No, davey, this is what you said

If you cant play metal in A-440 you shouldnt be allowed to play guitar

no you dont need your guitar in Drop-Z ... just learn to play properly. and no, i dont buy the 'it sounds more brutal' or whatever point you're trying to make

THE END

And it doesnt say anything about you being annoyed that people dont set their guitars up for detuning. Its being annoyed at detuning in general. "If you cant play metal in A-440 you shouldnt be allowed to play guitar" suggests a limited view of what is and isnt metal. You really CANT play some of it, actually, a lot of it, in standard or drop D. it would sound as gay if you did as playing detuned with 10s sounds muddy.

That's YOUR *judgement* on why people down tune. If it makes them happy there is no reason why they shouldn't.

I can't be bothered to argue it, but I agree with Davey's principle.
He probably phrased it in a humourous manner as it is easier to laugh at what annoys you than to let it get to you

Six pages of argument.  And for once it had nothing to do with Telecasters, at least until the last page.
