Just admit I'm rarely rude to people in their threads and am not quick to name-calling or other similar behavior. Start with an accurate recognition of me as a person, and theoretically productive dialogue could result.

Really? Because technical changes are something we have no ability to do anything about. I think you're far more likely to to see us heeding or having conversations about non-technical changes, as evidenced by this very thread.
Those conversations might go on longer, but they don't seem to lead anywhere.

I think you're wrong on both counts there. We're always open to improve things. And I have no idea why you think I personally am not "happy with the caliber of MB's music discussion", but I assure you that's not the case. There's always room for improvement of course, but if I didn't like this place I wouldn't be here.
Weren't you just complaining about "standards"? Oops, no, that was the other guy.

For the umpteenth time: if you feel this way stop spending all your time complaining and put some effort into starting the kinds of music conversations you'd like to see.
I already tried that. It did not get the reaction I wanted, and I might as well protest by doing less, heading away from "active member" status. At this point, I am waiting for moderators to show they are willing to change their behavior and drag others along with them. I haven't seen consideration of any facets of that. For example, the very relevant closure-related idea of an apolegetic tone in some circumstances was ridiculed.

Edit: well, Ki, I disagree that the misbehavior is all mine, but if you want to advocate the "tone" idea, go for it, while I head to the sidelines.
