Blueskies wrote: Way to go there, Mr. Rykbost. You have an amazing ability to keep rolling downhill. For a long time I had respect for you and supportive of your music but you lost that. Yes this is just a music message board that you post on for fun but you forget that you are in public and represent your family, your faith, your uniform, your music and the promotion of it along with those you have been collaborating with.
I have a son and a cousin who wear the same uniform that you do and I know that they would never act like you do in public or be disrespectful to a woman like you are at any time. You have called me a bitch now a couple times and now this. As an officer of higher rank then my son I find you doing this even more sad...also coming from someone who has professed faith and say they go to church...is this type of behavior following your faith? Is this the kind of conduct that is expected from someone in your position in the military in or out of uniform?
You have called Jeremey out on his integrity several times yet you conduct yourself in this manner? Is your conduct on here a good way to promote your music...by attempting to ridicule people? Hey maybe there is a handful that laugh with you and support you in this on here but I can guarantee you are making an ass out of yourself to the majority of those who read. Apparently you don't think any farther then whatever whim strikes you to go with in the moment and fail to see the ramifications it may have to you in promoting your music as well as how you are viewed as a person.
You fail to see that your disrespect here makes the laugh on you not me, regardless if you have some support on here of a few who will post to you....have you thought about how many aren't supportive of your conduct that don't post but read and shake their heads at you? How many people who are viewing and don't think too highly of you for it? Not everyone is of a obnoxious juvenile mindset. Not everyone reads and thinks you are too cool for school anymore.
Yulog Mike has tried hard to remain anonymous so he can post stupid crap and harass someone on the net like he has me for a couple years now as well as a few others so he feels he's hidden enough like the wuss he is to do this kind of harassment, so I guess he has at least enough brain cells working to try to stay in the closet ... but you have made yourself well known and are trying to promote your work, so you're an even bigger fool then he is.
There are a few things I will touch on here... 1... I've never said I was referring to you, and you just assumed as much. Someone else mentioned your name, and I just played along. You are not the person I had in mind when I made this thread.
2...I have never said "Blueskies is a bitch" to my knowledge. I've said in a smart-ass tone that "someone here is a crazy bitch!!!". If you feel that the name suits you... that's on you. You have inserted yourself in many of my conversations and posts with others when it has nothing to do with you. You like to preach to everyone else on here (and you don't believe in short posts... you just ramble ON AND ON!!!). If you think I'm the only one here that has grown tired of your posting lessons... let's do a poll to see who's had it up to their eyeballs with your posting lessons.
3... I appreciate your son's service to his country. I'm also very proud of my own service, and it's given me a great living. I'm proud every day when I put that uniform on, and it's the best thing I've ever done with my life. Wearing a uniform does not make me any less human than you, or anyone else on here. The fact that you are a woman has nothing to do with the way I treat you. I work with people of every color, race, ethnicity, and sex. I treat all people with the upmost of respect... until they lose that respect by their own actions. Just because you're a woman... it doesn't mean I'm going to kiss your ass if your being ridiculous!

I'm actually an old-school gentleman when it comes to women... I open doors, buy flowers for my wife, cook for her, etc...
4... I am a man of faith. Is it your business? No. I have never come on here and said I go to church. I've said that I played keyboards in a church band years ago. I haven't been to church in about 2 years. I do believe in God and Jesus, and I'm also a sinner. There are several things I'm working on, and NONE of them are your business.
5... I did get out of hand with my posts to Jeremey. I have already worked out my issues with Jeremey in private, and will not bring it up again in here. This is actually the only valid point. I got wrapped around the axle about stuff that happened long ago. Have you seen me post in his "OT is OT" thread?
6... I'm sure there are several people on here that don't like me OR my personality. Not many people are liked by everyone. I try to be courtious to everyone here, and try to make as many friends as I can, but I don't change who I am to get people to like me. I am and have ALWAYS been a very upfront and honest person. If you're honest, a lot of other problems have a way of staying small verses blowing up by someone trying to cover up one lie with another. I also try to be light hearted around here and make people smile. I think I succeed some of the time.
7... as far as my music... I am not a full time musician. I do try to promote my music as best I can, but I also won't change who I am, and kiss any asses to get new fans. If people like my music, I love it. If they don't like me as a person, and don't buy it for those reasons, I can't complain. I don't change who I am to appease people. I'm the same person I am today, as I was yesterday, and who I'll be tomorrow. If I'm wrong, I fully admit it also. I can't recall 1 time that I've heard you say you made a mistake...
Finally, I appologize for posting a book here (which is what I accused you of). I don't hate you, and I hope you have a great day.
