Agreed

This forum really blows my mind sometimes.

So I read it to my dog, Santana.

Really blew the dog's mind.

I wondered if the OP has difficulties with English. He was given solid advice, right off the bat. He either didn't or couldn't understand it.

I teach high-school, career-tech, and have read hundreds of papers written by students with a reading level similar to what the OP claimed (third-grade), even much higher, and I gotta say, his writing is so far superior, I don’t even know what to say about it.

Well… I can guess, but I’ll let it go right now.

That statement got me puzzled more than this topic - are you saying what I think you're saying? Seriously? You're a kid, too?

Actually, I noticed that, too. Weird.

I'm going off of what I was told my 8th grade year and it hasn't gotten any better.

All I can say is that for having "really bad anger issues" - you're doing a great job here of keeping it in the can.

Several of us have taunted you as being a troll and you did not lash out, threaten, or attack us with personal insults.

So, I say good for you for keeping your cool here - it shows that you are working on it and actually have better control than you think.

I would also bet that you are 100% capable of learning how to set up and care for your bass - forget any talk about disability and levels that people have thrown at you - prove 'em wrong!

(In the meantime - it would be HUGE if you could watch the tech work on your bass - try to see if that is possible)

+1. Great advice!

All kidding and coddling aside. If this is truly a teen that's posting and has huge anger issues that are only resolved with stabbing something or violence in general then everyone is missing the bigger picture.

I think we've ridden him fairly hard on that issue- he'll either listen or not.
On that note, OP, listening is great but maybe not so much when someone tells you your reading skills suck or you're never gonna _____ or become a decent ________ etc. Rant if you must- we all do sometimes, and if it helps keep you from destroying things, that is good. BTW- another good thing to ignore is the *witty/snarky/flaming* comments you'll get here and EVERYWHERE on le net, and I'll admit my first post here likely didn't help- but you may one day see the humor in the statement I quoted...

Yeah, like I hope his parents don't own guns.

[amimbari]

no pictures, no stabbed amp.

[wcoffey81]

are we absolutely positive this OP is not someone who was recently banned and wanted to take up our time? just because they can.
