<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Re: dictators, PSO, and the free world</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> Alright, I accept all this...no problem. The only thing I object to is when someone tells another person(S) that it = is forbidden to use a certain word. So PSO or not, I mainly object to Mr Bremmers objections. I thereby do not dictate, I merely react as a free person, a free subscribe= r, to a sort of neutral forum, ahem. So... I agree with you on all points, but not where you describe me as a di= ctator. Let us go back to where this started, just to clear things up: Someone on this list uses the word PSO. Mr B. fulminates against this person in quite a miserable way. he insults t= he user of the PSO word. And this is what gets me mad, because I think that = we can discuss matters, but without nasty insults. I therefore pointed out to B. Bremmer that he is a dictator by forbidding t= he PSO word. So why call ME a dictator? I am getting tired of 'that person's  Paranoid/Schizo behaviour. Indeed, I should use my filters too.

In our trade we find it very difficult to sometimes convey what we actually= mean with sound, motion, action and many others. Because A PSO has been accepted as a PSO, it becomes confusing to refer to = all or any, other than a PSO as a PSO. Other wise we may have consider refer= ring to real PSO's as crappy PSOs and great pianos as top PSOs and this is s= tarting to confuse me so how about we just call a spade a spade and a PSO a = PSO. And  please note.  You are dictating to everyone also.

Furthermore PSO is not an American dirty word, nor could it abuse the chris= tians among us. PSO means : Piano sounding object. Any piano is an object that sounds like a piano, you know what I am saying?= So please refrain from dictating and offending subscribers to this list. <B= R> (could I be more clear?)

Now, didn't I see you recently suggest that my posts should simply be delet= ed and not responded to?  I certainly never respond to anything you have = to say because I never see any value in it.  So, it may be just as well if yo= u stick to what you say.  Just delete, don't respond.  You'll be more at = ease that way.
