^^^ What you ask me here at the end of your message can also go for the rest of y'all. What do y'all get out of trying to make it as clear as crystal glass that you are not interested in what ever it is that I say at this forum? In my opinion, writing to me at all about it only contradicts your saying that you are not interested in whatever I have to say here. If y'all truly did not have any use for what I bring to this forum, it wouldn't be so easy for me to get all that I end up getting out of y'all. Also I have never once talked about when James does personal things like going to the bathroom. Of course the man himself doesn't speak of it, but even if his personal business was put out there, I would never have the desire to share that much about him. This is a music forum, so what is up with him in that area is where my focus has been and will continue to be. Also if you run a search on my messages here, you will see that James and Billy Joe are not the only singers that I have ever breathed a word about here. Sure they make up the majority of what is at this forum from me, but I have talked about other musical acts.
God bless you and James always!!! 😄😄😄

P.S. Another thing for y'all to think about is how much more worse things would be here if I were really anything like the rest of y'all. Whenever y'all go on about things that I have no interest in, do I go out of my way to point out my feelings concerning those things? Never. Why not? Because I know how to show at least some respect for your rights to talk about whatever interests you enough. I try to show the consideration that I would appreciate from other people in return and if that doesn't make any sense to the rest of y'all, well then that is only going to say more about y'all than it ever will about me. The decision is yours and only yours. I will say this though, I do appreciate y'all who think that I am worth writing to at all good or bad. If there is anything that I have learned from being a fan of James and Billy Joe, it is to not take for granted whatever attention it is that you do get from other people. 😄😄😄 _________________ Me & my favorite singer James Otto

Once again, not every thing I said was meant to be dead serious. I don't think you care when and where James Otto goes to the bathroom, just like I don't think Norman was literally suggesting you and Romanelli are actually in love. Not everything needs to be taken at face value or dead-serious-ly. Im just saying... maybe start actually utilizing this site rather than spamming it or constantly complaining that your hands are sore after scratching a self-inflicted itch. There are plenty of people here who are country/americana fans, maybe you can actually find some a good helping of new favorite artists and actually, you know, have a discussion with someone else here about your favorite type of music rather than just walling yourself up in a constant newsfeed of James Otto and then just passive-agressively complaining that everybody should just ignore you or accept the bubble mentality rather than looking critically at what you may personally contribute to the problem, and how you can better the discussion and personal interactions with others on here. In all honesty, I admire you're ability to constantly shake off criticism, but I think that's also a big part of the problem as well.
I donno, Maybe we're just at completely different crossroads; I love finding new artists and favorite albums all the time, but maybe another just loves sticking to what they already enjoy. Again, can't tell you what to do, but if you keep doing the same thing over and over again it's going to get the same result. You'll also find more people (not everyone mind you, but more than you think) are willing to give your favorites an honest listen when you actually meet them halfway and are willing to see what they have to offer as well. Again as condescending as this comes across ( :oops:), it's not, at least, intended as an insult, maybe just a push towards a little self-examination and a hope for more fruitful, engaging discussions here that don't get derailed with somebody always playing the designated villain and victim. Of course you can ignore this and just keep doing what you've been doing here forever, again no one can stop you, but I just don't think living in a bubble mentality and constantly playing the victim can be much fun.
(On a final note: when you say "I have talked with other people here", about whatever, there's a big difference between a discussion and using the forums like your own personal twitter account. Sorry to say but often I feel like the only time you exhibit the former is when other people call you out for the latter, but that's just one idiot's opinion. People won't respect an open mouth if you don't have open ears as well (please dear gawd nobody go there...)
P.S And please JOS if you're going to respond don't respond with a post about how people should just ignore you if they don't like you, that it's only me or other people on the forums that are the problem and how bad it makes you feel, unrelated personal drama or that I need to always be god blessed above your signature, that's all I ask if nothing else.
^^^ "I have talked with other people here" is not what I said. I said that I have talked about other musical acts here and not just my most favorites. Also I don't know how being able to shake off criticism is a problem when people are going to be criticized no matter how they respond to it. I know this from being a day one fan of LeAnn Rimes. 😄😄😄
God bless you and her always!!! 😄😄😄

Remember, I like country and I'm more than up to discussing different albums and artists here, but not if you're only willing to stick to your small pool of artists and disregard what other people have to offer and If one feels they constantly have to be self-conscious in whatever they say 'cause how it all makes you feel personally and that they're always going to be labeled the designated villian if they disagree with you. You're an adult and i think it's only reasonable that you're not treated with kid gloves here, but not disrespected either. That's all Im trying to get at here, i'm not going after a teardown and I apologize if it comes out that way.
Anyways, that's all 'm gonna say on the matter, hopefully it all came out clearly the point I was trying to get across (not so sure 😕 )
And I picked up a nice discount vinyl copy of Cash's Live at San Quentin near the Gulch, so music purchases have been good lately.

Conversations about my most favorite singers are not the only ones that I am willing to get in on. If another singer that I am interested in enough is mentioned by anyone, my praise for them will be here in return. 😄😄😄
However, what you say in the rest of your message is another street that isn't just one way only. If you are going to put your two pennies out there about anything no matter how other people look at your coins, don't expect anyone else to keep their money in their pocket. What makes me different from the rest of you here though is my choice to be respectful of y'all enough to where I don't say anything about your favorites should they be on the list of those that I don't care for. You and everyone else here may disagree, but in my opinion, paying so much attention to someone that you are obviously not a fan of is a waste of precious time, but if you are going to give them that much attention anyways, a person with my way of looking at the matter can only be appreciative. Thank you for the interest that y'all have decided to show in my favorite singers. Every little bit helps no matter how good or how bad your interest in them is because it is better than no interest at all. 😄😄😄
God bless you and my favorites always!!! 😄😄😄

Jos, amnesia or remember some of the things you have posted in the lounge? Don't for a second think you've been a perfect-angel/constant victim here, some of the things you have said have been utterly appalling with seemingly little empathy or regard for how that might make others feel... which is often what we're accussed of doing to you. Yes I have no right to claim a high horse here, but neither do you, stop making it look like you've always been gracious and respectful to everybody here and it's always somebody else's fault. Not trying to character-assassinate here, but yes you have contributed to some of the same problems here and maybe can actually work together rather than curl up in a bubble to make the overall relationship with you and your... "critics"? more harmonious here. Maybe actually look at someone else's chart and try an album you haven't heard, discuss it with them, and I mean who knows what wonderous discovery you might find and what doors it may open as a music fan. Or maybe we can finally just grudgingly learn to co-exist, oy vey round-and-a-round-and-a-round it goes where it stops nobody knows...
But I promise to stop contributing to what Im scolding you for, so will leave this conversation accordingly and stop ruining this thread, response or non.
