Anybody else afraid of any forums here?

I just avoid @hrodbert696. He's too damn smart. ;)

i wouldn't give my 2c on any heavyweight technical matters in Amps... someone starts mentioning fundamental frequencies and driver excursions and then it all breaks out into a cowboy-saloon-stye brawl.
Yep. It's amps for me as well. Happy as an otter in a sea of fish, I proudly mentioned I mix 410 and 115 bass cabs. Ooooooh.
 
no fear here- but my experiences have led me to avoid responding to members who are inclined to engaging in public pissing contests.

I've was once flamed for sharing a negative opinion about a somewhat popular instrument. Someone asked for experiences and opinions and I gave my honest, detailed assessment. This drew the ire of a few of the instrument's users - a common illustration of how people can react when they feel that their judgement is being indirectly questioned.

90% of the time I find all the forums are great. You have experienced people posting valuable ideas based on many years of experience. 10% of the time you have to just ignore posts that are riddled with false assumptions, arrogance, provocative statements, or opinions based on a cursory amount of information, etcetera. Each forum has its own culture and quality of discipline in the comments made.

I have to admit to having a strange sort of love for the DB side. They are for the most part a friendly bunch. They seem a bit more "mature" than our brothers and sisters here, but they often have a good sense of humor. I tread lightly, but usually enjoy my visits there.
Yes, yes.... I feel, that the DB side of Talkbass is some sort of unreachable Delta quadrant to which you must gain access through some kind of educational and experiential wormhole, which I have yet to discover the entrance to. The idea of a giant violin with a long, unmarked ebony fingerboard, plucked with the fingers, being a useful tool to create accurate and expressive music confounds me to this day.......:eyebrow:
