The " + 1" Army

[CalboDaGo]

no matticus..i NEVER look @ profiles and such..i may have click on 2 or 3 links posted by users of vids or whatnot. and the few i HAVE clicked, to be honest, is because people were hating on that individual so aggressively,i watched just to see what all the fuss was about.. i love you all here equally, and that love is not based on the gear or gigs or vids listed in your profile.

matticus, i know youre in one of the cali's most complete bands, and you are one of the most technically grounded bassist on talkbass..ive witnessed you stateing those very facts multiple times in my short time as a "registered user" here.

Well, Ive got nothing against people checking peoples profiles or whatnot. I'll just say, I dont play a P-bass, and leave it at that.

Hmm, Im not sure what this is all about... I dont think Ive stated any such thing on here. I rarely talk about my band here on talkbass. Ive certainly never stated that Im technically grounded. Not sure what youre getting at...

You mean a thread where somebody complains about people posting +1 and then everybody +1's the OP?

Sorry, not as original as you'd hoped.

What say you?

Well I'd say so far this thread is more than a little reminiscent of this guy:

And this is why I'm tantrum quitting TalkBass...

I think that's the chick from the Taiwanese Death Metal band, Cthonic.

Maki - I've stood three feet from her. And saw right up her dress.

Nope, not taking anything personally. We haven't had a thread like this for a while. Cheers.

Especially when you're conversing on hightly technical or very deep subjects

...like space elevators.

Not sure what you're talking about, but the HOF thread is in the lobby. And this post alone is case in point why we quote each other.

[CalboDaGo]

well, wouldnt it have been easier and more efficient to have just told me what HOF stands for then? thats what i mean, why you always gotta redirect somebody to the search feature? are you really too busy right now?

[4dog]

Wow,i went to work and this got real good holy crap,wait, do i have enough commas? Calbo why all the hostility son? I mean a little irritation is one thing but all this about +1 and quoting for continuity sake, it aint right man.

[4dog]

And singleing folks out wheres your manners?

Lobby? That's on the Double Bass side, right? We should invite those guys to check this thread out, I'll bet they'd dig it. Especially Bruce Cornfield or whatever his name is.

Easier for who? You? Why do I gotta explain things to you because you're too lazy to find the post in question (within the same thread you started btw) and press the 'quote' button? It goes both ways, my friend.
