Hey, I banned myself from slidemeister many years ago because the
super-narrow focus of the allowed discussion there did not meet my
needs as a musician.

Subject: [Harp-L] my issue with slidemeister
My issue with slidemeister goes beyond separation of diatonic and
chromatic forums. Diatonic sounds on a chromatic might have easily
been, Playing a nasty blues on chromatic. Either way it's chromatic
discussion.
The root of the problem is that 'diatonic' is a dirty word on the
forum. That can easily extend to the blues and other topics, such
as miking and amps and such. The owner really doesn't want any of
these topics showing up on the chromatic boards. I have also heard
that he doesn't welcome all of the altered tuning threads that have
been happening recently.
My protest was not about discussing diatonics on the chromatic
board, as I don't play diatonics. My protest is that slidemeister
wants limit discussion that doesn't fit into it's idea of what the
chromatic should be.
Of course they have the right to have any kind of site they want.
Just don't call it, A place for all things chromatic, unless you
mean it.
