I was there, and heard of some of the stuff that went on, but I did getr more information into what went on later, when I became close friends with 'this woman'. Also, I was just mentioning that I have had great experiences with Omnibus, and I have no problems with pat, but he does tend to have a see-saw of a reputation. In the shows I was in with him (which, with him as producer was only really a couple) he made every effort to accomodate me and help me have a good time.

Perhaps, but i never maintained that that was 'my view'. I was merely pointing out the fact of the controversial reputation that Pat appears to have. From what I have heard there wasn't any of the other partners involved, and it was a direct question at the distrort woman... But I am not one hear to nail the last nail in Pat's coffin. If you reread my post 90% of it was talking about my good experiences with Omnibus and pat, and only 10% pointed this other thing out... It was not my intention for it to sound very negative or whatever. I am simply putting my opinion across like everyone else.

As for my view being distorted, I don't believe that there is anything to distort. I enjkoyed my times at Omnibus, and Pat was very good to me when I was sick during a couple opf the shows. I am my own person adn don't let others influence my views just because of my relationships with them. If this was the case I would be mentally insane because some people I know have some very weird, let alone contradictory to my beliefs, ideas about things...

Here here. If you read like the third last sentance it said that any company willing to put on WA shows with WA casts is ok by me. I did not post to continue on in the Down with Music Spectrum campaign. I came to give my view of my times with Pat. I enjoyed all the shows I did with them, and liked everyone who was involved in Omnibus. These people helped me develop in ways I would have never imagined.

Agreed. Slander/libel is serious and facts should be straight first. Maybe next time before getting on at me for three or four sentances in my post, may I request that you read the rest of my post and please atleast acknowledge me on the fact that I said I enjoyed my times at Omnibus and I love it when WA shows are cast with WA people.

Thanks
