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.

thats like asking someone to change their personality. cant be done.
you will notice that usually when somebody uses sarcasm or tongue in cheek you will see
one of these-------> :shock: :lol: :P :mrgreen: :wink: just after the remark.
sorry, im one that will poke a rib here and there as good clean fun.
a good example is me doing that to tim on his amp post. im pretty sure he got it in good taste. most of the time when something is taken wrong is when somebody reads something to fast, skips replies and doesnt fully understand where the conversation is currenty at, or already has their shorts in a bunch from something else in life other than the forum. all we can really do is police ourselves and hope our message comes across as intended. this is a forum, things will get misunderstood or taken the wrong way at some point anyways. the people on this forum are respectable, kind, and helpful always.
thats why this forum is the way it is, the people. we have a great bunch here that are very proud of this forum and do their best to contribute as often as possible.
i think respect and contribution are the two key words here, w/o them this forum wouldnt be 3/4 as good. the only way to ever make this forum any better than it is, if its even possible, is by addition of more people with restect and contributing.
ive found myself in a couple situations here that were on shakey grounds.
one is because i didnt word something in the right way and the OP thought i ment something different. after i reread my own reply it was easy to see where he go the idea i ment something else. i didnt think before i posted. it was infact my fault indeed.
the other was my opinion of something wasnt the opinion of another but it was settled rather quickly with respect. hey it happens. people shouldnt be looked upon by the situations they find themselves in but by the way they handle them.
i think we all do pretty damn good actually, and we all deserve to pat ourselves on the back for making this forum what it is. we all by doing what we do also make brads job a little easier. i know he doesnt want to have to come in here and put the hammer down.
by conducting ourselves like adults and policing ourselves and the issues that RARELY rise up, this forum will continue to grow and be a better place to be for it.

i'm going to be very blunt. i don't tweet or even text. i don't do facebook or have a myspace thingy. this forum is all of that stuff for me and i really enjoy it. the help, opinions and suggestions are far beyond what my simple mind ever imagined. the simple fact that i can communicate with so many like-minded folks is overwhelming at times.
i've seen stuff get nasty and it usually involves politics or religion. i have made the mistake of getting involved in those discussions. however, like said before, this site takes care of that before it gets out of hand. thanx brad.
all of you are like family members i've never met.
i thank you

Even the Political and Religious post seem to be kept civil and interesting with out getting out of hand. I see little wrong with them in that manner among Friends. There is no way so many are going to agree always, thats the spice of Life!!!!
The occasional hijack of a thread going nowhere keeps things interest why not, again spice of Life.

in reading this entire post im kinda confused where the OP might get the idea that we dont get along? i mean there have been two different post as of late that didnt even
get close to becoming anything, and thats pretty much all ive seen in my almost 1 yr here, unless i missed something.

Where's Vinnypop when you need him... that guy took a flogg'in from a lot of members... and at the same time he was posting about Virgin Mary apparitions and alien abductins, Beatles royalties and a '53 strat named 'Lonelyboy'

... and he still gathered a following. that guy is top dog in my books 8)

He could've solved the egypt crisis if he so wanted to.. he would've been jamming whale songs in the middle of the square :wink:

Seriously though- there is a family sense here..

maybe if anyone would like to join me on Face book- I'd be honoured if you just add your username to the request ;) http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=631643389

As long as you're aware that 50% of ppl won't get the joke ... no harm done.

I'm anyway a person without any kind of humour, so I never get jokes. Be warned.
:mrgreen:

I've sent Blertles a FB request too. I informed him that Fender user "Ceri" is in fact named... Ceri. Tricky of me, huh?

Anyway. You and I are already friends on FB, Nonni. :)

Cheers - C
