My apologies everybody, for the boring wall of text, but I'm seriously trying to help him (just this once).

Thanks for taking the time to spell things out for me. I thought all this ground had been covered already but you bring up some... points... that I will address once and then I will leave you alone. Don't be looking for PMs from me, ok?

quote:

Exactly the same phenomenon, and also not worthy including in your imaginary attack. People posted a guitar they consider to be ugly, that happens to be owned by you. You were not mentioned at all. This is not mocking you personally in any way at all.
That is your perception, but I predicted the first post and the reactions to them, and so I think I was right that this was fresh in the GBS hivemind and just looking at the posters involved is evidence enough that this was not some random happening.

skander posted:

And any ridicule did not come here, until you brought it.
Perhaps. I am doubtful.

skander posted:

You need to work on your social perceptions. I'm not loving with you here in the least, but I am bluntly addressing some psychological issues.
Wait for it.

skander posted:

(That's just how I do this kind of thing, bluntly. You might hate that, all lot of people do, and a lot of people don't. (If my elderly mother lives through the weekend, she's going to get really big dose of 'I told you so, you should have gone in to the ER two days ago, before you came immobile and covered in vomit' She knows it, she knows I'm right, and she'll accept it.)
This is how you speak about your Mother? My bullshit detector is going nuts.

skander posted:

You really shouldn't give a rat's rear end about people having negative opinions of the appearance of your possessions.
Agreed.

skander posted:

Example 9sorry for another totally self-centered story: I have an overactive urinary system, and the teacher wouldn't let me go to the bathroom for the fourth time one afternoon when I was nine or ten. Go ahead and guess what happened. One person made a rhyme with my name, referring to the incident, and was still at it at the twenty-year high school reunion. I never responded, and actually never cared about, because she's none too bright, and not important in the least.
I'm way out of my depth, here.

skander posted:

Again, I'm not trying to be an rear end in a top hat here, I'm not making fun of you, but you really don't understand in the least what's happening. That's why you're being mocked, it's your reactions, not your guitars. Even if people started mocking you without your being here, you did not have to respond.
No, you're not an rear end in a top hat at all. You're just trying to help me. Thanks.

skander posted:

And Dr. Faustus, if you have interest in taking this to messages or something, please contact me. Otherwise, I'll just be shaking my head sadly about the extent of your reactions to something not important in the least.
Lots of people are shaking their heads sadly, now. But you've put everything in perspective so I can at least move on with my life. I owe you.

If your Mom lives, please tell her, "Skander told you so, and Faustus thinks that was pretty lovely but you have to be blunt sometimes."

What track are you talking about? We were using some seriously old gear back in the day and had little time for mastering or engineering. It could have been mic placement, bad monitors, or just the track that used the Rocktron Chameleon. Or, it could be your listening environment. I am open to suggestions, but like I said some of that stuff is 20 years old.

Low-pass filters make no sense on low-resistance pickups through tube circuits. I don't know what you are talking about.

Can you be more specific? The rig sounds full and fat thanks to the BBE.

The filters on the potentiometers only take effect when the resistance is rolled in (I should be specific: I mean when the volume knob is rolled off.) They do nothing at all when the guitar is full-open, that's how the capacitors (high-pass filters) work.

What? The point of the high-pass filters is to keep the guitar sounding bright and chimey when the volume is rolled back.
Even bass players like to have some good high end on their tone.

Ah crap, it's about bedtime. Yell at me and I'll come back when I get to work and have some down time.

gently caress, seriouspost again, I'm really being a boring twat. But, one psychological phenomenon that Dr. Faustus seems completely blind to.

Dr. Faustus posted:

This is how you speak about your Mother? My bullshit detector is going nuts.
No, this is how I speak to my mother. My family is completely out of your bullshit detector's range. She's been hearing it for decades, she understands it, she knows I'm right, and I truly think that's it's a psychological phenomenon that I'm pretty sure you are not able to perceive(no assholeishness intended there). The whole family's like that.

My mom and I talk bluntly about serious things, and she's just fine with it. The entire family is like that.I don't do it unless it's serious. I was right in this case ('go to the hospital now'), she stayed home and went two days with vomit on her, and it will never happen again if I'm aware of it, like I was recommending Tuesday. The days after, I was unfortunately having my own medical problems.

I'm much more blunt to people close to me then others, and they all appreciate it or put up with me, or they go the gently caress away But I can be useful. Sometimes I even do it very politely, to official sorts of people, and it works. It's can be as hell.

You have to be perceive things that you don't even be able to understand the reason for. And it took me a good while to move into dealing normal perceptions. Once I did, I'm a manipulator.

You're seeing the helpful, considerate part here though. I am a nasty loving rear end in a top hat to people who get on the wrong side of me and have no influence over me, if it's called for. loving vicious. You just got today's Boy Scout influence, but I don't care about that part here, this place is entertaining, not important.


poo poo, please start mocking me or something so I shut up. I'm about to fire up the weed, though. Maybe that will shut me the gently caress up.
