O-10, my father would often say: "some people are not simply s&@?!d; they are, first and foremost, mean spirited".
I could waste my time even further by asking what on earth I wrote that is fundamentally different from what you wrote; I won’t bother. I could also ask you why, if you knew the answer (or so you think) why you bothered asking the question. I won’t bother with that either; the answer goes to my father’s wise words. You are so pathetically intent on somehow proving me wrong about anything that, as always, you see only what you want to see. As always, no comment about the music. Shame on me for taking the bait.
O-10, this last episode is the last straw for me. Not as far as my participation in this thread, you can’t control that; but, as far as my holding back about what I really think because I believe you are doing the participants and anyone new to the music a disservice by your insistence on keeping things in the gutter. That you know very little about the music and its language has been obvious and proudly admitted by you. The really bizarre part of all this is that I believe that, just as with your claims to have seen Coltrane live and which you later admitted were "exaggerations", you are making all of this stuff up. I don’t believe there was any jazz playing friend, no encounters with Grant Green, no nothing; all made up by a need to .....who knows? Shame on you.
