Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure this will be removed. I received a letter from Johnny this morning and am posting my response.....The only reason for making this public is so those I've become friends with and those who've enjoyed my posts know why I'm gone

We need you to turn your filter up a notch. Post after post of nothing but off-subject sarcasm is making you enemies. Not sure whether you care or not but we mods are tired of baby sitting. Post on subject, or pass the thread by. Some threads are open to humor and that's fine, but your constant barrage of sarcasm has to stop. Please do your best to understand. There are many here with thin skin, and can't handle the comments. Thanks.

I'm used to backlash after 4 decades in broadcasting, but venture to say more people appreciate my honesty and humor than don't. If my opinions/responses are not wanted here, then far be it from me to increase your time "babysitting". I've made some good friends here and I'm sure a few people that wish I'd go away and not "bully" them. Like most of those responding to the BLOCKING PEOPLE thread said, you can always hit ignore if your skins too thin to understand not everyone is in agreement or into coddling your insecurities. I apologize if I've put any undo strain on your job as "mayor". Certainly not my intention. I can assure you I've filtered myself as much as I can without becoming a "bot". You never see foul language or inappropriate name calling and I stay as clear of political content as anyone else. I admit I do have a tendency to downplay and dispute others who think drumming is a science with need to dissect each and every stroke of a stick rather than enjoying the participation in music. That's my opinion and I share it pretty regularly. Not to disavow anyone's intelligent endeavors, but to stress that drumming/music is an art that involves application of the soul and feeling, not science. It's an opinion.
Anyway, I'll be retiring from DW for a while. Maybe longer. Relax and enjoy. JW
