When backup gear really isn't suitable

lol…from the guy who’s been suspended from just about every forum for being rude at one time or another.
I’m sorry you think trying to be kind is a weakness. I hope some day you’ll figure it out before it’s too late.
Yes, I have tons of friends. I will always welcome more. I do believe earning the respect of others is a worthwhile goal.
New award being handed out at the annual ODJT awards ceremony, who besides myself is in the running?
Good grief..

When is the last time any of you seen Bob give someone on here a compliment?
We may have stumbled upon your issue. You believe the only reason anyone would desire friendship is emotional support.
I’m going to Europe in a few weeks. I’ll be seeking a lot of emotional support from the new people I’m going to meet
Most people come groups like this to meet people, to learn, make friends, and maybe offer some advice once in a while.
I’m not sure what the point of coming to a group like this to remind people “ Hey in case anyone has forgotten, I’m just not a nice person “

, . . . did someone ask? I must have missed that post.
Desire friendship? Seriously? Try Match.com
I'm not your friend, Scotty. It's a website full of opinion - not a help line.
Grow up. Agreement is not necessary.

See? We do agree on some things

Most people eventually figure out how to offer an opinion and/or disagree without routinely being rude.
Apparently, not all
Who said we have to agree with what someone post on here? Sometimes people on here are right and sometimes they are wrong. That happends. Nobody is perfect. The issue is you don't ever want to admit when you're wrong. Your attitude is if you don't do things the way I say you're not doing things right. That's the reason I have a problem with you and your posts.
Let's get this train back on the track. It's nice to have backup gear and you should because you never know when something might fail on you. It's really important that you have backup gear that will work the way it's supposed to. That requires that you have the right backup gear and know what to do with it to get it to work properly. If you don't have the proper backup gear it won't matter what it is because it won't work if needed. That's it in a nutshell shell.
No I shouldn't.
Oversharing is not friendly, it's invasive.
That's why saying no evokes immediate disdain from people who do it.
The thread title is Backup Gear.
Do I need to know anyone's travel plans?
Do I need to hear stories about their ex-wife?
These are not magnets for friendship, just emotional phishing and dumping.
Patently unprofessional.
Please find that quote for us Mix.
When you can't - admit that it's bulls** Your own emotional baggage.
My position was clearly stated that "I" would not have accepted either gig, or that "I" would not rely on batteries or cell phones.
My choices, and my rationale - they differ while speaking nothing to your own choices.
I freelance all the time for people who do things differently. Their gig, their choice.
At my own gigs my choices are informed by my experience and technical comfort - not your approval seeking.
Ok you wouldn't have done either one of those events and you stated why. That's fine. What you didn't need to do is put the person down who did those events and how they did them. You love to put others down if they are not doing things the way you do. You love to flex your ego so people know that you're DJ God and that means you're beneath me.
Routinely talking down to people has never been professional. It’s just been patently rude.
The only disdain you experience is when you are rude.
For years, you’ve pretended it’s just because someone has a different opinion than you. It’s not. Not even close. Plenty of opinions are offered. People often disagree. People do want to know what you think, even when it’s different than what they think. Smart people do want to hear different opinions. They just don’t want to be talked down to. You often have trouble avoiding doing that.
I do understand friendship is a foreign concept to you. You’ve made that very clear since you’ve been here. Friendship means you need to care about others and what’s important to them.
I enjoy hearing what people are up to. I’ve come to know a lot about some people here and enjoy hearing about other things they do. Because I care about them. Sharing, caring, and listening is not invasive. Invasive is asking for information people don’t want to share. When people share personal stories, it helps me get to know them. I want to get to know them. Getting to know people and what’s important to them is well worth my time. It doesn’t matter to me that they may not have any business with me.
In my opinion, being professional is treating people the same, regardless of what they can do for you.
No, Mix. People choose to be offended. It's a coping strategy.
He chose to portray himself a victim when someone had a decidedly different opinion.
Just as Scott chooses to show up each time with his obsequious lecture series on adulting.
(Go have lunch at a local playground and watch/listen to the kids. You'll see it more plainly for what it is.)
You are projecting again, Bob.
Who plays the victim? You love being the victim of all of your conspiracy theories. You are the victim because no one is as smart as you to understand what’s truly going on. Remember ….Fauci was just like Joseph Mengela?..lol…that was a good one. One of your best. At least top 10
Get off the cross. We can use the wood.
No one is offended by your rudeness. Just calling it for what it is. It’s not hard to understand when someone is talking down to you.
It’s actually sad to see someone like that. Life is to be enjoyed. Everyone is not out to get you.
