Sorry for being a butthole to you on a few occasions, Rusty.
No worries, I appreciate the sentiment. I try not to take things personally, most of the time it aint personal. The more worked-up one gets the quicker people rush to judgement and violate their own principles, in a desperate struggle to "win" shower arguments in the street or e-streets while forgetting the goal: a world where people treat each other a bit better. Hey, everyone has a bad day where they lash out at target(s) of convenience. It happens. Shit happens. :) It's especially unfortunate when it keeps happening between people who don't talk/think exactly alike yet ultimately...agree on something, most things bigger than themselves and the blah blah blah.

Cause for pause: all-or-nothing culty individualist vs collectivist "us vs them" false dichotomy framings. Also individuals or collectives who squander no opportunity, even inventing new ways to tell others what to do.

Kinda long time lurker, sporadic post here.
I think that the "coldness" this forum can give off is actually you guys and gals refraining from posting bullshit and big dick posts. A lot of other forums I cruise through seem to have an abundance of "lurk more post less" and old timer "back in my day" / "when I was touring in the 80s" blues lawyer tone is in the fingers crap let me tell you how it is because im a guitar genius but actually I'm just regurgitating guitar world articles and tgp posts. Instead of replying with masterbatory self inflating humble brags you don't post at all. I dunno :picard:
Also I love that people gave me a chance in the b/s/t even though I'm just a guy on the internet and I got badass trades out of it. I like to think the few thing I post and what other post in the bst are homie prices. Trust your fellow weirdo kind of stuff.

I feel like I got a very light attempt at hazing, but I also generally dgaf and much prefer to go back and forth with someone than turn the other cheek, so this place kind of feels like my home (mental institution).

I think most of the people here mean well, and that goes a long way. It just takes a bit to figure that out.

We're clearly the forum with the highest number of meta discussions on our identity, so that's... something.

I have a new post-modular project. Its just a recording of the sound of me burning my money in a trash can. I find this approach similar yet more direct than traditional modular synthesis techniques.

Nah some of you guys do really crazy shit with your boxes of lights and knobs and spaghetti wiring but that is a place I must not go.
