Also why do I run into people on here who are dicks when they can't help anymore? For example, the person will refer to the entire community rather than himself as a person, and then he'll resort to posting trollish pictures, or telling me to shut up.

Also sometimes whenever I turn a suggestion down. Instead of listening to my concerns and addressing them, the person will try to convince me to try the forum anyway.

I'd also like to understand why some people who say they can help, I find out that they are new to Baton Rouge, or don't play in the genre(s) I'm into or are not around the individuals I'm trying to reach, and then I'll run into people who just don't flat out want to help due to a little squabble that happened on the board in the past, and they just won't let that go. The person spreads it around the board, until everybody else knows about it, and pretty soon EVERYBODY is avoiding me.

Again, Crip2Nite! Please, answer my question regarding why I'm running into SO many jerks? Not just on here, but on almost every place that was claimed to be a good place for me to find a guy friend around my age who enjoys playing a wide variety of pop and soft rock music, but instead ran into a bunch of trolls and stuck and snooty rockers?

Why am I always the subject of ridicule or being made fun of, and ont top of that, why isn't there anyone on any of these places who was able to help me stand up to these people, and hit them where it hurts?

Again, I do NOT understand what those pictures are supposed to represent. and you are not handling this in a calm, respectful way. You are handling this like a 5 year old.

And that's another problem I've run into. People not being able to focus, and not being very smart when making decsions. For example, when I posted a printed ad at Guitar Center, no one had the curtesy to at least see if they couldn't make a copy of the ad, and then take that home with them, and respond to the ad when they were tied up with anything.

Instead, I get responses from people while they are late for work, or late for class, or while they are driving home or at work. Or I'll reach someone who claims they are interested, but the moment I try to get more information, or set up a chance to meet, the dude ends up blowing me off before I can do anything.

And it's also because of people like Crip2Nite, who resort to trolling instead of leaving well enough alone, that my topics are avoided. No one wants to wade through a topic with a bunch of ugly pictures posted that just completely creep out or that are just completely distracting. Not to mention, no one wants to wade through a topic where someone is trying to stand up to a bunch of people who are trolling him, but where those same individuals are really nice to one another and treat each other with respect.

If no one wants to help me at this time, I'll back away from this forum for awhile, and see if my profile will do the job, and maybe try posting a request at Guitar Center again.

Users will need to just let this topic get lost in the archives.

And someone please answer this question in general. I asked this before, but VinnyViolin started posting random pictures and just avoided it altogether. Why is it on any given message board I've been on, a person will pick one out of 100 different artists I enjoy listening to, and covering, and make fun of the fact that I like that artists body of music, and start looking up photos of the artist on the internet, or make a big deal about all the contraversial stuff the given artist has done, but they'll never make fun of the fact that I like an artist that is respected. For example, people on Baton Rouge Rocks poked fun at the fact that I liked Richard Marx, Madonna, Michael Jackson, or Adam Lambert, (and topic and on this forum Lady Gaga) but never poked fun at the fact that I like music by Whitney Houston, Rod Stewart, Kelly Clarkson, Bryan Adams, David Cook, 98 Degrees, NSync, Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood, Daughtry, Lifehouse, Heart, David Archuleta.

Again, though, it's always one, never ALL of them. Why is that? I'm just saying, if you are going to mess with me for liking one particular artist, you might as well go all out and mess with me for liking everything else.

If no one wants to help me at this time, I'll back away from this forum for awhile, and see if my profile will do the job, and maybe try posting a request at Guitar Center again.

Again, if all you are going to do is post for attention in this topic to "bump it" or keep it at the top you guys need to get a life. I am NOT coming back here. Well, maybe, but not to ask for anymore help, because you guys have made that clear, and all most of you guys such as VinnyViolin, and Crip2Nite want to do is just aggravate people, either that, or aggravate me, because you guys think you are so badass for some reason.

Guys like you shouldn't be allowed to use the internet if you are going to bully one person, but be nice to whole bunch of others who like the exact same music you like, and who have the exact same goals you have, and who love to show off just how much experience they have, instead of being humble individuals.


Again, it's because of people like the ones who just pooped all over me in this topic, and continue to do so even after I've said I'm going, that what few people who couldv'e helped are just away. You guys should show a little bit of shame.

I'll leave you guys to do whatever you wish with this topic, and leave you guys to think about what you guys have just done.

Again, I don't get it. You guys acuse me of having a parasitic personality, when YOU guys are the ones with such a personality. Why couldn't you guys have just minded your own business like the grown men you guys are?

For those who loved messing with me, I hope that you somehow get a taste of your own medicine and see how you like it when someone poops on your favorite music, and you need help with getting some information, and instead someone decides to ignore those questions or concerns you have regarding your search, and decides to give you the third degree and posts a bunch of pictures as responses to your questions. I may not have been able to get through to you, but I hope somebody does.

To the ones reading this topic who are above trolling, know that the things I posted in this topic were to stand up to these individuals. I'm the good guy here, and meant well with everything I said. Don't listen to them, and don't be afraid to contact me if you think you've discovered something that might help me out in my search.

Again, please let this topic get lost in the archives. It's been tainted by a bunch of trolls who thought it would be cool to trash me.

Again, these sites need to have better monitoring for trolls so that these things don't happen like they just did. I'm not angry or mad anymore. Just really dissappointed in all things I've seen on the internet with how people are always fighting. Whether it's on this board or on YouTube.

Again, read this and read it well. "I will not be responding to anymore posts within this topic". Let's see if that will stop you guys from posting strange pictures.

I bet you it won't because I've seen a lot of the same people here talk amongst themselves after I leave, continuing to make strange speculations about me, thus spreading rumors about me that are not true, which leak onto Google, then someone who's interested and responding to my Guitar Center post believes those rumors and doesn't contact me anymore.

(sarcastic voice) I hope you guys are proud of what you've done here. Good luck to you, and I truly wish you the best in life.
