Rattling their Cage

Well, after another long, hard day's work and an evening at the gym, I see 
what could easily have been predicted.  The same bunch, the same complaints.  
You see, I merely provide the catalyst for getting them to spout off, in 
greater detail than I have ever seen any of them write a technical post, 
about that one guy they just wish would go away.  Horace is as free to write 
on the List, provide technical information, quote poetry or philosophy to 
underscore it as anyone.  I'd like to see something of real value, just once.

As for the many posts that were never written because I somehow stood in the 
way, how about the ones that were never written because the List is too full 
of off topic discussion, one liners, personal notes, etc., (that I never had 
anything to do with) for any serious minded tech to be interested in wading 
through?

I'd like to see all of those that took the time to vent their hatred, anger 
and frustration with me and my *behavior* to write some kind of opinion about 
tuning hammer styles (a subject in this month's Journal) and methods of 
operating one.  There is more than one person who has currently asked about 
this topic and I'm sure there are others who have questions.

It is a classic example of a topic where you will get opinions from the very 
best technicians that will seem to contradict each other.  I believe the best 
way for any individual to sort this kind of contradictory information out is 
to be able to read as many opinions with details as possible.  And I don't 
mean one liners like, "I'm a Jerk tuner, the ladies love it".

OK, Ola, let's see how many of the now famous Baloney Bunch, the remnants of 
that erstwhile tame and civil group that lived in such blissful harmony 
before *I* came along will write something worth reading and worth putting in 
the archives.  I know each one of them can do it and I do respect their 
opinions which often concur with mine.  I don't "attack" them if they differ 
from mine.  It is and always has been the HT controversy that that has been 
inflammatory in and of itself.  This, in spite of repeated denials.  In the 
back of their minds, it is *always* the "Oh him again, the one who does 
*that*!"  It colors their perception and raises the most deep seated defense 
mechanisms every time.

But the idea is not going away, nor am I.
