How long have you been here? Like him or not, Rob's not going anywhere. If
you don't like what he has to say, use your killfile. It's that simple.
You're just one in a long line of people who make these posts in hopes of
"saving RMMP". Ain't gonna happen. As a matter of fact, you'll probably just
attract flames from OTHER RMMPers for this type of post (where ARE you
jmt??). I'm a nice guy, so I'll go easy on ya. :-)

It IS a great place to share drumming ideas and opinions. There is a signal
to noise ratio, however. We consider RMMP to be a sort of "tavern" at which
drummers can sit around and talk shop. If you let your son hang out in a bar
and listen to a conversation between a circle of drummers, he'd hear much of
the same and probably worse. Maybe this isn't the place for him.

What a goofy post. Everything you are asking the group to do, you just did.If
you don not want to participate in someones postins and be exposed to it, set up
a kill file. This is why filters exist.
In regards to the vulgarity, one thing I do notice from the complaintants.Quite
often, they object to the obscenities and copy the whole message....kind of self
defeating, isn't it?
If rob gets to bothering me...he will get filtered. Frankly, i think he shares
alot of knowledge about jazz, about drum dealers, parts, manufacturers, etc...I
have never understood the weight of using your real name or what your ISP of
choice is....but so what. If he gets in the same category as Tom or Rance, into
the bucket he goes.....I suggest you try filters....

I'll never understand why people think it's worth their time to say

anything that I didn't know and use regularly by the second grade. If
your kids are smart enough to use a computer, this is old hat to them.

I had the same experience. Rob has been a total asshole to just about
everyone in here and has more than once insulted me roundly for little
or no reason. But I can't imagine RMMP without him. He's insightful,
knowledgable, and comic relief all rolled into one.

I agree although you may not have much luck convincing the majority.
Just killfile him then your son can enjoy this group. Hopefully
nobody will quote any of Rob's nasty posts although I don't think it
is going to happen. I learned along time ago this is an R rated
group. You can thank Schuh for that. Would be really cool if it was
a G rated group though but, that is not going to happen. Rob has ZERO
self control.

You know, I must be the only person in here who has never had one word of
trouble with Rob. Not that I have missed the Rob / DDSD wars (who could?),
but the most negative thing he has directed to me was a simple terse
statement refuting one of my posts. Now I'm sure that had I
counter-responded with something like "Hey, you gay-bashing homo jazz geek!
Get your bitch ass back in the kitchen and make me some pie!" he would have
probably fired both barrels.

Look, man,
Before you come in here and start beating on your chest, why don't you chill
out and lurk a little bit more and check out the vibe?
Thanks for your suggestions.
PP
Sounds like you are crying in your beer at the rmmp tavern. ;-)
PP
Face facts. Rob was here long before all of these, excepting maybe JE. He
can speak for himself, when he untwists himself from his daily regimen.
PP
Look, I don't agree with LOTS of what Rob says - sometimes I find what he
spews forth even SHOCKING; and I would personally use a different style to
phrase my opinions than Rob chooses to; but I consider him to be a friend,
same as a lot of other shriners here who I haven't yet met (and some who I
HAVE).
This is like FAMILY, man.

1.) It's a newsgroup, not a study group. Things will get rowdy sometimes.
2.) No one forces you to be here, there are plenty of moderated drum forums
that you are welcome to join.
3.) You do not have to read Rob's posts. Learn how to use filters or just
scroll over his messages. He uses his name so it's pretty easy to avoid him
if he offends you.
4.) No one "let's him get away" with anything. There is nothing "we" can
do. He's free to post whatever he wants, just like you and I. Why is your
first reaction an attempt to censor or banish Rob?
5.) I find some of Rob's messages kind of stupid too, but I also like a lot
of his messages. If he goes off on a tangent, I just move on, it doesn't
occur to me that I have to change Rob's behavior just because he has a potty
mouth.

Why can't this troll butch up and show ANY verification that he has done a
SINGLE gig in his life? So he can breed? big fucking deal. This guy is a
cowardly troll who has no talent and if he is so worried about what I say, then
he has no life. Worrying about me sounds like Ass Kisser Bill Ray too.

How about gosh dangit?
Open letter to Rob.
Please go away. You are a bad person with a ca ca mouth and you make people
sad with your mean words. Go away to some place where words like "fuck" and
"shit" and "whore" and "buttfucker" and "cuntlicker" and "poop" and "Buddy
Rich" are acceptable. That place must be in hell because regular people
"just like me" would certainly not put up with such profanity.
But I am not mad at you and I do not hate you. You must of had a terrible
childhood in order to be so cynical and mean spirited. Maybe you were
fondled by a homosexual priest while you practiced your drums to gospel
music. Maybe your own father beat you with a lead pipe when you showed any
weakness and now you must put on a macho front for all.
You do not have to pretend to be tough here at RMMP. We can and will accept
sensitive, caring Birkenstocks wearing motherfuckers (oops, sorry) who are
not afraid to show a tender side and even cry when something truly bad
happens, like the release of a new Rush CD.
So repent, Mr. Schuh. Look in the mirror and say "I'm special and unique
and if I ever see Lardo again I will put aside our petty feud and give him a
big bear hug, or as much of a hug as I can muster with my regular sized arms
and his gargantuan food bucket."
You are loved Mr. Schuh, now go fuck with someone.
if you let someone's words on the INTERNET get you that tightly-wound, then i'd
say you have time management issues. learn to read past the profanity or don't
read it at all. those are your choices.

yes, you're a legend in your own mind...
Mazin "Mr. Hollywood Wannabe's" and Rob’s (for that matter) definition of
"Christian" would be - A person who allows the rabid, depraved, dogs of a pack
to regurgitate all over them and never utters one single word in reprisal.
These sick dogs are allowed to attack with all the insults, vulgarity,
perverted sexual innuendos they can dredge up, with absolutely zero
accountability for their behavior.
These sick dogs are allowed to dish out heaping portions of abuse, and never,
ever, are the "Christians" allowed to say one word in reprisal.
News Flash to the Rabid Dogs:
Real life doesn’t quite work this way.
Jesus was the only perfect human being, and He died on a cross.
"You shall reap what you sow..."
Very true Blue. Also, to call them dogs does not do a dog justice.
Try using the term rats instead.:-)

Your kids don't need protection, they need to learn maturity so they too can
filter out the profane and make up their own minds. Censoring forums for
them ain't the way to go, you're doing more damage than good by "protecting"
them. Your job as a parent is to raise your children to be responsible
adults, not keep them in a gilded cage and treat them as mindless little
objects.
BTW, yes, I am a father.

Amen to that. Rob may be a complete nutcase, but there's no doubt that he
