I'm still being cyber stalked by a couple of wackos on TGP who didn't like two things I said about A Famous Musician.  I said he had Parkinsons (most likely from cocaine abuse) --- got all kinds of hell for that one - people demanding to see my medical license.  It's pretty obvious if you watch some interviews with him and you know what to look for. I never offered my medical license in my defense even though I have one. (Was a trauma specialist/paramedic when I was young)

The other thing that I said about the Famous Musician that blew a few heads off was that he was gay. I've now got a guy who follows me (named Dave ironically) to every Famous Band thread to confront me on that years later. I never offered my defense on that one either -- I'll gladly offer it here though. It's pretty fair to conclude that the famous musician at least swings both ways when you show up at a crash pad and find the famous musician in bed with someone you know.... complete with multi-coloured rhinestone cowboy boots in the hallway. That's one of those "Oh wow" moments you have sometimes when you suddenly find yourself on the other side of the curtain.

the mods' position is based in golden rule, don't-be-a-dick kinda stuff in a post that gets reported by some cockhead who you called out on his bullshit.

Another internet irony is it overrun with thin skinned old guys who complain about snowflakes.

I remember a while back I hadn't seen one of my buddies, a devout born again dude in a few months.

Finally ran into him, and I told him I thought maybe the rapture had happened and that's why I

hadn't seen him.  Even he laughed his ass off.  Some people are too sensitive!

If it was the rapture joke that got me all I did was explain the joke someone else made to a guy who didn't get the reference. Good Times that rapture - good times!.

What a bunch of whiners! This place is starting to sound like The Gear Page.

Bottom line is the same as it has always been. If you don't like the Fn content don't click on the Fn button.

The Neil thing was likely in violation of their "no musician bashing" rule which I've never really understood; I'm guessing it's because they don't want to run pros off the site who happen to have found their way on there.  The mods do seem to give an inordinate amount of weight to those complaints.  Anyway, that premise is certainly flawed in my mind- not all music (or artists, or bands) is great, and there are going to be inevitable opinions expressed there.  If I don't know what I hate, how can I know what I love?

The only pro still on there I believe is Pete Thorn, who is soliciting YouTube views.  I've met Pete, he seems like a nice guy, and needs to make a living as side kick, so I get it.

Maybe? I wasn't bashing Neil to bash him - I was summarizing his personae as described in the article and presented it as a reason why he was not being listened to... Oh well. I guess maybe I'll know in a week?

Now you tell me. Unfortunately I'm cursed with a desire to not let the nonsense of clueless assholes go unchallenged. Of course, those same assholes are the ones who fill the site's coffers for the privilege of horsetrading gear while their main girls are biting the chunks of other men, so there's that.

Having been an asshole for most of my life and clueless for only the past few years I won't take affront to anything said 0n forums. I guess that's why I haven't been banned here, there or anywhere.

A quote from the TGP thread I frequent. "Don't get out of the boat."

Every once in a while I bump into a suspected HFC member on TGP that pisses me off... I know some of you guys are incognito there - so I do two things.... always give the HFC member a pass.... and purposely will myself not to recognize screen names so I don’t get butt hurt.

.... plus I generally stay out of the KISS threads just to be safe!

I have enough fun shitting on Don Dokken, Winger, and Seb Bach -

I quit posting on TGP after I had a disagreement with punks regurgitating things they had read vs experienced. I ended that dispute with a question asking them “ If they understood what they knew about the amp we where discussing” since I owned one and they didn’t. That was the end!!

So, is Jesus still coming back? I thought he gave up on us around 1982.

The last documented sightings from a trusted source indicated that he had just left Chicago heading to New Orleans and then subsequently went out to California.

Yeah, no. He's a colossal tool, just like all the other TGP admins and mods. My opinion may or may not be influenced by my current permaban over there.

The fact that the prevailing demographic is men in their 40s, 50s and 60s and they replace curse words with asterisks tells you all you need to know about that forum.

You got banned again? Wasn't that your 2nd account? 😄

Yeah, but he's getting paid for it, so.....

Kiz's story illustrates how TGP mods only respond to reported posts, a.k.a. grown (and in some cases elderly) men crying to M.O.M. As he said earlier, no effort whatsoever to consider context or the possibility that the person doing the reporting could be the asshole.

Their stock excuse is "this is a huge forum, we can't monitor everything." If you can't do the job, step down. Of course, that would involve relinquishing the only semblance of authority you have in your life, so that's not happening.

That kind of moderating is the equivalent of a cover band staring into iPads on mic stands because they couldn't learn the material due to their brats' hectic soccer schedules. Can't do the job? Do everyone a favor and quit.

Yeah, I once made a crude-ish joke about purity rings that were trendy a few years ago and due to "many complaints" got a week off.

There was another time in a thread about Mel Gibson where I wondered how apeshit he'd go if it turned out his son in law Kenny Wayne Sheppard was Jewish that got me another vacation. I had a back and forth with the mod that dinged me (he's no longer a mod) for an "anti semitic" remark which was more or less him sticking his fingers in his ears and going "La la la la la la la la la...."

I never knew there were Don Dokken fanboys .... until TGP. Like can’t some things be universally despised? Can’t we just agree on Don and be done?

Takes one to know one! How many times have you been booted off here, only to be inexplicably allowed back even though everyone knows who you are? Or are you treating someone of influence to the occasional rusty trombone?

Better wait until tomorrow, I just ate a Big Grab bag of Chili Cheese Fritos. Although maybe that's preferable?
