Then you created a fake song



Actually Bob, the song wasn't anymore "fake" than any other song posted on the User Showcase. I wrote it! It was REAL, just real bad.

Then your post takes a lot of time explaining things I already explained and judging me negatively. Now you have let everyone know that Bobcflatpicker is a much better Cyber Citizen than PRearden! So be it.

As to my actions being a "social experiment". True enough. Didn't I say that somewhere?

and got the “side benefit” of making them your “family joke”.



This is where you are VERY wrong. My "family joke" is the song 'Camaro 1974'. It is so over the top (and so very bad) that it IS funny. I have said repeatedly that the ppl who posted responses were very kind.

BTW: You charged me with criticizing "forum members". This is not true either. I was criticizing the "Mutual Admiration Society" that appears to be present in the 'User Showcase' (which has gotten slightly better since the original discussion). Semantics, I know.

After doing all of that, can you honestly say you feel justified in quoting rule numbers and slamming Notes Norton for mentioning his products and talking about MIDI ???

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that your answer would be yes



Good guess.

Right again, you are on a roll. You go Bob!

But, you know, you have effectively hijacked this thread with personal attacks. My point was on topic as it was apparent that the OP was an advertisement.

You seem like a decent guy, you must have better things to do. There are real social ills you could use that energy toward solving.
