Location: south east Michigan | This morning I did go back and apologize for using the term "idiot", then went and fired a couple shots across the bow.
Unless I'm directly addressed, I'm about done over there.
Now Moody.... You are testing the line over there. That the moderators have not stepped in already means that "we" have a point to make. The true test will be when they read the "Hitler" thing.
Paul... I think pushing it until you get banned is not a real good idea. I don't think it would help the cause any.
And admit it... we'd be going nuts too if it was happening over here. In fact... I'll bet we'll get some troll activity in the near future. Be ready. Let's not buy into it.
I don't think we are being trolls over there yet, but it's getting close.
Omaha.. "Walkin' into some tall corn"... I like that one. |

We don't want to attract any trolls here and have to deal with that later. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Good. I was just about to join in, but couldn't decide between "LawyerMark" or "MarkJD". I played a Rodriguez nylon again last night. I guess I just don't care for the light, small sound of those Spanish guitars. I went home and played my 1713. I liked it a lot better.
And if you guys want to fight--I like the Folklore better than the FD-14--come and get me. |

If I may be so presumptuous as to make a suggestion, I propose you post the clips, then give everyone a day or to to publicly say which guitar is which. Then spring the truth on them. |

Location: SoCal | The only thing that bothers me about it are the "nice" people who want him to stay. Life's too short to deal with people like that.
By the way, I just exchanged emails with Dan Gabel, another of the moderators and the (and I'm quoting because I'm actually kinda impressed with this title) Group Publishing & Editorial Director, Acoustic Guitar. He didn't like the Hitler analogy, asked me not to do that again, but was very nice about it. Confirms what I've always thought about the crew at Acoustic Guitar -- they seem to be a class act, which is why I just renewed my subscription for another 2 years.
He didn't ask me to leave the board. |

Location: SoCal | One last thought stemming from the ruckus on the other board. I really appreciate this board almost more than I can say. It's a group of extremely intelligent, humorous, generous, kind, loving, free thinking individuals, with widely different views on politics, religon, guitars, and everything else you can imagine. But as different as we all are (and nobody's more differnt that Clifford except maybe the multiple personalities of Dave) we all work to get along. That's a rare combination.
We don't suffer fools gladly here and they don't last long. DrDave would be shot done here in a day.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this place and all of you people. This is my neighborhood pub (to steal somebody else's analogy) and I love it here. I can't tell you how much I love this place, but I suspect I don't have to. Most of you feel the same way.
Time to think about getting some sleep. Good night, and may the good news by your news..... |

A hearty +1, Paul. More group hug.  We all love each other here.
Except those people who play Taylors. Some don't like them. Me, I don't mind, if other people spend their money on wood boxes that keeps the Ovation prices down for me. |

After discussing the issue by email with Teja, who has decided that I instigated the problems with the Ovation thread, I am resigning from the acoustic guitar list. Wow... the moderator called him out on it. |

I really had to restrain myself from posting on his goodbye thread. Something like "AMF!" or FOAD, something subtle like...
bye. |
