No way, I was joking all along and really agree with Lee's 90/10 rule.
It is unquestionable that tone comes 90% from the fingers. |

There's no apostrophe in 'sees'.
If you try a putdown, please try to get it completely right as it loses impact. |

Jeez Louise  . Wasp, did I care that you didn't make proper use of the subjunctive and have made the wrong choice of homophone in previous postings   No, I didn't; it's the least of their problems. Besides, there's the risk of coming off like a smug, pretentious buttock going down that route. Glasshouses, stones, big bill from glazier. |

I had the misfortune to have to read it, though. Pointing out an errant apostrophe as a "ha, one up to me" item is the text equivalent of wearing a shirt-pocket protector. Sometimes, we talk about guitars on the forum  . I read enough about grammar in the daytime, thanks.
Seeing as this thread is mostly a panfight with a sub-plot of fingertips and pedals, it's a good place to discuss the disagreement arising from MJW's thread. I plan to delete my last post there as you have seen it:
| Quote: | | Please, Wasp, resist the temptation to chase other threads and pointscore. It is called "hijacking", and a tad rude to the thread originator. |
and you replied:
| Quote: | The advice had been acknowledged as complete. I did not step in 'mid-thread', so there was no aspect of rudeness implemented. So I do not acknowledge your point
It is strange and extremely contradictory that someone can pad a thread out for days with information that throws easily influenced people into turmoil - you yourself replied to one such person. This is then laughed off as a joke - I make a joke and it is deleted - yes DELETED.
I stand by my double standards comment. |
I can't help you about the specifics as I didn't wield the scissors. By all means complain about your treatment, and others can chip in and/or make their minds up. Still, I don't think you (or anyone else) has the insight to decide a thread has run its course and can now be safely turned into a "second front". What if MJW wanted to come back with a follow up, or someone else felt like posting "I've got a new, Squire starter pack and they're great" but, suddenly, there's a heap of jibes and counter-jibes to wade through?
Please try the alternatives. This thread is one, a PM is another, starting a new topic, "Mods here are rubbish" is a third. Why plant the size 11s in a running subject? I can't speak for anybody else, but I personally get much more pleasure out of reading and posting constructive comments and advice. I take less pleasure out of being told I'm dead flat wrong , but I can be DFW, and I can cope with that. Believe it or not, I don't live for this kind of stuff. The temptation to point a Howitzer at the entire 'bollock' thread is sometimes unbearable  |
