@smarty - there have been quite a number of banned people who create new accounts.  From reading earlier in the thread Richard's Guitars has been guilty of it as well.

If you want to see why people are so "paranoid" then read the JCollingridge thread in off topic.  The good side of that is that I would feel a lot more comfortable selling gear here than selling on Ebay.

Oh come on - don't try to justify it! So if someone new posts a sentiment that isn't "richard is a mentalist" - it's probably a bogus account? Can you not understand how crazy this is? 

Mentalist? Look into my eyes, not around my eyes, but into my eyes...

Jesus - what is this? 

I post on Richards forum as "martinjamesdaley". Look me up. I've had disagreements with Richard - again look it up. I've "known" Richard from the forum only - for a few years ....that's how I "know" him. 

Is this some some sort of test I have to pass to prove who I am? Could this get any more hostile or ridiculous?

I think the problem is that you've chosen a rather emotive thread to post your first words on the forum.

If you'd have started a 'I'm new and I'm looking for a new guitar' type thread then you would have got plenty of fairly innocuous replies. 

In fact, if you'd have posted a "Does Terry Morgan use a Vintage J20 when he's taking off from a conveyor belt on a flat earth to bomb chavs" thread you'd probably have got a less reactionary response..

We aren't generally paranoid, but some guys have been scammed here from 'members' before now and it's a pretty tight knit community where a lot of folks know each other IRL..

That's not to say it's cliquey tho - jump in and get stuck in - you'll find you're accepted pretty quickly as long as you aren't a dentist with a PRS

No dentist with a PRS, but a Civil Servant with a Tom Anderson (probably just as bad)! 

Nah - I'm done here, thanks anyway. I don't have time for this sort of site. I just wanna post here and there - not be called out for being an imposter. 

I cant see how I cancel my account? 

Once you join up, you can never escape. You're stuck with it.

I suggest you log on to youtube and do lots of research into conspiracy theories and socks. 

At the same time, sell everything you have ready to 'invest' in vintage gear, one of each of the main modellers, and a veritable EU mountain of pedals. 

And to be serious, you've just diffused a very difficult thread - you'd fit in perfectly here.

I'm not - how dare you suggest I'm a drama queen????? How could you?????

I never just fly off the handle at the first vaguely non-harmless comment ever!

@smarty I remember you from the old days of the other forum! Welcome! (And you are welcome, even if it's been a little bit baptism-of-fire...)

You can't leave, it's like Hotel California, though the mods will deactivate your account if you ask nicely @Ttony @monquixote ;;

That said, it *is* worth sticking around - it's good bunch here, you just have to avoid/ignore the occasional nutcase.

Hey sticky! Thanks for the welcome man! How are you?

How's that lovely Dove of yours? I've still got the Songwriter (still blows me away on a regular basis)!

Yeah, still got it, but I picked up a Martin HD28 in February so the Dove might be leaving the "flock" either to replace with something a bit more finger-picky or just to raise the funds that went on the Martin. Can't complain tho!
