ROXY - In Defense of Myself
Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2018 9:14 pm
Hi gang,
Some really nasty things have occurred here in the past few weeks.
A culmination of those events has led to a final post by Spogg, copied and pasted below.
"Final", because Spogg has locked the thread, leaving me unable to defend myself.
Here's the post, and my defense below it.

For those not aware of the history of posts to this topic, this won’t make much sense now, so please ignore!
@Roxy: You need to know that tulamide has been a valuable and valued member of this group for over 4 years, during which time he has genuinely helped me, and many others, and his technical and programming knowledge and capabilities are highly respected. If you need a recent example, take a look at the arpeggiator in Adam’s Viper synth.
If he corrects me, and he has, I’ve come to know for sure that I needed correcting and benefitted from it. That goes for several other regulars here too, like Adam.
If I see even a hint of something like your previous reaction to Adam’s post, where you did in fact “draw first blood” you will be banned. If I have to choose between having you or tulamide contributing here I will choose the one who has offered so much useful and accurate stuff so far.
@tulamide: I hope you will consider joining in again soon.
This topic is now locked and I’ll let BobF know. I’ve deleted quite a few posts before locking so I hope it still hangs together.

That's the post, aimed directly at me, ROXY.
To begin with, it seems like tulamide is what I figured, a well respected person here on the forums.
His 'technical' knowledge is praised, fine.
I can assure you that his 'technical' knowledge is not what you think it is, and I have posted several links correcting him, for the benefit of all.
A reference is made about my reaction to Adam's post, where he tore into me for no reason.
I defended myself and now I'm accused of drawing first blood.
Since Spogg has closed the topic and deleted many posts, I stand accused with no proof and no chance to defend myself. (The situation with Adam and myself has resolved itself, by the way.)
Spogg, you seem concerned about my 'reaction' to Adam, but you don't mention tulamide's last post where he reserves the right to use whatever obscene language he wishes, and even accuses you of 'siding' with me, etc.
For the record, I have a copy of his last post, and it is, as you recall, a horrible and hateful post, shamelessly breaking some of the guidelines you posted for us several days ago.
But if tulamide has that much sway around here, so be it.
I'm not leaving, I have many friends here, and I will continue to build projects.
If you think I don't carry much weight, check out my youtube page, play down my 29 music clips and 2 films, then decide for yourself. Here's a handy link to get you there.

If you'd like to know more about what I've done in commercial broadcast, read about it here under "MSG MetroLearning Center", where we set the defacto standard for educational call-in television. Not only was I the production designer, but most of the channel's music (Including the Channel I.D.) was composed, arranged, produced by me at my studio, "Studio 'A' Nonlinear".
We had an 11 year run, that's some serious airtime for my music as well !
"Production Designer", by the way, is the same as "Art Director", every creative aspect of the channel was my responsibility.
Here's the link if you're interested.

So if you feel the need to embrace tulamide and push me to the curb if I get attacked and defend myself again, so be it.
You're the moderator.
But at least you know that I'm not some rube who fell off the potato truck.
Remember, I get along with everyone here except tulamide, who left once before because of issues like this with other people. (My guess is that somebody else made the 'mistake' of correcting him or otherwise standing up to his abuse.)
Everything was fine until he returned, and the problems started again.
Think about it, maybe it's not me.
Respectfully,
William L. Palminteri, ROXY
