I was recently called out on Twitter about this thread. Suffice to say, back in the late 90's through early 2000's, I expressed a profoundly ill-advised selection of roundly ill-advised, insensitive and objectionable comments here, usually couched within the frequently missed understanding that I should not be taken so deathly seriously.

Some people may have gleaned as much, but others did not. It is certainly not a a testament to my abilities to convey my genuine points that my venom and bluster was so routinely taken at face value. Moreover, I was probably frequently inconsiderate, unthinking and impulsive about the things I contributed here.

In short, I was a callously unthinking dick quite a lot of the time. Having big opinions about things shouldn't give one license to behave like I did, and I was out of line on more than a few occasions, this thread being just one of them.

In any case, I believe I penned a mea culpa on my blog some years ago to the same effect but it bears repeating. I am sorry. I did not mean any harm. I was foolish and stupid. I sincerely apologize to Ultrragrrl, Scout Niblett and any number of other targets i singled out for spleen-venting.

I regret it all.

"I expressed a profoundly ill-advised selection of roundly ill-advised.."

Awful.

One more thing on this: i used to blithely suggest that no one's day should be ruined by something they read on a public forum about music, as if that was some shiny badge that enabled me to be callous, boorish, pig-headed and insulting. Well, that's a pile of crap, and I again apologize. Regardless of the subject matter of a discussion, there's never an excuse for being a belittling jerk. I was and am that jerk, and I apologize again.
