You saw from the very beginning of your thread that you were approaching mixology in a completely more relaxed, more casual, and more fun way to yourself than what many others here have become fond of doing. Can you just come to grips with that and continue sharing what you're doing and discovering in your home bar? Please? Allow me to point out that I was one of the early posters in your thread to encourage you to do your own free-wheeling thing and just enjoy it. Subsequent posts began sharing other more historically and/or more technically correct approaches -- and there is nothing wrong with that, I think folks were just trying to help you out, since that's what so many who join TC end up doing. You did not head in that direction, and seemed to continue in your personal style and preference, and there is NOTHING wrong with that except that you never really came out and told others to back off and just let you share while rolling forward with your own more casual, less historical, and less technical style. Again, there is really NOTHING wrong with what you are doing. However you have chosen to share on a system with an audience of generally very experienced and fairly well-versed mixologists. Please get your mind around this and then continue posting to your heart's content. If I am ever a dick to you, please call me out for it. I have no desire to cause you grief, and I want to share what you're doing even if I have a different style. So have fun in your bar --- you know what you like, and that's perfectly fine with me. Don't let us discourage you, but please come to understand the reality of the others here who read your posts and who may comment on your approach, myself included. Otherwise you're just pissing into the wind and getting frustrated and mad. Cultivate friends here through sharing your unique personal perspective. We here can probably learn something from you because often it is us who need to be pulled out from some of our silly ruts. I hope you understand the spirit of what I tried to convey in these paragraphs... Now go have fun in your bar!!! :drink:
