and now it's even funnier. Please don't change it!I never realized I never changed it...
I responded to the original posters request for comments/suggestions. Since I have actual experience in getting the gig bag issue satisfactorily resolved I shared my experience. Nothing more or less. I didn't intend to make any additional comments. There was a negative comment made using my reply as a basis. I didn't infer anything. This was nothing more than another belligerent comment by the same heavy-handed admin telling me for the umpteenth time I was wrong. This is the only forum I have been involved in where the moderators seem to think it is their mission to challenge and quell any opinion or action that does not agree with their own. When confronted with what other members see as belligerent or otherwise insulting behavior on their part, their response is to blame the person who finds their behavior insulting. Of course, I am sure my opinion on this subject is also flawed...I'm not bringing up old threads. I am responding to THIS one.
"Trouble starts when someone thinks the only acceptable opinion is one that coinsides with their own."
No one said any such thing. The trouble began when the insults started. The OP asked for suggestions and comments. He received them. I don't see him complaining of the comments.suggestions.
You 'inferred" that a comment was made about you. YOU took it personally, and reacted. Sorry, but that is your issue. Not the OP's and not the point of this thread.
An official response from the company was given. If that satisfies you, fine. If not, there is noting anyone can do about that.

Differences of opinion aren't treated heavy handedly here. Never have been.
If they were, I'd have been banned at least 50 times for disagreeing with the mods or whomever else.
So any reply disagreeing with you is now deemed to be "negative", or a "challenge". Sorry, but that dog won't hunt...
You don't like Hans. WE GET IT! But to keep bringing it up, every time he posts a dissenting opinion is folly...
The only heavy-handedness and belligerence here is the line you're laying down, Chris, and you're laying it on pretty thickly.
Maybe it's not the mods. Consider the possibility that maybe you're actually wrong sometimes like most humans?

Chris, your 'actual experience in getting the gig bag issue satisfactorily resolved' is to make a big stink about not getting something you knew you didn't pay for. Hans is not the only one here who believes brow beating dealers for free stuff just to make you happy and get out of their face is wrong. It is just as wrong to encourage others to use the same tactics. And you didn't just infer it - you actively advocated it.
Now...if it looks brand new, I'd go STORMING back in there and say...now WHY would you idiots put the wrong strings on this thing and not set it up? You know...why not just leave it as it was from the factory? I would make them put the proper gauge of strings back on and set it up as well as it was when it left the PRS USA shop. I would ALSO say...no..DEMAND a gigbag be thrown-in at no cost. Partly because they SHOULD come with one. OK..maybe they tell PRS to ship their guitars sans bag to save some money (which makes NO sense unless they were charging the "with bag" prices) but that is ridiculous. Don't the majority of us want/need a case of SOME sort? So I assume most GC PRS SE buyers then turn around and buy a case or bag. Why not just include it at first and charge a little more??? IDK...something just really STINKS about that.
God I'm pissed-OFF
You think there's somehow a justification for this "super duper" name calling nonsense?
I've read this thread and the others you linked...blah blah blah
That is terse? Dude, you obviously don't know me. That ain't even close to terse. But please, feel free to mock me and the playful moniker I use as a joke.
I don't hold grudges. I have no idea who you are, and no idea no idea what you were talking about until I went back and read that other thread.
It seems the same cannot be said for you. Feel free to be insulted, it was not my intent, and I refuse held responsible for your feelings.
The very fact that this thread stands and that your posts remain (unedited by us) is testament to the fact that your opinion is flawed...
Once again, stay if you wish, leave if you must. Reasonable complaints about PRS will never be silenced, nor deleted. But bashing of the company (and more importantly), the members here (including the mod staff, as we too are members), will not.
Jamie
Care to point out where that happened in this thread?
