And you Carl: What are you going to do? You are already moderating my messages in the tuning group. Are you going to ban me? Big deal if you do. This group appears to be the refuge of untalented musicians who happen to be mathematicians. Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic. You should be ashamed of yourselves. But perhaps you are so insensitive of the real issues of microtonal music that you are ignorant of what you are doing.

Did I miss some kind of conflict?

I even missed the original posting. I'm guessing that when he saw the group was (according to its name and description) a math group, he assumed that as a genuine musician, he would find it easy to understand. He was puzzled and dismayed to learn he also needed to know at least some math.

Can anyone explain why tuning theory attracts so many cranks, by the way?
