You have never left us anything else, save plabreastudes and generalities, to go on.

No, I have no doctrine that would apply here, other than "all your music should get played with taste." Given that you have refused to answer rather specific questions about the nature of the offenses you've taken, it appears that you reject the notions of tasteful playing.

No, big words do not make me feel "jealous, threatened and insecure." Their unnecessary use just rankles as a point of style. On which points I have the agreement of, at a very minimum, both Twain and Churchill, both of whom you claim to admire.

Not at all. I've proposed various elements, which nearly all would agree would never fit in the settings described, and you'd neither agreed that those wouldn't fit (and wouldn't sound like the sorts of things you'd play) nor said that those sorts of things resemble what's gotten you bawled out.

from the standpoint of the bar, it's supposed to have a sound to draw crowds - play too weird, or generate hostility on stage, and you'll still act like a crowd magnet, but of the same polarity with the crowd)

Other than bringing people IN.

I think I've showed nothing other than your status as a 1-trick pony, who only complains that they won't let you play what you want at an open-mic night, but won't share the particular nature of your offense, and won't deign to answer suppositions as to the nature of the offense (as in the sorts of things you tried to play that got nixed), leaving us to buttume you never intended to play something that fits, but would instead rather bring bagpipes to a piano recital.
