Should I kick out my guitarist

MORE FEELINGS! SO MANY FEELINGS! ISN'T IT JUST AWFUL?

EVERYONE! QUICK! DELETE YOUR VAGUELY OFFENSIVE STATEMENTS ABOUT A GIRL NOBODY PERSONALLY KNOWS!
It's not about "hurt feelings," it's about the fact that half of the posts in this thread are telling this high school kid to have sex with his bandmate and then kick her to the curb. If you can't have a conversation about a female musician without reducing her to a sex object (yes, that is exactly what you're doing when you say "**** *** and kick her out"), you are the problem.

Grow the hell up and treat musicians like musicians, no matter what gender they are.

EDIT: To keep this post on topic: Yes, you should probably kick your guitarist out if her skill and work ethic are as bad as you say they are. Just make sure you're holding everyone in the band to the same standard.

Seconded. If ",<what you said> and kick her out" is acceptable behavior, then we're no better than those model citizens in Steubenville.

I need to grow up? I haven't even jumped on the "lel **** *** XD" bandwagon, I don't condone it at all. What I find worse than this is your awful sense of self importance. Calling for mods to shut the thread? Telling people they are awful for joking around? Oh yeah I forgot my freedoms end where your feelings begin.

Why don't you grow up and realise that just because you say "I find that offensive!" doesn't mean you now hold some veto over what people should say, it's just a whine. A whine and nothing more. Don't like it? Ignore it, hide the thread.
 
This is probably the most offensive piece of trash I have ever seen posted in the BM forum.

As for the post above, the usage agreement strictly forbids this type of thing. So yes, is is appropriate to call for a close and to report it to us.

Excerpted from rule 4:
other derrogatory terminology and slang for different ethnicities, religions, gender/gender pref slang or slang for disabled individuals - it is -never- appropriate at TalkBass.com to use this kind of demeaning terminology.

Closed. :mad:
