or is overwhelmed by all the information, and is rushing to type up his own response.

Have you tried dressing up like Michael Jackson, with a white glove on one hand, and hanging around the restrooms at the Greyhound station?

See? This is what I'm talking about! That is pathetic and you know it. Stop turning everything into a sick joke! It's NOT cute or funny!

You are wasting my time by doing that, when I could be spending quality time talking to someone who is much more down to earth, and respectful of others.

Remember, sir, I'm looking for a guy who is a talented keyboard player in his 20s, and has a passion for playing a variety of pop and soft rock music, 80s to the present, and in addition to jamming to some great pop and soft rock songs, I'm looking for someone who has a good solid understanding of music theory, and has a good recording and mixing studio setup at his apartment or house. And thus someone who as a best firned, can show me how to recreate some of my favorite electronic based music tracks, and others.

The method you suggest is just ridiculous, and I would reach the wrong audience. I would reach a bunch of shady characters who probably can't even play a lick of music.

Honestly, sir, I am a bit disappointed in you.

I had thought you were above resorting to the sort of disparaging stereotype that you have cast here upon the patrons of our mass transit system.

You boldly assert that people who ride the bus are inherently "shady characters who probably can't even play a lick of music"? There happen to be many great musicians that have traveled by bus, often with their entire band! Also people who suffer an impairment of vision that would prevent them from driving will often ride a bus. Many fine citizens ride the bus.

If you really feel the average people who ride public transit are too far beneath your dignity to associate with ...
.... then maybe you could try dressing up like Michael Jackson, with a white glove on one hand, and hanging around the restrooms at the Baton Rouge Hilton.

Or do you just have a problem with people who have to use the restroom?

See? There's yet another troll! What is up with all these assholes?

I mean, really. I cannot accomplish anything with all these trolls ganging up on me. Making fun of my favorite artists, posting a bunch of ugly pictures by the dozen, making a big deal out of something I stated in an earlier post and changing it to say something else to make me look bad, among many, many other things.

How am I supposed to get anything done anywhere, if I have to keep standing up to a bunch of trolls and bullies. And on top of that, why are all the people who do troll me or bully me in their middle age? Guys who should be much more conservative, and already have a lot of other stuff on their plate to deal with as is?

Um, you already posted that picture. This is not fun, and you are just going for a cheap laugh.

Not that crap again! Come on, why are you messing with me? Talk to me, so I can get a better idea of what's going on. Why are my posts getting bombarded by a lot of screwed up individuals, as opposed to individuals who are smart enough to review my profile, and who are relaxed, and calm individuals.

Did I say something offensive to you guys? Help me understand why I keep reaching a bunch of trolls, even when I'm honest about who I am.

Again. Why do you waste your time acting like you are 5? Why can't I reach individuals who know better than to do what you guys are doing?

And oddly enough, these same people who troll me are usually very nice to a majority of the other members of a given message board.

The only places where I'm not treated like a troll are places that are not directly related to searching for musicians, and where I take a much more reserved approach to such as YouTube comments, Adamofficial.com, and Dreamviews.

But whenever I go on a music site, and try to learn about other good quality casual musician connection sites, and whatnot, my posts and ads are bombarded by people who aren't very smart, and who have lots of issues, or a bunch of people who just see it as a big joke.

And before you know it, several of my topics on the board are just pure train wrecks because of that. This has only happened on two music sites though. Baton Rouge Rocks, and this site.

And I am very dissappointed in the way people act on this site. Why? Because this was reccommended to me as the "go to place" whenever I was talking to people through Baton Rouge Rocks, and e-mailed a few individuals on Craigslist.

What is up with all these assholes?

I'll bet that's what you say to all the guys, when standing in the middle of a restroom wearing that white glove on one hand!

Again! What is the deal with all these stereotypical views of being gay? Why do most guys always assume that all gays love butts or seek sexual relations? Just because someone is gay that doesn't mean he wants a boyfriend, or wants to have sex with another guy.

Also why does EVERYONE have to turn everything into a sick joke? Why isn't there enough people on here who can stand up to all of these trolls, and do something to hit them where it hurts, so they will stop messing with me.

And what is with the Michael Jackson obsession. I am not like him in any way. Also in the earlier post you quoted from me, I was referring to some of the shady bars within my area and the individuals that attend those bars. I don't feel comfortable at those places, due to the low level lighting, and all the drinking going on there.

I would feel so much more at home being a part of an intimate music community hosted at a college.
