Ummm...hmmm.

Posting "troll-bait" puts one exactly how many steps above a troll??

I haven't loved every single song posted in the Music forum, but I don't go in there and slay into them for having the audacitiy to post a song I don't like.

Actually, I didn't "bust hard" on anybody, let alone the troll-baiter. I said his playing sucks. It does. He has even admitted as much on this forum:

Roseweave wrote:...I know I'm not a very good guitarist either way...

...so there's nothing "fucked up" about what I wrote.

Your treatment of my response with a total red herring about stuff in the Music forum is somewhat unbelievable. I certainly didn't "slay" anybody for music that I didn't like. I said that while the fuzz may be alright, the guitar playing took away from whatever it was he was trying to show - which we now know to be a complete BS post just to elicit "mean" responses. It's not that I didn't like his "tone," it's just that his guitar playing left/leaves much to be desired. Plus, nobody here posts stuff (that I'm aware of anyway) just to elicit some type of hate response out of the readers.

bigchiefbc wrote:Perhaps you misunderstand what I meant here. HCFX is full of a bunch of cork-sniffing elitist close-minding fucking assholes. I guess I should have worded it as "Posting a thread that you know will elicit a certain response, which will then allow you to call them on their bullshit.

bigchiefbc wrote:You completely missed my point. We are usually pretty civil over here, unlike that fucking hate dungeon over there. Whether it be a song they post in the Music forum, or a pedal/tone demo in one of the other forums, telling someone over here that their playing sucks in not constructive. It's just being a fucking asshole.

You didn't post anything except semantics. No need to address a non-point.

bigchiefbc wrote:It was not semantics. You should be able to separate your opinion of a player's technique from your opinion on the tone they are getting out of their guitar/amp/pedals, and evaluate them individually. One has nothing to do with the other when it comes to simply demoing a pedal or a certain sound you're getting. If Rose had said, "listen to this great new riff/song I wrote". and technical deficiencies were getting in the way of your evaluating it, then you'd at least have a point.

This makes me sound like a bad person :| The hate was already there, I was just making it more obvious.

There's generally two kinds of trolling, mischieveous or purposeful trolling(which I do) and malicious trolling(which some people on HCFX probably do). There's nothing wrong with instigating a reaction if it isn't intended maliciously, which it wasn't since I was trying to prove a point.
