Pointing out that someone is a shameless troll, who constantly tries to smear builders and hurt their businesses is not bullying.The Velvet Hammer wrote:Please reconsider this post.jrfox92 wrote:At least BM has a friend in someone.
I mean, not all of us can condone alt-right sympathizers that have to derail every fucking thread that concerns a company they don't like because of their own apparent persecution complex.
I may not agree with a persons politics or opinions but less still will I tolerate bullying.

If someone is constantly singled out shamelessly for their opinion, is that not trolling or bullying?
Trust me, I know what I'm doing.

It's not just cause of his opinions, it's also shit like this. At least for me.

Despite all these guys with thier huge boards over at TB, I can pretty much guarantee you that no one in the audience gives a shit about a bassist with a million pedals on their board. 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.

This is a stranger on a forum, he is allowed to have differing views and there is only one rule here - Don't be an ass hole. This rule, applies both ways.
Yes, insecure losers is slightly harsh but BossMann has been warned to tone it down.

Like i said, it's not really the differing views, cause then I probably shouldn't be talking, but fair enough.

For someone to engage in bullying, it has to come from a position of strength or power. Arguing is not bullying. Protesting is not bullying. Calling someone out for being a troll who deliberately attempts to be disruptive and to instigate fights is also not an example of bullying.Definition of bullying
: abuse and mistreatment of someone vulnerable by someone stronger, more powerful

Re: Companies to avoid for "reasons". Confine hate postin' h
So, I fell asleep.
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:

I wouldn't say I've "constantly singled him out" and I wouldn't qualify disagreement and counter-argument as bullying.The Velvet Hammer wrote:If someone is constantly singled out shamelessly for their opinion, is that not trolling or bullying?

And, yeah, I'm not happy with this new implication that you're protecting him after he started yet another shitfest in the forum and lashed out in response.The Velvet Hammer wrote: You may love Louise Belcher but not everything has to crash and burn, please edit the post and don't have me do it.

Woah! Keep calm and use pedals!
I just wanted to name Gojira FX as a company to avoid - because yeah, lots of reasons.
Those BM73 quotes are very disturbing though.

Re: Companies to avoid for "reasons". Confine hate postin' h
I think The Velvet Hammer is wrong here, Bosswhatever should be potty trained and he should only come back once he can show a certificate that he has followed through the course successfully.
This thread is a good idea, big up for Chanks.

Wow.
I never realised how awful, uh, certain members can be until all those quotes were lined up like that.
And Chank, how'd you manage to piss the Hammer off?
Jeez dude, you're just blowin shit up all the time. Its relentless. Just stop

Yeah, those quotes are absolute fucking bullshit. This far right trend for claiming any physical opposition to fascism is in itself fascist is tiresome as it is downright moronic. Infuriating. Fuck nazi sympathy.Iommic Pope wrote:Wow.

Speaking of Soyboys, John Jacobs (of CroMags fame) wrote a book called "meat is for pussies." About going vegan. I wonder if Bossman has read it? Might elucidate some things for him (and others).

Re: Companies to avoid for "reasons". Confine hate postin' h
Yeah I feel like I'd buy that from a company I trust, but no one else really. Starting out with that kind of shit is no way to build good faith.oldangelmidnight wrote:Yeah, I've seen that mentioned sometimes and I think - What if you're just not very good at this and you spent a year working on something that would have taken someone else a couple of weeks?$harkToootth wrote:My issue is when companies want to incorporate that 'time' into the price. So think of a pedal that cost $150 to make, a company has their standard mark-up, I just have issues where said mark up is an exuberant amount per a two - three year 'development period'.
But sometimes innovations take time to troubleshoot and I'm glad to pay someone to work out the bugs before releasing something.
