First of all as a full disclosure; I don't post to the user showcase. I don't even use BiaB to make songs (I use it as a practice/learning tool for bass and guitar). Furthermore, as I'm in the middle of a particularly busy period at work, I barely even had the chance to boot up the program over the last couple of months.

That said, I still like to pop into the user showcase and play songs over my headphones while I work, and lurk the various discussion forums when I have an extra 15 minutes here and there.

To my great sadness and disappointment, I have seen some posts here which contribute absolutely zilch and seem to be solely intended to hurt, diminish, and eviscerate a huge segment of this community, and to suck every scintilla of the joy and sense-of-accomplishment of the good folks who take pleasure in the pursuit of music.

Granted, good points have been raised, and I am a huge proponent of free speech--up until the point it crosses the line into bullying.
As many have pointed out already, the User Showcase forum is not for soliciting critiques, otherwise it would likely be titled accordingly.

As such, I courteously request that the people posting here, who have a darkness they feel the need to render into text and post online, use the Band in a Box subreddit for such purposes.

Thanks in advance,

P.S. Just a thought: It might be a good idea for the admins/mods to create a "Critique my Song" sticky on the subreddit for those seeking such feedback.
