There has been a complete dearth of manners when it comes to Lou's posts. For every one of his posts, there is a half dozen posts commenting negatively on it. There may have been a slight controversy at first regarding his "authenticity", but his questions and willingness to try out gear shows that he is just searching for good audio. If you have a problem with something he says, you should report it to a mod through PM, not renounce him publicly (yes, that was redundant).

I'll second that motion.

I thought he was a nice guy.

 

[Driftwood]

he seemed pretty genuine to me, I thought he was genuinely happy to get our advice, and did appreciate it.

What are y'all talking about? Who's Lou?

 

[Jeff Guidry]

I've been noticing a dearth of reactive posts. None of us knows nearly enough about each other to make negative personal judgements (re: the assessment that Lou was full of ****). When a personal slag like this happens, your best bet is to ignore it and keep the thread on topic.

Remember: be proactive, not reactive.

I was not making a personal judgement, I was making a judgement on the truthfullness of of his/her posts which seem quite fake to me. If people don't agree with me, I'm sorry. I'm more interested in maintaining the integrity of the forums than worrying about offending someone who threatened to physically attack me.

 

[Jeff Guidry]

It's important to the integrity of the forum not to say that other users are full of ****. That's very offense, at least it would be to me. You offended him before he threatened to physically attack you.

 

[BenG]

I was giving my honest opinion, which I'm willing to take the heat for.

What you were doing was being an ass. Nobody likes an ass -- I'm sure you'll agree on that. As has been mentioned, PM one of the moderators if you think somebody isn't on the level or is trying to undermine the message boards. But random insults are not constructive and not appreciated on the boards.

 

[BenG]

My comments were not random, but based on this person's specific posts.

 

[DanG]

Nobody's interested in insulting comments, as I've said. Random or not, what you were doing was insulting another member based on childish and vague suspicions. You can mumble to yourself in the dark for all I care, just don't bring it to the forums.
