Guitar players logic

If something is new, the older it looks the better. If something is old, the newer it looks the better.

What is that all about?

It's the same approach I take to women.

If a thread has been done to death, start another one.

If it's hardly been talked about, dig up an old one...?

Sassafras

We weren't best pleased when our new baby looked like a 90 year old.
So bang goes your logic.

Have you heard the one about the Relic-loving, Remoaner, who doesn't like Trump, doesn't like Nicola Sturgeon, thinks all expensive things are rubbish, that anyone who disagrees is wrong, wants another tFBer to have another (this time fatal) heart-attack, thinks everything in the classifieds he can't afford is too dear and wants to have a referendum on it?

Welcomd to the Fretboard....

Made a lot of money from the film though, so all's well that ends well.

You missed out theFBer that [hated/loved] vintage, and [hated/loved] relics, and also [hated/loved] modellers but also [hated/loved] real valve amps.

(delete as appropriate, then have an epiphany and delete the other, and then have another re-epiphany, sell all your gear and go back to a [strat/tele/les paul] and a [princeton reissue/bandit])

I should have gone on to say, 'For sale - the best amp I've ever heard - my Lazy J 20, specially built for me by Jesse with rhino horn and freshly harvested elephant ivory. You all know how great these things sound - which is why you never see any of the 4 that have been made for sale. I'm only selling it as I've come to realise I deserve something worse. Bargain at twice what I paid for it'.

And don't forget the ones that think Epiphanies are better than Gibsons.

And my 'Epi-phoney' was realising a Strat is as good as an LP is as good as an SG. For different things, of course.

Depends. What kind of wood was used for the barrel?

You know, maple gives you more laughs but mahogany gives you much deeper laughs.

opinion based, factless 'discussions' here, go on for days with no recourse or end. its great.

the same level of argument (non guitar related)t at home, always results in me loosing and not getting laid for a while!

Can we get some sort of anti-misogyny policy on this forum please? Can a moderator please DM me. I've seen this sort of shit every day since returning here and I'd like to be a part of this community but this is putting me off. If there's no intention to weed out this crap then I won't return.

Assuming you're serious, you need to flag the post to draw it to the mods' attention. 

Don't be surprised if nothing is done - the aim of those in charge is to moderate lightly - so only something completely outrageous is likely to result in action being taken.

This place is dryer than the Sahara at times, if we go all politically correct then we may as well all go and buy a PRS and talk about dental hygiene and contract law.

Yep, no logic when it come to gas.  

Sassafras

I think it's outrageous and completely unacceptable that just anybody can come onto these forums and express opinions as well as attempting humour.

Rather than replying via PM, I'll put the reply here for all to see and consider.
 
Firstly, we don't really do "policies" here.

1.  We have no interest in writing them.
2.  99.9% of people here would have even less interest in reading them.
3.  The remaining 0.1% would delight in taking up days of our time debating whether the second comma in para 3 should really be a semi-colon.

We do have defined "rules" (and behaviours) though, and rule1 guides most of our decision-making re interpreting the rest of our rules.

Secondly, our explicit aim has always been that the community be as self-moderating as possible.  Hence the flag system.  If (when) someone breaks any of the rules, flag it.  We look at all flagged posts.  That expresses your opinion.  If enough people express the same opinion, or if the breach is (in our opinion) sufficiently obvious, then we generally intervene.  That approach *does* work, and we can evidence it working here.

And finally, this is a forum for guitarists.  Our members are predominantly male, and the content reflects that.

My own experience is that I've seen far more extreme and commonplace misandristic (sp?) comments on websites that serve a predominantly female community than I've seen misogynistic comment here.  

That leads me to conclude that womenkind is not some delicate endangered species that must only ever read and hear kind things said about it if it is to survive.
