LG;
I have responded to your post about receiving offensive email
here. It is my sincere hope that no one in our group would be sending you offensive email; it is simply not acceptable within the context of our group.
That said, your behaviour here also appears to be straining the bounds of acceptability. For instance, I would appreciate it if you would edit your profile. As mentioned in my post cited above, anything posted here should be considered to be in the context of the Wickersham household and the household of every member here. It is indeed the case that some members like to sit in front of their computers with family members, including children, and show them the pictures of the beautiful basses and guitars, and share with them some of the stories that we tell each other. This is a family forum. Some members here are school age, teenagers learning to play music. Some are women. Some are mothers. Some are grandparents.
Members of this forum occasionally go over the line of what I think of as acceptable for our group. And from time to time I try to gently let them know when I think so. I am not the morals police. But I am the moderator of the Alembic group; and in that position I have a responsibility to the Wickershams, the employees of Alembic, the members of this forum, and any one else who happens to stumble across the website and read what's written here.
As mentioned in my post about the offensive email, if you haven't read the posting guidelines, please do. I think they reasonably attempt to outline an atmosphere amenable to all and conducive to the exchange of ideas among people from all over the world.
I hope you do not find my attempts to ameliorate the tenor of discussion here overly constraining. If you do take exception, please do so by email. My goal here is to be helpful to everyone and certainly not to cause anyone discomfort or harm. As moderator I am trying to act in the best interest of the group.
Now my dinner has probably burned. I'm off to the kitchen to see what can be salvaged.
