Yeah… I rather liked that too. I couldn’t help but use it for a siggy line.

I dread the time that shall surely come when I need a catharsis. Incontinence is the badge of all our tribe…

Wow…all these “hope it wasn’t me” posts!
No, it’s just an idiosyncratic etiquette issue. When a whistle maker starts one of his/her few allowed threads to promote his/her business, it strikes me that that thread is not the place to weigh in with negative opinions about that person’s products. (unless he/she asked for reviews.)
I’m all for free discussion of opinions about whistles, and open reviewing, but how about posting an independent review, rather than highjacking a craftperson’s promotional thread?

edit: I’ve been chastised gently for this kind of snarl before…I think it may be a peeve that’s unique to me. I’m not trying to derail the cherished C&F uncensored, free-posting ideology. (nor do I intend to behave offensively toward the chiffers who’ve expressed the negative opinions I refer to here–they are chiffers whose opinions, I’ll add, I tend to respect.)

I shan’t chastise, I agree completely." Shan’t " a contraction of shan not, as in I shan not go swimming or giving unsolicited negative jibes ( hardly reviews ) on makers limited approved announcement threads today. Today I also shan’t eat biscuits and gravy, nor stand on one leg.

[emmline]

I shan not hang around C&F too long today…too much to do.

[izzarina]

I shan not receive my new whistle today for the mail shan not be delivering on this All Hallow’s Eve, which falls on Sunday. That falls under the “primal scream” category as well for I’m none too happy about it

Oh, golly . . . I can’t wait to see what kind of innuendo this will drag to the surface.

Cool! So I wasn’t the only one who felt that way.

Don’t really need to vent, but I have to admit that that thread did make me a little uncomfortable.

Things that make me go Grrrrr-----
People that live cotton wool lives, and think they have a right to tell the rest of the world what to do
People that think a cartoon bare backside is pornagraphic
Today I saw a flock of geese flying in the wrong dierection. I wanted to shout out hey you guys turn a round but stoped myself as I hoped that we may just get a few less winter days, and some how if they went on there way it might help.

[Flyingcursor]

Um. Is this supposed to be funny?

[CHIFF_FIPPLE]

O’h and what realy makes me go GRRRRR is when some pratt geek trys to be a smart Ass and puts up lots of posts saying the same thing

[Flyingcursor]

I’m not “trying” to be a smart arse. I AM a smart arse.

I see my work is done here.

…primal scream.

I don’t think Arthur would agree with your usage of this term here. The primal scream is insight driven - not just a catharsis. You can swear and growl at me all you want. I have a right just like anyone els to vent my frustration in a harmless way. Some swear like dirt, others nit pick at it.
Just take a look at my Alto A whistle topic.
