first of all I would like to share anyone with a different option is welcomed. we are all intelligent human beings and stimulating conversation is what this forum has always been about. when someone becomes offensive and starts trying to annoy people with a motive is where and where I will step in. honestly I think in 7 years / 2 being being a moderator and an admin for the past 5.. in all those years, we've only banned like 3 people. * also it's just a temporary ban. Also to add, I personally had very close friends stop posting here due to child like antics and people like him, which is another reason that will not be tolerated.

to me that's like saying you broke up with your girlfriend because she wore yellow on a tuesday. no. you broke up with her since you wanted to break up with her and used her wearing a yellow shirt as a reason to do so. all along you wanted to break ties. so to me.. I would guess you didn't want to not play vinyl any longer and have somehow choose others as an e scapegoat to be unaccountable for your own actions. you let other people you don't know, and have never met, influence how you express yourself..

I think that is sad actually.

are you that impressionable? do you always "blame" other people for your actions..
playing on vinyl is an expression. in my personal opinion : it's culture. If you choose to not express yourself via vinyl then it's simply personal preference. *it's the easy thing to do. but to say people on a music forum made you not support the artist and label to the fullest by buying vinyl.. that is choice.
also ::: I specifically made a vinyl only thread in our mix section in a sense to give more niche marketing to those that choose not to play mp3's.. the extra effort to collect and play vinyl should be noticed and also just simply having fun with a concept and trying to utilize the boards options for maximum exposure to it's users.. now that I remember... some guy named Chris got all upset and "threaten" not to post here anymore... haha. all this is just completely ridiculous is in an effort to (try) to have fun and preserve vinyl based on it's culture and give more artist niche exposure.. I don't get it.. people lack balance in their own life and try to blame others for their own actions : cookie cutter.
I don't think your previous post was offensive and thank you for taking the time to respond to that. it's appreciated.
p.s. here is a chart to reference my comment that I removed about vinyl sales being up.
carry on.
