Music Business Critical of JaWar

The following music business correspondence is from a forum on the Soul Commune (SC) Site. I share the discussion with you to demonstrate that even in an attempt to add value, help others achieve their goals and realize their potential in the music business and make a net profit in the process I get criticized from time to time. Emerging recording artists, music producers/composers, singers and songwriters, etc. are not the only people in the music industry that face adversity and what we often call "haters."

Perhaps there is wisdom below that you may take and apply to your situation to increase the likelihood that you will achieve your goals, realize your potential and make a net profit in the process.

The forum topic is How did you find Soul Commune?

COMMENT MADE TO JAWAR

"JaWar I think you should be more truthful about your activity on other Ning sites. If my memories correct you got stung big time on coopr8. Before you ask, I'm a dj & a music lover.But you don't seem to understand your selling technique is glossy & hard core.You should understand if your into underground music like I am & like so many others are, you just don't fit.Sorry to be so harsh but that's the way you come across. Peace." Diamond

Diamond, you may want to look closer into my activity on this and other Ning Sites, perhaps after closer research you'll find that others have received my activity with a warm welcome as I have added value to their business and craft as emerging and aspiring recording artist, musicians, music producers/composers, djs, music business executives and so forth. Furthermore, because of my activity on a number of Ning sites more business is getting discussed, which inevitably will help the emerging music community.

It has been said that fish is good for memory, perhaps you may have some. In terms of a discussion on coopr8 there was/is one young lady who brought issue with me and she has been the only person thus far on that site. Futhermore, her argument was weak at best. She came to me, not me to her, just as you are. Additionally, you came on this forum entitled How did you find Soul Commune? If you are believing my selling technique to be glossy and hard core prior to this forum it would seem that the simple solution would have been simply not to respond to the forum in the second place.

It would appear on the surface that I am not into underground music like you are and like so many others. However, the lower sciences teaches us that we may arrive at a number of 1 in a number of ways. For instance (1+0=1, 2-1=1, 3-2=1, 1x1=1, etc.). The point here it to demonstrate that while on the surface we may not be into underground music the same way we may both have similar intentions on helping others achieve their goals and realize their potential. This of course is assuming that I am into underground music like you are.

The other side of the coin is you have some nerve and audacity to state "You should understand if your into underground music like I am & like so many others are, you just don't fit." What gives you the authority to think I should understand anything and that you hold the key to my approach to music in whole and underground/independent music in part and that I just don't fit.

In the future would be more tasteful, civil and business savvy to send a private message before attempting to put someone on blast in/on a public forum.

When you visit Music Industry Connection, myspace.com/jawarspeaks, myspace.com/gojawar and various Ning Music Sites you'll read the number of people who have benefited from the information they have been provided from my online and offline activity.

Until you share actual facts and not mere assumptions, accusations and opinions you could never be to harsh. :-)

Thank you for the constructive criticism. Perhaps we may both walk away better business people with more wisdom, overstanding and information than before this discussion started.

SPECIAL NOTE:
In fairness this music business blog was posted shortly after I responded to Diamond on Soul Commune, so he may or may not respond to me.
