I don't know what you have against Hammondman, but you shouldn't have directed that comment directly towards him:
........
I've noticed that you come down on Hammondman alot by critizing many of the things that He does. You're new, so you don't know that this site used to be on another site before it moved here and just maybe you shouldn't make comments directed towards Hammondman such as, "stop giving them the chords, explain things to them" without knowing that Hammondman, Lisa, Sam, and Mysteryman, myself and many other have been helping others by teaching, providing midis and chords since 1998 on various other gospel board before this site even exisited.
As a "moderator, I feel it is quite necessary to respond here,
When
mjfeltnerjr stated
"Good post Hammondman because there are some people on the site who don't understand how you post chords", I saw a compliment followed by what could have been perceived as a put down. But, giving the benefit of the doubt, yhe statement
"some who don't understand your post" could possibly mean that some do not understand the symbols, abbreviations, etc., especially if that someone is new gospel boards.
Firstly, Longfingers, I believe if Hammondman has a problem with what was stated here he will speak for himself, and/or one of the designated moderators will say something. If one of us did not address the issue, than perhaps it need not to be addressed. If you had a problem with the brother, you should have pm him only, not post comments and pm.
Longfingers, before you start pointing the finger at someone, remember there are three fingers pointing back at you.
You too have said some "blunt" things that we have let go. For example when that person posted chords for the first time in the gospel music lounge, you were quick to tell him he was wrong for placing a post there. Daryl nor the appointed moderators had a problem with the post, especially since it was not a "big deal", but you took it upon yourself to let that person know they had did something wrong, and had not followed the rules. Why be negative on a person's first post?
And when a person ask for chords, over and over again, you direct them to purchasing the book. While it is good to tell folks that the music is available on sheet music....well let me put it like this.....it's not WHAT you are saying, it's HOW MUCH you are saying it. We heard you the 30th time.
I do aqree that the chord hogs should invest in themselves and further their music education. But their requests tells me that if they are asking for the chords, they probably cannot read music. As I stated, I believe they should do everything to help themselves, but you have to realize that some are not there yet. If you are not going to give the chords, just don't answer the post.
Now I am not in no form or fashion "telling you off". I am publicly making this statement because you "publicly" made yours. I hope you receive this in love.
