I think I may have you all beat in terms of an experience at Unsung Composers. A user named semiloh started a thread about me on UC. I am a composer. And this Howe character absolutely went nuts. Even if I tried to post within the scope of what "Emperor Alan" supposedly said the scope was I got nothing but rude and condescending remarks. Know nothing about Howe but suspect that he may be typical of that ilk. A person with a musical degree and no talent to compose. I have almost no formal training, so I annoy people like Howe . Will be happy to share where my music can be heard if anyone is curious
I think I heard that he is a school teacher. I very much doubt that he has a musical degree. His technical knowledge seems rather limited.
