I think the issue is a bit overblown. When @Eli posted that the piece presented sounded ‘soulless’ to him, he didn’t want to offend any person. He talked about his impressions regrading a piece of code and that’s ok for me. Also, he contributed his version of the piece to demostrate what could be improved.
I can also understand that our latest attempts to explore the limits in the sky for Sonic Pi is interesting to some but not to all of the members (like turning math formulas into sound or make a Git repo playing piano). And the feedback from people having their roots in solid deep/hardcore/… house is always valuable because this makes you reflect about what you are doing.
Last but not least @Eli also expressed his respect for the people doing this hard-to-understand-stuff, see e.g. this post.
So, my proposal is to continue our very enriching discussion, accept critical remarks as long as they are not adressed to the people but pieces of music offered for discussion in the forum.
Finally, I think for many people being a member in such a lovely forum as this one and being a creative SPi musician helps to cope with problems in live outside. We should not easily use the flag mechanism or even kick people out.
