Now, just four posts in, suddenly we're no longer talking about the Bee Gees and the subject of that innovative Bass Line. We're suddenly discussing bad manners. Would that be right?

Please feel free to start a separate thread on the subject of bad manners (including capitalized shouting if required). It would be great to just keep a focus on Songwriting in this particular thread. Thanks.


Oh dear,
A post including video was made.
There were no caveats, no directions in how to respond and no context other than the click bait title of the video.
I commented on the presentation in the video.
I made it clear that the caps were bad manners & borrowed for the purposes of illustration &, let's face it, they are the better means of communicating the thing I was referring to.
I commented on the bass line and how it may have been less innovative than creatively accumulated.
(Maurice is the oft forgotten brother but his contributions were usually wonderful).
Now, in your way, you're upset that someone has entered the discussion without a "by your leave" and without consulting the Implied AudioTrack, (P.A.F.), style guide.
Now, five posts in you've retrospectively applied you passive aggressive shut down of any whiff of dissent from your received wisdom.
Could it be that the video maker was simply pumping the bass line to make "content" and using click bait titles to attract commentary?
Would the video maker be upset with discussion & debate, (that's what the comments section is for and the more debate the better their algorithmic response)?
Why are you so profoundly displeased by anything but agreement?
Is cognitive dissonance at play?
I commented upon his presentation, you commented upon mine & now I comment upon yours.
Should the circle be unbroken?
These are matters I'll not bother pondering.

or, perhaps, 1973
