Yeah, it's kind not like that though.. This place is more of a marketing tool for PRS, than it is a market research tool. Just tryin' to be real.. Check out some of the past threads in the archive, peruse the vast number of forum rules, and recognize that the "Forum Police" are just tryin' to live up to a "vibe", "attitude", or "sense of community" that it has been tryin' to establish for two years. The dudes that seem combatant are coming from a place of love and respect for what out buddy Paul and his company stand for, so it could come off as mean-spirited or close minded, but it's more so from a place of realization, and just executed unsatisfactorily.
It's kinda like being at the Great Gatsby's parties, where you recognize that while the host of the party may have their own interests in mind that they must put first to achieve their own goals... You're still drinking his champagne, hooking up with other people he's introduced you to, having a great time enjoying PSF, learning stuff you couldn't have otherwise, and have entered into a mutually exclusive agreement to be buddies and not really dwell upon subjects that the host may take offense to, or become uncomfortable with before he says "party's over".
Everybody has the right and pleasure to say whatever they want, wherever they want... I support that. I just feel that threads like these that straddle the line of appropriateness so precariously are prone to get some nasty remarks.
Everybody chill... the drinks are on the house.
