Beach Boys - Icon ??

[I. Spaceman]

It wasn't an honest question.

Do you really think that I didn't know about UMe now owning Capitol???

For someone who's posted, literally, continuously on this board, you must've at some point read at least a few of my posts and been aware know the work I do.

So, either you just post constantly and never read anyone else's posts -- which is quite possible -- or you were being obnoxious and I (and another board member) called you on it.
(And I used my real name when I did it.)

I didn't post on this board for 6 years (how do you not know that if you have been here for 7 of them?), and it was likely during that time, that you joined and composed most of your posts here. Honestly, I don't keep track of everyone who writes a BB book, I'm sorry. Due to your forceful boasts, I am now totally aware (or should I say, "been aware know") of the work you have done, and I apologize for not giving you the large amount of respect and fealty you feel you so richly deserve. *curtsy* OK?
It was actually an honest question, and I don't owe you any explanation further than that. I wasn't attempting to be obnoxious in any way. What you feel is obnoxious is anyone daring to not immediately recognize your name and ultimate authority. OK, now I know, and I will keep my head bowed when addressing you. OK?
And that whole utter bull about "not using your own name". what is that? What does it mean? THE MODERATORS OF THIS BOARD don't use their real names half the time. Is "Howie" the exact name on your birth certificate? People deserve respect, whatever moniker they choose, and unbelievably, even if they haven't written a book about The Beach Boys.
I'd rather talk about the band with a kind nobody than a defensive and rude insider, any day.

You make me laugh, and considering I didn't swear or lob any insults your way at all, I'll speak to you however I please according to the rules of the board. Save the bold type, really, it is just amusing. Fathom that. Capitol is now an official arm of UMe, so saying the disc in question has nothing to do with the label is just a bit misleading.

Insult # 1 - "You make me laugh."
Insult # 2 - "I'll speak to you however I please according to the rules of the board".
Insult # 3 - "Save the bold type, really, it is just amusing. Fathom that."

If that isn't insulting and condescending, I don't know what is.

Poindexter F. Geritol Jr., I didn't START with the insults. That is the point. I asked a simple, serious question, got insults back. Responded in kind.

Look at your post count, and then mine.

Yeah, I just did. I think I have quite a bit more posts because you were banned from this board for quite awhile. But I see you're striving to catch up...

I have never inferred I "know it all", I merely knew more than you did about one subject, the dates of Capitol labels, and you threw insults at me, rather than engage in an adult conversation. You should be embarrassed, and act your considerable age. I was merely asking a person if they hadn't heard that Capitol merged with Universal, that's all, an honest question. Your faultless bank of knowledge isn't required at this stage.

You make me sound like I'm real old. "Considerable age? I'm the same age as AGD and a couple of years older than Jon and right around the same age as many other posters on this board." I don't regard myself as being old at all!

Insult #4. - "Your faultless bank of knowledge".  Why should I respond to someone regarding Capitol labels or anything simular?  That condescending attitude turns me off and the conversation with it. Talk to yourself!

Was given a time-out for two days in 2006, left by my own choice a few months later. Don't hurt yourself with that thinking jazz.

Your behavior here, in the context of me trying to dialogue with you about the label design history (I was excited to talk to someone about a subject I have great interest in), was utterly obnoxious, and your knowledge nearly nonexistent, "simular" to a (boring) boar: http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,15204.msg351010.html#msg351010

Howie knows record label politics and business in the current world in an inside way that no one else I know does...and on both coasts. He's also a good father, which is harder than the rest.

I trust you, I'm sure that is all true. Never meant to get into an argument with him.

This, along with the other posts Ian made in this thread, were the final straw.

I mean it...if any of you feel the need to go off on someone, take it to PMs.

So Billy, is the name change and the new avatar your hand ywork?   

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Yeah. After what he said to me after his ban (and me getting constant notifications because he is leaving comments on just about anything I've uploaded makes me think something is up with him mentally), despite me previously sticking up for him, well...he deserves it. That's what I get for being nice :/

Anyway... I really like that cover I have to say, probably one of their coolest looking covers since god only knows how long ago!
