I understand if you guys are cynical about this, but I am sincerely trying to apologise for something here. Perhaps you're right, maybe I am paranoid, but I nonetheless feel like I've been pretty unpleasant at times. I've given out negative rep about three times over the past month or two, just on a whim of pique at an offhand comment somebody made. I gave Ravenx495's song a pretty patronising and snobby comment (http://www.guitartricks.com/forum/showthread.php?p=208946#post208946 ) , and I pedantically corrected you, Josh, on one word in your song when it was absolutely brilliant (http://www.guitartricks.com/forum/showthread.php?p=208943#post208943). I took a really authoritative and egotistical tone on a subject I didn't really know much about http://www.guitartricks.com/forum/showthread.php?p=207197#post207197 and made a pretty nasty comment in a thread about someone's favourite band (http://www.guitartricks.com/forum/showthread.php?p=207434#post207434). Not to mention me completely ignoring a bunch of birthdays and welcome threads, and the negative rep thing. Even if you guys say you haven't noticed, I feel like an a-hole, and I felt I needed to try to clear it up. This isn't some cynical self-pitying attempt to get rep and compliments, I'm not that petty. I just wanted to clear things up. But if you say there's nothing to clear up, and laugh it off as an attempt to get rep and preen my ego, I should probably go and get a life.
