Double Bass Name calling, put downs, and cynicism.

[TroyK]

OK Jake,....you asked for it. **** off!

I second that! (just trying to help you down your personal path, Jake)


Thank you for your excellent post, Eric. Good stuff all the way through. I'll add a few of those things to my personal mantra.

Duly stolen.

Unabashedly.

Eric... I'll add a few of those things to my personal mantra.

As for me, I have added your thought, "But what about a Prius?" into my inner dialogue. I think of it quite often.

Its deep, and says so much with so little.

 

[TroyK]

You're welcome!

As for the original title of this thread:

"Put Downs, Name Calling and Cynisism".

I don't think I put people down or call names, unless they're friends who I'm ribbing, but I confess to being a cynic and a general wiseass and any vow to repent would be disingenious. It is woven deep into the fiber of my being. I'd say that my posts are about 50/50 something actually potentially valuable to someone based on my experience and BS of the wiseass variety.

If that's against the rules throw me in TBDB jail and through away the tuning machine. There is no hope for reform.

It's never meant to injure or offend, though.

And the exact quote was "I know a DB fits in a blue Prius, but does anyone know if it will fit in a red Prius?"

I am glad someone "Manned up" and realized that they have been doing wrong. I have been on TB for a couple years and although that is not a long time I often get tired of people "harshin my gig" as so to say. I have found that when you get a negative rude comment it is usually from a newbie that has just signed up and doesn't know the etiquete. They are used to the youtubes and myspaces where dissing is commonplace with nothing to back up their opinions. All that matters to them is that everyone knows their opinion.
Experience with a product has meaning here. Next time someone puts something or someone down ask them their reason- maybe they had a bad experience with the product. If so then as long as they explain their unique situation then it adds to the quality here at TB. But if they can't back it up with solid facts then they don't belong here

Right on Troy. Whenever I look at the thread title it reminds me of a fun night with friends.

PW drove alot of potential DB participants out of here. In MY opinion, the drugs and disappointments ***** up his life and perspective. Lots of posts full of raging and tantrums, that go with the substance withdrawal process.

Doctor PC........I like you man, but you are getting a bit personal here. You are right about the tantrums and the raging. However they have NOTHING to do with "withdrawal" processes. They DO happen to have a lot to do with my period at any given time.

Aw, come on, sister - you're way past the age of the change. Maybe you're having hot flashbacks?

I can only add that Paul Warburton has been one of the main reasons I've hung around TBDB, and it would be very sad to see him go.

The diagnosis then. Your cup runneth over..........welcome back.

How about a round of "Kumbaya" in Bb with Coltrane changes?

 

[Greg Clinkingbeard]

Paul Warmbottom, go %$^& yourself.
Then come back and tell us all about it.......

This is known as 'ribbing', 'friendly banter'. We like Paul.

OK Jake,....you asked for it. **** off!

Thanks PEADUB and TROIKA too - I feel younger already! Maybe I'll see if I can get into my old jeans.........

Didn't you see Spinal Tap? That's a cucumber wrapped in tinfoil.

It might be a tumor.
