Well, duh Padma is a good man. Not saying I'm on the same plane of existence, also not saying I follow his every thought line, but to insinuate drug or alcohol usage as a basis of his thinking process is wrong and insulting. There is no reason to use ad-hominem attacks here.

Hehe...when he writes that on Easter he dances naked around the fire to celebrate spring fertiliy rites...he obviates any defense to ad hominem attacks.
When you make yourself into a caricature...ad hominem attacks aren't your primary concern. :)

Without getting into it too far, you knew what I meant. I'd offer that the majority of members here respect Padma's knowledge, experience/s and unique humour. No sense stirring things up with unnecessary digs, however subtle or not so subtle.

Some folks are very adept at digging up the past to prove their point. Attacking a fellow member for just about any reason is sad. Again, I realize I'm walking a thin line here. Difference being, I'm trying to stay the course. Leave Padma alone. Go find another hobby.

I mean really.. Does this somehow make you feel superior? Better? Above it all?

If you don't like someone's point of view, deal with the POV without making it personal.

That's right Filippo, and most of us keep our opinions to ourselves when there's zero value in posting them. In person it's easier to do.

I guess I just don't get why some folks feel it is their job to humiliate or denigrate other people on the open forum.

Your comment ignores the fact that Padma has made himself into a caricature...which naturally invites extra-cival reactions. The key to judging Phillipo is to observe how he treats everyone else on this board other than Padma. Personally, I doubt those that make themselves into caricatures are looking for common responses from other people. Specifically, Padma has made many comments that were a clear attempt to tweak established convention...which he knows will offend yet he does it anyway.

Your comments suggest that we all should have a "normal" reaction to someone who chooses to exist outside of "normal". I'm curious why Padma does this but I accept it as his choice. I don't accept an expectation that we should ignore Padma's decidely iconoclastic expressions that verge on anti-social at times, and instead treat him normally.

Still...I like Padma...as an intent clown.
I respect Padma...as a builder.

A person that goes out of his way to be iconoclastic is one thing. There are reasons people create images of themselves that are completely innocuous. But an iconoclast that purposefully tweaks convention is an entirely different thing and the axiom "you reap what you sow" will apply to Padma whether you like it or not.

Joking is fine Bro T. As I said before, writing from a distance, people will say things that they would not say face to face. I like a good joke as well as the next guy but not in the form posted by Filippo. Funny to some maybe, not to me. Stuart has some good points. Take it as it is.

Peoples is funny, me learned this bit of B.S. behavior very early in dis life.

"if you think like me, you must be my friend,
if you don't think like me, your my enemy"

Again Zlurgh, thank you. Thank you for rising far above that kinda insecure crap.

Whatever "dude". Every forum has its self designated smart a**. And the groupies that follow him/her. I'm quite aware of it. This thread should never have been started in this sub-forum. New folks who do not know the politics and personalities here can be put off by all this crap. Has nothing to do with building beautiful, and unique guitars.

No cussing, and be nice. Right? If your opinion is about guitars, we all want to hear. If your opinion is about a member, keep it to yourself or use PM. If your opinion is about any supplier, take it offline or to a sub-forum that is web crawler disabled (we have one). Maybe they are not a sponsor today, but maybe some day they will be.
