No need to leave, man...DrumChat, like any group of people, is a hodge-podge of personalities. Most of them are cool people and I like to think that, although I haven't met another member in person, I could sit down with any of you for a cup of coffee, a soda, or even a beer and talk drums and drumming like you were my buddy next door. In some cases, we'd be sittin' behind the set or--in my case--behind the congas for some serious jammin'! A few others, to be discreet, like nothing better to stir up the...uh...fertilizer...
What we have here are people who'd be arguing in the coffee shop, the bar, in the office...and if I see a subject that raises my blood pressure, I might take a look at it, and if I want to respond, I do. If I don't, I don't. If a member gets to the point he or she upsets too many other members, the moderators will deal with him or her.
Don't give up, ddrumbum--it's dudes and ladies like us who help
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
