Not exactly struggling then are you? I'll take that i can add you on to the list that agrees with his statement then?

So answer this question: do you think it's ok for someone on a forum like this to demonise and slag off a whole group of people at a stroke, many of whom are impoverished due to no fault of their own?

If you think it's ok then that's fine, it says everything about you morally that anyone would need to know.

Answer the question yes or no.


YES :twisted: mwahahahaha :P

Honestly though. everyone has a different perspective on life and people say hurtful things, but get over it.... If you still have a personal beef with the guy, that is your business and that's what PM's are for. but dragging up old news to start yet another confrontation is part of the problem we are discussing. when the whole board is telling you the STFU its about time to drop it and go sulk in a corner. we ALL know what you think, so just let it go already............

but In the end WE cant stop you, just like you can't stop me from giggling about it :lol:

Hi guys. Regarding Brad: I believe he thinks he's Director of IT at the world's leading guitar manufacturing company - not an online child minder. I've a feeling his idea is that if you want people to behave like adults you have to treat them like adults, which means as much as possible leaving them to sort it out for themselves when they get cross with each other. He seems to treat his role as "thread locker of last resort".

I like his style! :D

There's a simple answer to all of this. Be friendly; be nice!

It nearly always works.

Cheers - C

I nominate Ceri for assistant moderator. Even if its not official, we can still as a group follow his decisions. Like we elected him mayor of fender town.
I see him trying to remain neutral more than anyone. And he is always calm and composed.

Uh-hu - not in a million years. Beyond that I don't want to commit myself. :D

Truly, we all come here to share stuff as equals, not hold delete buttons over each other's heads. Don't we?

However, the good news is the Forum has always had a Sand Pit / Naughty Corner / Play Area... whatever you want to call it. It is named: HarmonyCentral.com.

That's where the rude words belong! :lol:

Cheers guys - C

I clicked magic "happy" button on Gorgon a few weeks ago because he was being such a troll, throwing comments out there just to antagonize but now you guys are quoting him so I'm ending up seeing the contents of his airline barf bag anyways. :lol:

To Gorgon: I'm not going to read your response to me (blissfully) so you can say whatever vile thing you like about me but the truth is YOU are the kind of person that makes this kind of thread neccessary. You don't fit in here. Nobody agrees with you. All you ever seem to do is try to exasperate people. You stir people up and make them respond to you with disdain, contempt and even anger sometimes. You bring out the worst in some people and you seem to have very little positive to offer ... that I've ever seen anyways. Please explain to this crew just exactly why you are here. Are you here to learn? If you are then you should know that you can't listen while you're busy talking, talking, talking about your own little personal demon issues that are way off-topic. If all you care about is X then you're never gonna learn about Y. That's a fact and you need to "get" that. Are you here for the camaradarie? Well, you're doing a fantastic job of making enemies instead of friends ... so that's not really working out very well for you, is it? Somehow I don't think those last two options are the real reason you are here. I suspect you are here because you feel a need to be the lone voice of dissention and strife. I suspect you're one of those guy who likes to kick ant hills just to see what will happen. Like a child. If the sole purpose for your presence here is to try to "correct" us because we are all out to lunch then please just leave. Quietly. Without a fuss. Thanks.

Yah, well, I've adopted a new attitude lately. I'm not going to suffer the idiots their say any longer. I'll call them out once, maybe twice and then I click the happy button. Life is too short to let idiots take up a single second of my time.

It might be THIS time but what happens after that? These people can't be satisifed. They're not happy until we're not happy.

Where to start. I personally don't believe that EVERY post is read by someone at Fender, let alone Brad. Whenever he gets a complaint, he deals with it, as someone mentioned earlier.

Gary, you've shown the kind of man you are, you're the bigger man here. i don't agree with you on the apology, because i don't think you were wrong.

Now that's just my opinion. I'm not interested in a battle of words or insults from anyone who doesn't agree.

A few years ago there was a rash of nasty posts to newbies, in the Bass Forums. I'm sure some of you may remember. lots of tears, wailing and sobbing. It was ridiculous, but in the end, IT stopped some of the newbies still roam around here and became bassists.

in the event of a continued assualt, I can see that the majority of the members who expressed their opinions, will see to it that Mr. Traweek will get involved.

In closing, all I can say is, classy move Gary.
