I've been a TBer since 2003, but for some reason I only recently started checking out the bassists section. I'm amazed, so far, at how many people slam other musicians. Is this pretty much the norm here?

We are all different, accept that.

And Capn, I agree. People were to meet in person, mouths would shut and opinions stay personal.
Except at the GTG, which I will bash you all to the ground!

If someone is seeking advise about a product and I or anyone else doesn't like it then "bashing" is required. It defeats the purpose of getting opinions on gear if those that don't like it for what ever reason can only bite their tongue. As for bass player bashing, thats a tad different. If someone doesn't like a players style or what not then use a bit of tact while you critique them.
I know when I used to mod the bassists forum I would never allow someone to insult a player unless it was a tactful and polite manner.

The frequency and severity of said bashing is directly related to the junior high school calendar. If said bashers actually made it out of junior high, they are developmentally delayed and/or have a small wiener.
