Maybe you’re unaware of basic human psychology, but generally speaking, harassing people makes them strongly dislike you.
Like a magnet in reverse.
My advice would be to get off Open Mic, go meditate (perhaps while practicing your music) and let go of your sense of entitlement to get your integrity back into the center of your being, then come back with an open, grateful heart and share in our community.

Yep, I'm pretty sure that's how that works. LOL

isn’t it obvious that sharing music and meeting other like-minded creators is, not only what this open mic stuff is about, but just good old fun to partake in?

You definitely get what Open Mic is about. We're supposed to be having fun here folks.

Sure have been loving your music and energy @nathankaye and can't wait to hear what you do next.
