Thanks for validating that I'm not the only one who sees/recognizes this routine, and doesn't appreciate it.
My problem is I have a really hard time standing by passively/quietly, while these sorts of members do their thing to mock the unsuspecting, because music has been the way I've been earning a living for many many years, and guitar has been a passion for many years longer than that.
I love the enthusiasm of other players, and like to help and encourage when/where I can-- to share my knowledge and experience using gear, playing music, the music business, etc.
I've literally received hundreds of PMs from forum members here, and even have made some new friends, who I've been happy and fortunate enough to actually meet in person.
I offered to help S-H to test out and obtain some gear, in a now deleted thread. (Deleted for the same nonsense that's going on in this one-- I presume) Only to realize that he was only mocking my intended charity, by continuing to escalate his idiocy-- indicating to me that he was never really serious at all about any of it, but was just interested in being a tool. It really does affect my willingness to go out of the way to be helpful.
I own a guitar store here in Hawaii, and was planning on making sure he had what he needed, as I have for other less fortunate forum members here, including one who lives in Argentina (a friend- that I met here on MF, whom I've sent gear to because he can't get it in his country)-- but no-- only more BS from S-H. THAT, is why I know this guy is just mocking those of us who have a passion for playing music, and the gear we talk about here.
He seems to want to prove the point that gear only matters if you can actually play, and he'd be correct in that--but clearly is old enough to know better, how to act in public, and then chooses not to, apparently to feed an attention seeking behavior, akin to a developmentally disabled person. I just am sick of it
