I don't know what you see as "chip community", but it seems like a very, very small subset of the actual global, real life scene, to make that statement.

In response to you and PlainFlavored, I should have clarified: I meant the Message Board/IRC community, mostly. I mean, half the people I see in these kinds of threads are definitely living in glass houses. Also to be clear: I don't think PlainFlavored is a glass-house dweller.

And yeah, the "real life" scene has been completely different for me. Everyone has been exceedingly friendly, supportive, and helpful. And that's only what I've seen on the East Coast of the US, it doesn't include the incredibly large global community that I've never experienced.

I should have made that clear, but I'm not going to include that disclaimer in every single post ever made on this forum, even though it's applicable in almost every single post ever made on this forum.

That's not the chip community, that's the online fuck-aphernalia sad
From your message I also assume I am a glass house dweller

Ah, so the idea is that most people think that they're self-congratulatory, sometimes sarcastic assholes? In other words, they're like 90% of the chip music community, except people actually want to listen to their tunes?

The difference is that Nick (I'll leave Jack out of this as he is a respectable, nice fellow) takes himself seriously whereas when most other people in this scene act like assholes it's all in good fun.

A staggering majority of people that I've met on behalf of chipmusic have been kind, humble, generous individuals who can take a joke and can accept criticism without taking it personally.

Essentially, the idea is that in this life people will shit on you and you have to learn how to keep your cool without submerging yourself in a sea of butthurt.

Bikeless Boy is talking like he knows Jack and I.
