The whole dongle issue is such a wrong-doing. I also exposed a history of actions taken by one of those companies (Steinberg) that seriously raise questions on their ethical integrity.

With that, it is more than expectable that>
a. some with hidden special interest will do anything to distort the facts and will do anything to focus on me personally, in order to distract from the truth. I bluntly denounce, and they call them "insults".

b. some who don't know better, but think it is a good thing to make friends with the above will just support them at all costs, but in a clumsy manner (they don't know better).

c. those who are above any sides, will just read and draw their OWN conclusions

d. the rest just doesn't care about anything


I target the c group. And I am confident my points do get across regardless of my style, because of what my points are actually based on.

My points are sincerely reflected upon. Most people don't take nothing seriously, and take sides just based on "the appearance of what would be safer to support". I admit I have little patience to those, but believe it or not, I actually contain myself A HUGE LOT in regards to my necessity to slap them off their evident light usage of neurons. I won't, don't worry.


On the other hand, my bluntness is often charged dearly by the politician-style-lovers at all levels. They do try to offend me personally and everything, but my skin is thicker than the world. The funny thing is that they protest on-topic-related bluntness with mere insults. Just hillarious, and thus their weakness.

In a few words, I don't spend/have time for hypocrisy. I understand a few nails will get broken along the way, but you know what? I deeply rely on substance and facts, and I am confident that substance is worth more than anything else in the view of those around who actually matter... the rest? I don't give a rat's ass about those.

OTOH, I get as passionate about well-doings too. Browse my posts and you will find plenty of "love rants" from me directed to good and fair policies and practices.



You and others can see there are fair and good points in my posts. That's all that matters to me.


Join me.
Denounce the wrong openly.


Join me using your own style.

Do you apply the same honest/trusting policies to your own work and
your own music?

If someone were to take your work and start to sell it as their own, or
profit from it without your permission, would you be OK with that?

You've got your loyal listeners and customers .. and you don't
want to inconvenience them.

Where is that comfort zone for you?
