I make sarcastic confusion towards people who take shots at others- It just confuses them. Much like that Drool thread..

He took a shot at floyd because of his spelling.. but there was irony in that itself

the more people you get together the better the chance you have of a post going slightly off color/topic for a moment. like it was said on another reply, we do a pretty good job at keeping ourselves in check. most sites have mods in there on patrol watching things with their fingers on the delete button.
we are lucky to have a sight like this, as in control as this one is. blessed even.

Yeah,y'all are punks....
now where is that little sarcastic face,or is it the funny face to show I'm joking?...I like this one

Come on people, Fight, War, Hate, all this superior indignation. “ get a grip “ to enter the vernacular…

Yes, I’m new and yes, after someone was less than polite to me I had a pop back but
“ all done in the best possible taste “ I assure you..
Stop taking yourselves so seriously. As someone said the best response to these horrible, cruel, awful people is to ignore them.. What do you think?
Replies on a postcard to.. Gibby’s Guitars, Magic World 1, Hurts My Ears Drive, Diddily, Diddily Land, UK. Peace and Love, Peace and Love oh God. I would put a smiley face here but don't know how...... On the spelling / grammar thing there but for thr grace of your God, go you..Think on that.

I might have inadvertantly conributed to the original poster's supposition with my Yngwie opinions. I both apologize and stand by my comments at the same time.

Riley, Floyd and Texas Guitar Slinger (I don't know her name) are like our kid brothers (and sister) or the kid that lives down the street who wants nothing more than to be respected and to learn more about guitar/music/etc., just as we did at that age.

It ticks me off when a person (regardless of age) is disrespected while they are sincerely seeking knowledge is lambasted ("Fender Tuner" topic is a good example). We've all been a bit intimidated by new technology (or even the proper things to do with our instruments, when we first started playing) and asked a naive question. Help them, and they'll help someone else later.

All and all, though, this forum isn't a big urination contest like so many others (I won't say which one, but it rhymes with "Ribson"). We're fairly polite.

everybody is all worked up about the fender tuner question. are you serious?
lets go back and look at the question again and the title of the topic.

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=50474&hilit=fender+tuner

the title alone says it all. "would it be a sin........"
i really dont think he was serious as its read.
"would it be a sin to tune a nonfender guitar with the fender tuner"
i honestly dont think this was serious. i think he was joking, so my
replies in the topic were as i took the topic itself, A JOKE.

Here you go.

Two times I have written a post that has been "misunderstood" recently, and taken to a diffrent direction than I orginally intended, like my post with the picture from Fox where they put Egypt in Iraq. That post became somehow a political disscusion about how bias news agencies are. And some of the posts were... shall we say "less than friendly", and sadly I particpated .

But in all this forum is really friendly comparing to many other posts and I think that we can be proud of that.

thank you, found it just as you posted.
i see something get a little off on that post and the members bringing it back under control. thats what i saw. look at the positive's guys. here again we policed the forum as members and got things back on the straight and narrow.
thats gonna happen on a forum. what should be looked at is how quickly it was brought under control, something you dont see on every forum, but its seen here.
again the positive's people.

That's right!

I stumbled upon this Forum by accident researching some technical issue or other. I've stuck around because of the overwhelmingly friendly feeling here. When occasionally things get angry and nasty I take a quiet vacation. It's always settled down by the time I get back...

This is the only forum I've ever been involved in. I did look at a certain other guitar forum once (not the one that rhymes with "ribson"). There was a thread where people were arguing page after page about whether the blues scale should include a sharpened fourth or a flattened fifth. To my amazement post after post was people screaming at each other in the foulest possible language in support of one view or the other. I just couldn't believe how vicious they were being over such a silly thing. Somewhere around page five a mild-mannered guy came along and politely suggested that a sharp fourth might be the very same thing as a flat fifth. Immediately everyone turned on him like a pack of slavering wolverines and tore him to pieces with insults, to his complete bewilderment. Then they went back to happily shrieking in each other's faces.

I didn't sign up for that forum!

- C

EDIT: grammar - wouldn't want to get shouted at for that...!

thank you ceri.
there is no problems here ceri. thats just the facts.
i mean on or two slight "issues" and here we are. as a group a couple members quickly reacted and brought that little puff of smoke under control, not even that, a spark.
even on a forum with folks like we have here something somewhere will get unsettled from time to time. i focus not on the spark or pizzing match but how quickly its brought under control. thats where the true shine of this topic really is.
the more we do the less Brad has too. this in a way is his pet project, and our home. we have something truely to be proud of here. sure we laugh and cut up, yes there are a few disagreements, hey thats with any family right? great bunch of folks here, a forum truely to be proud of and be a member of. is this place one of a kind, no, but it is a rare
situation because theres not many around like this one. be proud folks and stop bringing the little things to light. they say where there is smoke there is fire. yeah but around here, where there is smoke there are people putting it out.

When I read the post regarding the "Fender Guitar Tuner" I took it as a joke or my response would probably have been different. Anyway this is a good forum and I think everyone on here is pretty civil.

Irony/sarcasm are not really a good idea in an online board. Most people can't read between the lines, and some are not native english speakers.

Cheers
