Most of this has been well, well trodden in the previous nine pages, but:
I have been on the site for a while and have noticed a lot of members that have no input on anything besides ruffling feathers.
Who? Of the folks who are generally involved in the more debate-led threads, I'd struggle to name one that has no input elsewhere. But then I don't think any of them/us could be sensibly accused of "ruffling feathers" anyway.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The constant bickering is getting annoying. Especially on a guitar related forum.
It's hardly constant. Far, far from it. In recent times I can think of the bicycle thread the Ed Roman thread, this one and one that got onto faith. That's it.
Off-Topic has gone Off-Off-Off-Off-topic these days...
Can you have off-off-topic? Either it's about guitars or it's not, surely?
Ah, yes...what a surprise...
Thank you for ripping apart my post and questioning everything I feel.
Your first line says it all "Most of this has been well, well trodden in the previous nine pages, but"...
Funny, I did not realize there was a page limit for me to express my own comments.
It's remarks like this that are constantly surfacing on this forum. They have not it previous years.
True, members picked on each other and were offensive...but it was great and made for a more laid back "Pub like atmosphere"...but now you can't post without getting sarcastic remarks and your thoughts broken down and questioned. (yes, I know its not every single post but its getting worse)
I really mean no offense but your posts in particular to me have gotten more in your face..I use to enjoy reading your posts and ideas, but now its like your posts are...i'm right your wrong...and ...i feel this way, and if you don't your dumb...
maybe it's just me and i'm reading into this more than I should........
There is obviously no deadline as to when you must air your views by, but my point was that everything you've said has been discussed at some length in the thread and I think, for the most part, refuted - nobody here is only antagonistic and the more, say, volatile, threads are infrequent, they're just usually long and feature mostly the same well-informed, reasonable folks. They perhaps seem more common than they are because they remain near the top of the otherwise pretty quiet off topic forums for a while at a time and are oft filled with verbose posts.
As for ripping your post apart and questioning everything you feel, I responded to three points, clearly directed at me amongst others so I think I've every right, and I asked two specific questions pertinent to what you were saying. It's a forum, it exists for asking questions of each other when people state their ideas, no?
