Camaraderie Excels Verbal Slugfests

Bill Hankey · Post by **Bill Hankey** » 9 Jul 2006 6:44 am

A lighter approach to individual stances concerning how others live their lives, would be most welcome at this time. Camaraderie is the key to worthwhile satisfaction, in the study of the steel guitar.

Bill, I agree. Steel players are a rare breed, and we should show each other respect out of our mutual love for the instrument, even if we differ on other issues.

It is useless to try to force other people to change their view of the world. One cannot control another person - the only real exception is when someones behavior is so pathological that they need to be imprisoned. Otherwise, we only have the power to influence. To influence someone, one needs to command respect with them. This requires a meeting of the minds, which requires mutual respect. Real satisfaction in a relationship with anybody begins there, and cameraderie flows from this. IMO.

Agreed!

I agree with you also. The internet is kind of a microcosm of the world isn't it,and just like the world there will always be folks who don't quite see eye to eye on everything.

I agree too. There are a few people here who act very hostile towards other members. That's not right. We have more in common than that which seperates us. We should try to all get along with each other.

Satisfaction's worthiness is largely acedemic.

Unless you're not really satisfied..

Bill, I finally understand something you said. You're right on. Don.

Agreed, Bill.

But shouldn't the title of this post be "Camaraderie Diminishes Verbal Slugfest"?

Lee Baucum · Post by **Lee Baucum** » 9 Jul 2006 11:45 am

Excel means to rise above or be superior to.
A most appropriate word.

You're preaching to the choir here, Bill!

Ah... you're right, of course. My bad. Carry on[This message was edited by Tucker Jackson on 09 July 2006 at 12:58 PM.]

b0b,

Thanks for your statement. I must commend you for bringing together the many members on the Steel Guitar Forum. The SGF is a veritable GOLD MINE for those seeking information from steel guitarists the world over.

I disagree with people who always disagree.

b0b sings in the choir, too?

Unfortunately in the 49'ers Goldrush days,
many an honest man with a pick axe was
shot dead leaving the mine.

I guess they just wing us occasionally here.

Hi Bill, nice to see you here and despite I cannot claim to be completely innocent of any slugfests, I agree with you 100%.

Bill Hankey · Post by **Bill Hankey** » 10 Jul 2006 4:50 am

David,

Debunking your assertions relating to 1849 ambushers who lurked around gold digging camps, would not be an easy task. The late LOUIS L'AMOUR, was the best selling frontier writer who elucidated countless times, the dread of becoming a victim of an ambusher's rifle. The intrepid individuals who hungered for a better life, were soon made aware of the risks involved, long before they drifted into the sights of a "claim jumper". However, analogizing links to a likeness in steel players, would obviously be regarded as a mere jest. I'm confident that you will agree, that this SGF offers information of great value.

I just can't tell for sure from the title, are you for or against Excel steels?
