If my style of posting doesn't meet your standards, fine. Don't answer my posts, and we'll still get along just fine. I don't particularly care about being "loved" by the masses. I am interested in the opinions of others(and I would NOT address your post If I though there was no point to your opinion), but we are all different, and do things in different ways. Do YOU, and I'll do ME. No insults meant at all, but that IS the way it is.

As for the thread, I truly find it amusing. Even though Gibson has the legal right to do what it has done(even though ill-informed people have no facts to back these strange theories), these Tokai fan-boi's somehow have the feeling of, "well, since I like this brand, anything they do is alright with me, and so what If they trample the rights of Gibson!" I think the original poster has shown this attitude, and I don't care for it, and have said so. This is a board set up for THE EXCHANGE OF IDEAS AND OPINIONS, and that is all I have done. If the OP has a problem with that, it's NOT MY PROBLEM, now is it?? We "clash" in this thread, and maybe we'll agree in the next one. Who knows what will happen, but he's wrong in THIS THREAD. POINT BLANK.......................The REAL Rocker.

Your words:

"I certainly was over this thread long before you wrote thisHave a nice night..............The REAL Rocker."

For a guy who is "over this thread"....you still keep it coming. Do you ever think that when several people start to point things out to you, about your behavior, that maybe there's a shred of truth to it? Or do you enjoy rubbing people the wrong way?

And for the record....I don't have a problem with your Opinion......just your attitude that comes with it. I bet you can have an intelligent conversation without multiple smiles and caps in every single post you make. Do you actually raise your voice in Face to Face conversations to make a point? Do you need multiple Visual Aides to convey your thoughts and ideas in Real Life? Why should it be any different on a forum?

Judging by the way you've apparently been added to so many Ignore Lists here.....as well as been the subject of not so complimentary threads..........I'm probably wasting my time. But you could probably be a well respected member of the forum if you just brought it down a notch... because in between the Caps and smiles there's actually good points/ideas. Too bad it's wasted by all the visual distraction.

---------------If I needed proof that you don't read my posts, here it is.Why are you splicing my words together make a result that you want?? As I said before, I am NOT over this thread, and I wouldn't post anymore when i am over, but you simply can't accept that. Whether we like each others posting styles means NOTHING at all here. When we have intelligent conversations here, I'll be serious,but when things get silly, well.......This is SOOOOOO not a big deal in any way. Our styles are different, and everything else about us may be different, or the sameWho knows? I will post how I wish, and I have NEVER told anyone to change how they posted....it seems to such a non-important thing, in the grand design of LIFE. I'm not here to loved by the masses, or you either. Do what you do, I'll do the same.......................The REAL Rocker.

The nice thing about all the arguing is this: it keeps the thread bumped!
I think Brock was not measuring every element associated with the legal
issues when he simply decided to sell something on Ebay using the name
on the headstock, not a name printed in crayon, but a name, under the
finish, supplied by the manufacturer. USUALLY, this is OK. He was simply
surprised when it wasn't. Also, I think using capital letters to accent
someting is perfectly fine and am surprised, myself, that it has been
equated with shouting on this thread. LEAVE THE REAL ROCKER ALONE..........................please. Let him heal.

I read your posts.....and I didn't splice your words. You said what you said, I simply quoted it from your earlier post (punctuation errors and all). Now I am really wondering about you....LOL

Now...there's something called "Internet Etiquette" or "Netiquette" (Good reading:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette). All Caps are considered "yelling". I know you know that (since other's have mentioned this too), and I'd bet in a real conversation, you don't yell at folks to get your points across? (Maybe you do). It's simple common courtesy. The fact that you disregard that courtesy is a reflection on you...you realize that...right? When you act poorly, you get treated poorly. So you end up defending yourself to multiple posters in this, and other threads, and threads get de-railed, not due to facts....but because of attitudes. In the "grand scheme of things" that is important; obviously not to you however. The irony is that you make good points that get lost due to the distraction of all caps and smiles.

And while I'm not here to be "loved by the masses".........I'm not here yelling at them by using all caps either. If I had multiple poster's telling me to lay off on using all caps or smiles, and tone it down...I'd think...wo...I drew attention to myself and upset folks. I should mellow out because they have a point. But it seems easy for you to act "detached" on the Internet (as it does many people)...but I'd bet you wouldn't yell at me in person when you make a point. You'd see me, say hey DGTCrazy....then start a conversation, just like I would to you....maybe use some gesturing....facial expressions, voice inflections....but I could guarantee that you wouldn't "YELL" to make a point....especially an intelligent one at that.....you'd simply talk.

When you try to write this off by saying "it's my style" or something to that affect......what you're really saying is "I don't care" and it degrades the TGP community as a whole IMO. All I'm asking is that you act on the Forum as you'd act in real life....and I'm sure we could all learn a lot about who you really are, and what valuable input you have, making this community better.

Before this thread gets locked, I suggest post history get reviewed to truly witness how far encompassing douchebaggery can become.

Thank you for seeing it for what it is. The Rocker infant assumes a lot about me that he is clearly uneducated about.

You could have also used Le* Pa**. LP is the best though.

------------A great many people are probably wondering why you are still going on about this, when its pretty clear that nothing is going to change. Do, you really think anyone is going to fall to the floor and say,"My God, How could we not SEE THIS?? You can go on for forever about what should be, what might be, what could be.................and I telling you what and how I'm GOING to be. I haven't beeen disrespectful here(I 've gotten more hits that I gave, and it's STILL okay!).I hope to bring up points that have been missed, and stir conversation to places and topics I think we should visit, but I will do all that,and I will do it how I FEEL it should be done by ME, not by guidelines that work for you. Dude, at the end of the day, I don't care. There are far more important things I worry about than whether I am loved by one or ALL, and it just isn't important to me. If someone find themselves unable to deal with me, cool. There are many, many threads here, and we'll all find one to enjoy. Do YOU, and I'll do ME............................The REAL Rocker.

Is that why you have 23 posts in this thread? More than a quarter of all the replies here are yours.
