Whither Moms Mobley? With an "O"?

[Teasing the Korean]

She stopped posting here several years ago.

Before she was Moms Mabley, she posted under another handle that I've forgotten.

Anyway, I miss her provocative posts.  I hope she is doing well.

Moms MObley. Some difference ...

"She" is a he, and his member name is Moms Mobley. He used to be Clementine. Unlike you, I do not miss his incendiary contributions to the board. Your occasional provocations are more than plenty for me.

Thank you.  Moms Mobley, a.k.a. Clementine.  Either way, I miss her, and I enjoyed her contributions.  I hope she comes back.

How do you know?  Have you asked her for her preferred pronouns?

He's on my "ignore" list.

I've had enough off-line interactions with his person and his other work, that's how I know.

He still posts here every so often, I hope he's ok in real life. He lives in Coco Central, so...

I like him and what he brings, even if it does sometimes piss me off in style. The substance is almost always good.

OK, thanks.  I came across him when I found my "Mike Nesmith is More Important than Gram Parsons" thread, and he agreed with me.

I don't have anyone on my ignore list.  The most obnoxious posters are often the most knowledgable and thought-provoking.

The most obnoxious posters are the most pseudo-knowledgeable and the least thought provoking.

Exactly.  And the best musicians are also the nicest people.  That is why you should unload your Miles Davis and James Brown albums.

I Know who he is. He sometimes publishes under his real name but hiding behind  the pseudonyms he often wrote misogynist bullshit. And at least once it was aimed at a friend of mine.

Oh. That's not cool.

I thought TTK was Moms. Shows what I know.

And, wasn’t Clementine DEEP?

nope.

[Larry Kart]

Danny Imperio was DEEP. And I thought Clementine/Moms was professional Brooklynite Brain Berger.

 

[David Ayers]

So who is TTK?

[Brad]

This is a rather peculiar thread.

Or at least Brian something. Definitely a Brooklynite, and back in the day some of the cognoscenti addressed him as "Brian".

[Added] After googling, yeah, probably Berger. As much as one can be sure of the identity of anyone posting on the Internet.

Someone on this forum once theorized that Clem/Moms = "Gio", the prolific Amazon reviewer whose reviews of Renaissance polyphony CDs I've often read. I consider that improbable but hey, it's the Internet, so by no means out of the question.

I was the one who thought for a while that he was GIO on Amazon, who has led me to lots of good stuff in the early music area and saved me from much bad stuff, but when I looked more carefully at the long list of activities and hobbies that GIO was into based on his very long list of Amazon purchases (semi-professional or maybe professional early music bassoonist), long distance bike rider, Civil War buff, etc.) I decided that GIO could not be Clementine/Moms. OTOH, there was something about GIO's at times rather abrasive, know-it-all form of address that did bring Clem/Moms strongly to mind. Also, IIRC, GIO seemed to be based in the San Francisco area.

Clemobley has rode a bike once or twice in his life from what I understand.
