Hi Scott. And nope, no sour grapes. Just don't like you or your website much. And if people want to know why I got banned, they are happy to go to my blog or myspace page here to read all about it:

You don't even say why you got banned (spamming the tagboards and pipeline with hate posts). I'm not even the one who banned you.

Scott, if you want to tell your side of the story, I encourage you to do so. But this is not the place to do that. Please follow the links and post your point of view on Garageband, my blog or my MySpace page. Unlike IAC, I won't delete your comments.

P.S. I'm still waiting on my apology and a published list of posting guidelines on IAC. I still don't see where posting constructive comments on your blog and mentioning chart problems in the forums is an offense worthy of banning. You really need to correct this problem sooner rather than later.

Michael,

As a dispassionate observer here, you really have invited Scott to comment on this topic here by opening the subject. It's not reasonable to ask him to go to another site to tell his side after you came here to tell yours. Just an observation...really! Again, I have to say that in the end...you have all kinds of options for posting your music...some probably better than IAC...some worse. None of them offer you anything irreplaceable as an artist. If you were treated unfairly there, just pick a new one and let karma take care of the rest. If the fault lies with you...well then karma will still work :-)

John, I've encouraged him to have this discussion elsewhere out of respect for you guys. One look at the discussion on Garageband should explain everything. If you guys would like for us to discuss this here, I'm happy to do so. But I suspect you'd rather we didn't, at least that's the vibe I was getting.

Thanks,

I don't think it serves this community to bring this stuff here, and I believe Dot has made that pretty clear. When you quoted me, you left off the rest of it when I said it's not reasonable to ask him to discuss this somewhere else when you came here to discuss it. Kind of like farting in a room and then looking at everyone else as if they did it (sorry for being so carpenter-ish). I have no dog in this fight, but I'm going to stop replying now because it only serves to keep bumping this thread. I wish you the best.
