I just call it as I see it Nedim, you know that. It's not personal (well maybe with RS, but NOT you).
Hey Dennis,

I didn't know there was any personal animosity between us until now. I was very disappointed at your two attacks towards me, especially when I have done my best to be of assistance towards you in the past. OK I may not be the worlds best music critic, I never pretended otherwise.

If you look at the timing of our two posts, less than 3 minutes apart, I can not possibly have read your post and then responded to it. In fact we were both writing independently and posted at the same time. Of course I don't agree with your rather critical comments now that I have read them, but you are entitled to your view and I would never send you the sort of nasty remarks you sent me just because I disagree with you.

I have constantly pushed and supported initiatives from anyone to develop new sounds and styles for the Pa keyboard series. I launched a competition last year with almost $1000 in prizes which no-one apart from Rikki entered.

So when Nedim decided to develop "recording studio quality" styles I was absolutely delighted, and I genuinely believe that his styles are as good as, or even better than the factory styles. I have said in previous posts what I think about the market and pricing for styles, I think they are rather expensive, and Nedim does not agree with me, so that is fine it's his business.

I don't think anything I said was inconsistent with my previous charitable activities in supporting users of the Pa keyboards. I would not be spending hundreds and hundreds of hours working on videos to sell at cost price if I had any other motives.

I have not met Nedim, I have no commercial interest in his activities, I think he is charging too much, but I do respect him for the knowledge and skill he has as a musician and recording artist, and I am most grateful that he decides to stick around on the forum despite the lack of appreciation that other people show towards him.

Regards,
Rob

I thought the post of Dennis was way out of line. He is entitled to his opinion, but he needs to respect you. There was no respect in his post.

I agree that respect is the way to go. Personally I appreciate all the efforts and post by Nedim and Rob and the many others like them.
I would not spend my time reading everyday otherwise. Thank you guys for your time and efforts...it is appreciated.

Rob you only need to look at a recent issue to know where it comes from.

I will not be dissed by anyone, ESPECIALLY after I have gone out of my way (over a couple of hours) to help someone.


And as for my comment on this thread, THAT reply wasn't nasty. If you want nasty I can do that too.

And contrary to those who comment there was no respect, well they do not know what they are talking about, apart from some sense of chivalry and fair play?

The greatest "respect" you can give someone is to be open and honest, not hide behind platitudes and create "white lies" to assuage egos.

I respected your opinion, I however disagreed with both the text and tenor of your comments. Simple as that.

Dennis,

I don't know what the hell you are talking about, however I stopped caring about it at this point. You've had your chance to apologise and you just blew it. I hope the psychiatrists can help you.

Nothing to apologise for. I disagreed with your comments. I didn't call you anything, I didn't impugn your character, I simply disagreed..Thats an end to it.

And to play some silly game where I have a time limit to apologise..Please, give me a break!! I left those games on the schoolyard.

Psychiatrists might be good, THOSE guys can give you some good drugs!!

Stick a fork in me.....

No Dennis, if you think that saying the following things to me is a simple disagreement without calling me names or impugning my character then you are sadly mistaken ...

From what you said, there were the following impunging references to my evident lack of character:

a) You accused me of naiivety, seeing things through rose coloured glasses
b) You accused me of having a non-objective bias towards Nedim/Basaristudios
c) You were extremely sarcastic and scathing towards a message I posted
d) You said in public that this may be a personal attack towards me

How the hell can you say these things about someone who has in the past been courteous and supportive towards you. And then having said those things, how can you believe that you "simply disagreed" ? This is not a "simple disagreement". It is open hostility that has caught me completely by surprise.

Your manner and failure to recognise how offensive you have become is similar to someone having a schizophrenic breakdown and who has lost a grip on reality. That you cannot recognise this is also a symptom of severe depressive illness. I mean it kindly when I say that you need help.

Regards,
Rob

Nedim,
I understand...It's equally hard for me to go for hard core music when I mostly do the slower romantic stuff. :-)

When I use a style, I want it to accompany me not be the performance. That said, there is a few of your styes I can still use for my stuff...and they all are cool for sure and well done.

If you want to hear a sample of more what Iam into, listen to the Orchestal piano ballad Rikki just gave us.

Thanks Man,
Lee

Oh dear oh dear...I mean what else can I say..

It is fortunate I am an amenable person, otherwise I might react in the same way as you have just demonstrated.

Perhaps you should take pause to reflect on your comments, and how they seem to be exactly as you have accused mine of being. (a false accusation as far as I am concerned).

I might refresh you memory that I went out of my way to help you a week or so ago, spent a couple of hours tracking down information for you, and all you did was imply that I didn't really have the information in the first place (almost like you accused me of making it up, WHY i would do that is beyond this schizoid person))...
You didn't get the result YOU wanted so you then totally dissed the thread.

And then ages ago you wrote me an email at the time you were having open hostility with Korg, to say you may well have done something you might regret and had you done the right thing etc etc..

Well, I replied to your email in very supportive terms, and you totally ignored it.

In fact the first and only email I have had from you was this morning to deride me for making the post on the forum.

So you wonder why I am a bit annoyed at you. But my annoyances usually only last as long as this day's sun. I always move on. Nothing to be gained from what has gone. Only to try and remember to not let it happen again.

I give Nedim full credit for taking my comments on the chin.

He didn't like them but he understood it was JUST my opinion. I do not see the histrionics coming from him.
I get no private emails from him abusing me for making comments on a public forum....

Your most recent post is uncalled for, unwarranted and up until this post, not one I would have thought you capable of.

A misjudgement on my part, that won't happen again.

This is enough on both sides, lets move on. As for the comments, i have to
accept them cuz i asked for it and i expected it. There is people that dont like it,
there is people that already ordered the first night they came out, there is people
that told me what to fix and also there is people that are amazed by the styles.
And tats exactly what i wanted, to mix all of this things into one and next time
make something better, as i always say, if we are all the same then there is no
no need for discussion and forums.
Denis, you were a bit Loaded (not as drunk) but you know what i mean.

Hi Nedim,

Yes I agree, time to move on.

And yes I agree, it was a bit loaded ( I do know what you mean :))

Perhaps my syntax could have been a little less confronting, certainly wasn't meant to be as confronting as it reads back.

Oh well, once it's said it's there. I cannot change it.

Thanks,

Dennis
