A statement wrongly implying someone else's extremist political views are what started this whole mess in the first place. While rude and out of line, the moderators allowed it. Which is a fine position to take; honestly I am not in favor of banning or torching any threads or users over this.

However I do see a double standard asking someone to edit their content for doing basically what the mods decided was fine in the first place, and has occurred numerous times since.

This is your forum, rule as you see fit. Your users generally support your actions, maybe make note that fewer than usual currently are, and consider why for future decisions.

Oh I don't think it's fine at all and warnings will be given but neither side has the moral high ground at the moment.

This is why I asked for the message to be reconsidered, I don't want to censor and nor can I take sides but I can peacefully ask for someone to consider their actions and what assumptions they've made.

Keeping an eye on everything happening and moderating fairly is currently near impossible, when things cool down is when action will be taken which all sides should consider in their actions.
Trust me, I know what I'm doing.

Good to know where the administration of this site stands on the topic I guess. If you don't detect the venom in my post, believe me, it's there.

To me, it looks like someone posting inflammatory things to get people all riled up and then getting butt hurt when he gets called out on it. I guess you guys see it differently.

I wouldn't say I've "constantly singled him out" and I wouldn't qualify disagreement and counter-argument as bullying.
Especially when it's in response to incendiary and antagonistic comments.

That's like saying the majority of the American public is bullying Trump because of his tweets and the shit he says.

I don't know how you want me to edit my post beyond censoring it completely, so please do as you see fit.
I don't usually react this way, and that should be quite telling, but it's gotten to the point that I'm really sick of Manny coming in and taking a dump in the middle of the room.

Here's some of the noted trolling and antagonizing, by the way:

And no one wants to hear some wanker with his 5 envelope filters into a bass synth into a HPF/LPF with expression pedal input into a modulated reverb into a modulated delay. Bass should keep the lows intact and the fundamental pulse of the song pumping. Anything that gets in the way of that is for insecure losers, so many of which are represented over at TB. Buy one dirt, one fuzz and a Valeton coral mod for the .001 percent of the time you need a phaser/flanger/chorus/trem/echo etc.

And LOL, just read the instagram post. I find it funny how many people literally kiss boutique pedal maker's asses in these posts. Constant stream of "Your's is so much better," and "no one meticulously crafts pot tapers like you do," and other kiss-ass pussy bullshit. Earth to pedal buyers.....boutique pedal makers are no better or worse than you and you should not kiss their asses. Jeez, I thought I was at a Talkbass convention while reading that Instagram post. It was entertaining though!

Note to pedal builders.........stop promoting hatred and division. It's getting really stupid already.
I wish Soros would give me money.
Also what bankers? What the hell are you even talking about?
Finally: Who's up for starting a band called "Soros and the Bankers"? Our first single will be "Smash Racism", with the hit B-side "Financin' Dem Pedals (The Highlife)".
Well, if you want Soros to give you money, that means you'd take money from a self-admitted Nazi collaberator, making you a...............Nazi sympathizer. See how that works? How does it feel to be called a Nazi?

And all one needs to do is but a cursory search of the groups funded by the Nazi collaborator Soros and you'd see all the groups that are "resisting" Trump. It's not exactly a secret. It's really funny too because like him or not, Trump was elected as someone who was gonna clean out Washington DC finally after decades of rot, smash the politicians etc.....and y'all are sucking the fucking dick of the system in response. Fuck you fake revolutionaries.
BossMann73 wrote: Well, as much as I fucking despise the owner of LWA (and think he's a nazi and a fascist for wanting to violently assault anyone who disagrees with him politically), the LHWD is a killer pedal.

But having said that, the owner is a fucking piece of shit scumbag and I would never buy a pedal of his new. I bought mine used and was glad none of my money went to support a fascist.

Any other questions, PM me please. I don't wish to promote this piece of shit's pedals anymore than I have to. But honesty trumps all......it's a great pedal.

BossMann73 wrote: Well, despite my thought that the owner/builder is a huge Daucheborg for advocating and encouraging violence against people, I must be honest and say the LHWD (deluxe version) is a stellar pedal.

Plus, as I said before I am boycotting any pedal builder that advocates political violence. Abominable Electronics is another major offender, but I've had two of his pedals and they both sucked so I wouldn't even buy used.
BossMann73 wrote:I just took a chance on a used Left Hand Wrath deluxe but I would never in a million years buy new due to the builder's penchant for advocating violence and harm to people who disagree with his political leanings. Very Nazi like and quite disturbing actually.

Lol! All this from a guy who lied about a company refusing to do business with me and then when I emailed said company they told me they had no idea who Mosfed is and that he is full of shit. Anyhow, wow, long list. I guess your time isn't that precious to you that you would spend it dredging all this up, selectively and out of context I might add. I don't see the vastly more in number posts where I am commenting on a pedal or helping someone out with an opinion on a pedal. Funny though. It's like a partial collection of my greatest hits. Love it! Thanks Mosfed!!
