Savant?


Could well be.

Didn't actually like the piece at all (never been one for Tchaikovsky), but the sheer amount of skill he has is phenomenal and he really handles the piece beautifully. Very very nice.

Sounds exactly like Tchaikovsky played on bicycle horns.
Now that I'd like to see.

For the record, this is Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D, Op. 35, 3rd Movement.

I think its clear that you instigated the trolling
For example your comment is aimed directly at sumone accusing them of something, my comment on this mans lack of a penis is not only absurd it is not directed at anyone.
My comment is ether Inane or humorous possibly offensive if you have lost your penis , But it is not trollish

Your comment on the other hand is a Direct targeted accusation that is not absurd, your type of comment is far more likely to get a response, and well calling sum one a troll is not exactly constructive and would almost require a response for clarification.
This is why i believe your comment to in fact be more "trollish" than my comment.


ok, ok, sorry westy. you're not a troll, you're just an idiot.
