Things to the effect of "If you don't have X number of basses" or "If you don't have (insert name of ridiculously unaffordable for the average person high-end gear here), you're not a real musician"
And of course, "Fender-Snobbery" being my #1 candidate for dumbest.

A mod said that. And it wasn't like he was trying to say that a chordal approach to soloing is a better way to go about it because of x, y, and z reasons. He just flat out said it was useless, and he was basically calling the member he was talking to an idiot. |
