Cruznolfart Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I'm a bit curious about something. Our local CL "musicians" column is fulla hate. For every legit ad, there are about 10 flames, the OP gets flamed aas well as anyone who responds to the OP. It's like impossible to make any sense of real ads due to the fog in the air from the pissing contests. It's become a freakin' joke. Is this a local phenomenon or is your local CL musician's page so fulla animosity between the so-called musicians who use it? Check this out...

ShredAstaire Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Really weird...i just looked at the Toronto listings and its nothing like that. I feel we have a pretty good indie band community...at least we did when we were playing. There's maybe a few *****y posts here and there but not like that you linked to! Crazy!

Yeah, it doesn't make sense. Myself and a few others have commented/complained to CL but to no avail. Any of the other pages are moderated fairly closely with the few acrimonious posts being usually binned within a day. But the musician's page is a freakin' sandbox.

Jeff-7 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 We get very few of those around here, just the occasional call out post when someone is selling a used item for the retail of a new item or higher - or when an actual business lists on there.

EVOL! Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Wow, that is some ugly content. Chicago's CL does not get anywhere near that much piss&vinegar. Maybe one nasty reply or angry response every 500 posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Cruzn', it's the Gibson Lounge 2009-10 all over again! That shchitz funny. Yeah we have our spats here too.

rct Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 We're about 50 miles from Medford, on the way to the coast. Enjoyed a few days in Seaside, lunch down at Tillamook, dinner at Big Foots was fun! Haystack. Long bridge over to WA and back. Came across the state along the Columbia, went back along Columbia. Lucky to have a night up on Mt. Hood at Timberline Lodge. Awesome piece of this country you got out there. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Wow...that is wild. I wonder what the employment situation is down there....seems like a lot of hate and a lot of idle TIME to hate. A couple (few) years ago I was looking at the Portland ads, nothing like that. Not to at fuel to the fire, but it is hard enough to sort the ads of real players or ads that might amount to something WITHOUT the trolling/flaming stuff. As in, maybe one out of 20 might be what they say or represent they are, as opposed to a waste of time. For example: in ROUGUE VALLEY, a "band" is seeking a guitarist, a bass player, and a drummer. (lol). Got 5 sets of materiel, though. (lol again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of small-time losers on CL who have no life. "Hey, I resemble that remark!," he sez to hisself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
