Pedantic Discussion Talking Point: Tape on Pedals.

[jrfox92]

I never got to see the original board in question, because it was deleted and the person who posted it was driven out before i got there.

I thought the comments were relatively harmless, but could see where a newer person might not get that.

The tape thing has to do with the GY!BE board, not christophe's, separate issues.

can't see the board with or without the tape because he deleted it.

[jrfox92]

This is the "tape on pedals" board.
The board that was deleted because user xchristophex deleted his account didn't have tape on it, AFAIK.

Understood, unrelated issues (unless of course he is a taper)

I'm sort of catching up here. Is this related to the "help me identify this pedals" thread, or whatever it was called? I couldn't see the posts where this user got shamed. Why would they be shamed over someone else's taped pedals? Why would they be shamed over taping over their own pedals for that matter? What a stupid thing to care about. Why aren't the people who give a shit posting in this thread? When you buy a piece of gear, you own it and can do whatever you fucking want to it. It doesn't belong to Marshall or boss or zvex or dr scientist or anyone else anymore. You can show your gear off or not. Your choice. Maybe you do or don't want yourself or your audience looking at a bunch of logos while you're playing. It's your stuff. Someone else giving shit seems so dumb.

nahnahnah....he was called pretentious for trying to be philosophical or artsy or whatever with his comment about memory or somthin...and was called the P word and he split like a coconut or whatever...boards were dope...black and white lettering with mystical riddles was his fighting style...and it lost to a one hand clap by a cold bright sunlight

So, here's an example of one of xchristophex's posts:

"Time moves in one direction, memory in another."

He posted something like that in the Let's see your PEDAL BOARD thread, got some (presumably intended as) friendly ribbing from a couple ILF locals and, it appears, rage quit.
He's been around for a little while, now. So, the sudden disappearance over a joke seems...petty?

D.o.S.'s OP connected some dots that I can't seem to find. Maybe it's all a joke? Maybe it's Maybelline?

He's done it before jr now fudge off. My post tells the true story of actual events.

I think homie had some taped up pedals.

But basically I was chatting with UC and CBS and they were hating on tape on pedals and I had to know how the rest of ILF felt about it because I like bullshitting about these things.

I don't remember being that negative, as I've said in this thread I have no strong feelings. Don't you dare dig up a quote of me being negative, because it's fake news. I may have been making a joke or was in a bad mood.

[D.o.S.]

OK no, I'm going to double down. Doing it to your $500 pedal purely as an anti capitalist statement IS dumb

The problem is, I agree with that statement and stand by it. But the intensity of my feeling about it is very low. I think it's dumb, but not enough to really put me off anyone who does it

Stupid multi quote formatting.

tape on a $500 pedal is galaxy brain level anti-capitalism
