Dan Gould Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 since I upped this thread, Rooster continues to ignore it. I figured that making a flippant comment that he's upping so many other threads, here's another would draw him out, but I can only conclude that he is both shameless and hopeless. Hopeless because I don't believe he will ever post answers. Shameless because, all things considered, I don't know who else would screw things up so royally, post a lame "explanation," ("I still haven't sent out all the discs", as if anyone who hasn't received his BFT really cares anymore, and to hell with the people who DID receive it and bother to post their guesses, they can wait some more) STILL never fulfill his obligation, and yet has no problem being an active member of the board. Personally, if I were in his position, I wouldn't show my face until I'd fulfilled my obligations. I'd be too embarassed to. But that's just me.

MartyJazz Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 To John B and Dan G: RT said that he'd post by August and if one looks at the Master List, sure enough RT is scheduled to do a second BFT in August.........2007. So have patience. Seriously, I have rarely, if ever, witnessed this kind of inconsiderate behavior in someone who professes to love this music. Normally, generosity and sharing, particularly of information, are attributes that are well manifested among jazz lovers. Oh well, there's nothing wrong with your thinking Dan. If for any reason I behaved as badly as RT, I too wouldn't show up in any other forum within Organissimo. I think all of us here feel the same way. We're mystified and also somewhat disappointed at the behavior of one of our members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 The Rooster is a friend of mine (and of Spontooneous and Eric as well) and although I don't see him often enough to know all that is going on with him, I did recently ask why he hadn't posted his answers and he assured me he would do so soon. He obviously hasn't yet done so, and I am as mystified as the rest of you as to why. It doesn't seem like such a big deal to simply post the answers, I'm not sure why he hasn't. I can only ask that we try to cut him yet some more slack, and I will send him an email and try to find out what's going on. He has really been a valuable member going back to the BNBB, and I hate to see him squandering all the "credit" he has earned by screwing up in such an unnecessary way. I understand that people are pissed and I don't blame them. For his sake I hope we can resolve this soon and we can welcome him back with forgiveness- he's really a pretty nice guy.......

John B Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 For his sake I hope we can resolve this soon and we can welcome him back with forgiveness- he's really a pretty nice guy....... Speaking for myself I harbor no ill will towards RT and hope he contributes to the board for years to come. He is a valuable member here and this BFT should in no way cause people to want him to stop posting. (I still want to read the answers soon, however.)

mikeweil Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 He obviously had some bad luck all along with his BFT - he was covered up in work when was to send the discs, and so on - shit happens, and when the answers are posted, I won't lose one more word about it. But I want them. If he'd just tell what's the game it would make it easier to stay patient. Just a simple list with only the basic info would be sufficient. Or has he lost his list?

MartyJazz Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Face it. We'll have victory in Iraq before we see the answers to this BFT. I feel so justified in not ever having listened to these BFTs when I got them. Since they arrived so very late and I had agreed to make copies for two of my Florida compatriots, I was so disgusted that I simply made one set of copies for one recipient and gave my "originals" to the other guy. Therefore I have no curiosity. While so many of you upheld your end of the bargain by listening attentively and offering your responses, I feel for you. But it's time to just chalk this BFT up to a very bad experience and move on. Time heals all wounds and wounds all heels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 (edited) I will post the answers before the end of this (2005) calendar year. I've gotten more truly ugly PM's about this than I care to mention, or get into the details of. Same with my bungling of the initial distribution. Let's all just agree to agree that I've been in the wrong in my actions (or inactions) on practically all counts related to this entire mess, and leave it at that. I'll post the answers within 30 days. Peace. Edited December 1, 2005 by Rooster_Ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 The Woody Shaw CDs are sure great though.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDK Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I can't fathom why people are so upset about this. Water under the bridge, guys. Yeah, I'm curious about the answers, too, but I can't say I've ever lost sleep about not getting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Here'a an idea: Rooster, if you have the track data saved on your copy of the CD, why not just upload it to CDDB and then folks can access the answers from there? I inadvertently discovered this method when noj was able to download the tracks from my Christmas BFT which I had saved to CDDB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyJazz Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Relax. RT said he'd post the answers before the end of this calendar year. He still has a lot of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster_Ties Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) You know, a few days ago - someone privately suggested to me that I just PM the answers only to the people that actually posted guesses about the contents of BFT25. But his real point was this: that you -- catesta -- have publicly heaped on more shit on me than anyone else, about me posting the answers. And yet, you -- catesta -- made NO effort to even post one guess about anything in BFT25. So kindly fuck off, catesta. I'll post them when I damn well please (before the end of 2005), and I'd appreciate not hearing one more damn word out of you -- catesta -- about this matter.

catesta Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) Relax RT, I'm just breaking balls. But since you brought it up..... I could give a fuck about your answers at this point and never really gave a fuck. I'm only kidding around because you keep setting deadlines for yourself and not sticking to them. Digging yourself in deeper, dig? And you're right I didn't post my guesses. I didn't post them after you sent me a set of discs, but I had to copy multiple sets and mail back ACROSS the fucking country to Massachusetts when I was in Arizona. I didn't think that was all too cool. You complained about lack of time, bullshit little historic house tours and all this other crap, and you still relied on a shit load of us to help copy and distribute. Nobody is that busy. Or are they? Maybe I was just to fucking busy to post guesses to a blinfold test that still to this day has had no conclusion. I'll post them (my guesses) when I damn well please (before the end of 2006). Why don't you PM the answers to just the people that posted guesses? That should only take a matter of minutes. And, if you really believe that I heaped on more shit than anyone else, maybe you should re-read the posts. I suggest you learn to laugh about this, I was just having some fun at your expense.

Rooster_Ties Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 To the rest of you -- I appreciate your patience. I'll post the answers (publicly), probably New Years Eve (as I'm working all this week, including all day Saturday). Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 So let me get this straight: A bunch of people got a bunch of music for free (in violation of a whole slew of copyright issues, I'm sure) and are pissed off because they don't know what the tracks are? Mind if I call the whaaaaaa-bulence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
