Rob Chapman working with Thomann now?

To be fair he is a father so he can get away with dad jokes now.

That, presumably, is because you haven't invested the couple of minutes necessary to discover what it actually is.

If someone puts themselves out there as much as he does, he's bound to attract detractors as well as devotees.

Yes, but it’s the most boring shit in the world to read time after time. He exists, he’s a guitarist, he’s on YouTube, he makes a living from being a guitarist on YouTube.

Get over it. 

And if people criticised the output of that rather than just concentrate on the man himself then all would be well.

Agreed. As I’ve said before, I like him as a person. I dont care a huge amount for the demo videos he does but I’ll admit to watching the other content when the mood takes me. 

I’d be happy to sit and shoot the breeze with him over a few drinks, he seems like he’d be easy to have a laugh with.

You're right. I just don't care enough to waste my highly valuable time. I'm far too busy watching cat videos on Youtube.

Maybe we should have a rule forbidding Andertons videos altogether to prevent the appalling backlash they provoke.

Ban videos from a retailer being posted here because a few folk can’t keep their monotonous opinions to themselves?

Watching a Rob Chapman thread is like watching a propane tank that someone has thrown on a bonfire. When is it going to blow? ..... now? ...... NOW?    The tension is unbearable but you can't look away.

Or, y'know, folk could decide that they don't need to rush to declare their hatred for somebody they've never met every time his name's even hinted at.

That might work too

Maybe you should just stick to the forum rules, or start your own forum with its own rules.

I don't hate him... Good luck to him I say.. 

But he does look awfully smug in the video still (quite rightly really)...  But to look even more smug than Carl Weathers at the end of Predator is quite a feat..

After all these years I'm yet to understand what the poor bloke has actually done wrong.

Rules are for the guidance of wise men but for fools to follow.

Absolutely.
I'd go even further and ban all retailer videos because of the violent reactions they trigger.

My problem is that as a chunky well spoken white guy with a beard & glasses. I often get disturbed by how similar he looks to me. His beard has grown thank fuck. But a while ago we did look too close for comfort.

Calling it hatred is a bit of a stretch.
I see it more as good natured gentle mockery.
I certainly don't hate anyone.
It's lighthearted and some people are taking it all way too seriously.
