Hellbanning

Relax, guitarman... You and Bob just like to gang up on people. You, in particular, can be quite vulgar on this board... for that you should be ashamed of yourself.

But if that's how you were raised, there's nothing we can do about that. 
(Let's count how many times you use the word "fuck" on here.  Just about every newbie gets a taste of your F bombs.)

I think the only threads I get puffed up on are when they start throwing outthings like "That's why America is the most hated country in the world".

Now if you'd like to discuss your guitar collection, which you were "scoreboarding" with... I also take a little objection to that.

First off, it started in the VOX AC 30 thread. I did not reference you at all, I simply stated that "The only "experience" I've had on the newer models is walking away from them.".

Even Bob was able to post something and didn't take offense. BUT YOU...WHO DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE STONES TO HAVE AN AC 30 had to respond with

[QUOTE]Pay no attention to Microwave, Togg. He was being a sarcastic smartass there, as is typical of his character.[/QUOTE]

ignoring the fact that you know NOTHING about a good quality amp because all you have is a practice amp you insult me and shrug off the fact that maybe I have about 10 years experience playing VOX, Marshall, and Fender amps.

So, by all means, research.  I think you'll find I'm pretty laid back, fairly intellegent, but highly opinionated.  You are just an ass to everyone except your "buddies" because you met them at a Queen Convention.  Big deal.

By the way, Panchgani & I even had our differences and probably still do, but we don't sling insults for no reason at each other.

If we both had been banned, then you would have nothing to do today. Think positive.

[/QUOTE] WHY DO YOU KEEP INSISTING I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AMPS?! Just because I'm not rich like other people doesn't equal me having zero knowledge about amplifiers. You repeatedly attacking me based on false assumptions coming from out of nowhere and trying to bully me with your own personal achievements just to make me look bad only serves to highlight what a judgmental bully you really are.

If that were the case, then why would you say

"Pay no attention to Microwave, Togg. He was being a sarcastic smartass there, as is typical of his character."

Why, instead, would you not offer your insights on the AC 30? Because you have none. You made the choice to go with the gear you wanted. You probably shouldn't have responded to the AC30 thread at all.

Instead, you gave us some of your clever, typical, bashing comments and expected no reply?

So I concluded, correctly, that you just don't know anything about real guitar amps since you brought nothing but BS to the discussion.

I discussed tubes, field density, quality of construction.... you discussed how I'm a smartass.

Although, throughout this whole thread, I have come up with something clever.... and I'll even give you credit for it...
[QUOTE]SQUIER GUITARS - Just because I'm not rich like other people[/QUOTE]

And let's see how I  bullied you with my own personal achievements.  I'll go in chronological order... My next post after Inu-liger's "smartass" accusation: [QUOTE]Grow up, inu-liger. We're talking about guitar amps here, something you know nothing about. The newones just dont seem to have any gas. There's a reason they didn't have a master volume control... not just Brian but everyone played them at max level. I think part of the reason is that everyone wants to practice with them, so we have to redesign it so you can turn it down. That, and the cheaper parts and construction just make em a far cry from what they used to be. That said, I NEVER take my 30 out to just any gig... they are definitely not a road worthy amp after so many years. [/QUOTE] A quick STFU and back to the topic.  But then you had to keep it going: [QUOTE]Oh, and what source do you have to back up your oh-so-assertive conclusive statement? NONE. And not that I really need to, but here's where I prove you wrong once again: << >> Posted: 15 Feb 12, 02:40 Micrówave wrote: Grow up, inu-liger.

And not that I really need to, but here's where I prove you wrong once again: Enough said.[/QUOTE] Interesting.  Here it appeared you TRIED to "Bully me with your personal achievements" first.  Unfortunately, you brought a knife to a gunfight. My reply: [QUOTE]Oh my god, you didn't just post a picture of your Peavey Raptor and some Squier guitar did you?!?!? Hehehe. But back to the topic, what say you... guitarboy... do you like the amp or not? And a Peavey practice amp and Digitech pedal!!! Hahahahahahaha. Never mind.  You don't need a Vox amp.. you're doing just fine there.  Your amp should be sufficient. [/QUOTE] So that's how I came to the conclusion that you don't know much about quality amps.  No bullying involved and I hadn't even gotten to my Bullying Personal Achievement that hurt you so deeply... [QUOTE]Here's my keyboard (Nord Electro 3) which costs more than EVERYTHING in your picture about to be played in front of 40,000 people and national TV (ABC) in Dallas on New Year's Eve a 1½ months ago.  We headlined.  I think I know a little bit about amplifiers. That's a Valley Arts Electric you can slightly see in the picture as well...  again, costs more than EVERYTHING in your picture. (Picture of 40,000 people, a Nord keyboard, Valley Arts and Martin Guitars and me) [/QUOTE] So let's just end this and realize you and Bob have been being asses lately, you much more than he.  In fact, he only gets mad at me AFTER I have defended some Anti-American rhetoric on here.  I CHALLENGE him to say it's ever been more than that.  You, you're just a d-head.

I will admit I am an ass at times. And I can be more difficult than need be. But when people attack me on a personal level with baseless accusations, I will not sit back and take it silently.

Anyways, let's get back to the original topic at hand which had nothing to do with you in the first place. If you want to continue this, keep it to PM's, or god forbid if you're man enough, let's have a vocal discussion on Skype sometime. And I'm being legit here, I am OPEN to having a one-on-one conversation with you.

I wanted to write something childish, but I see it's been done already.

I don't "Skype" and I've decided (after the Photoshop Picture) that I will not give out my facebook on Queenzone, because the kids here will post obscene stuff, or try to contact my friends, etc... although, I am pretty easy to find.

But we have to NOT have separate rules or start threads like this one. This was a horrible thread / subject to start and what made it worse was that you two were instigating it... then hopping over to other threads to do the same thing you're complaining about.

I think Richard sees the greater good. We want traffic on this site. Just like Queen wants to sell records. Sometimes you have to bring on Paul Rodgers or Adam Lambert but the end result is more album & ticket sales and more money in pocket.

I'd like to apologize to all those who were on pins and needles waiting for Microwave's facebook for any of the 35 years or whatever that's he's been here. Clearly the Photoshopped pic and implicit intention to contact his facebook friends two weeks ago or whatever could not have been more ill timed. I'm deeply sorry. If I were Japanese I'd go all seppuku, but I'm Canadian so I'm just going to laugh out loud instead.

Microwave...QOL moderates their forums to filter out pretty much the same type of crap me and Bob were complaining about, and they still see a lot more user activity than we do. (Hell, they even banned Treasure Moment a long time ago!)

Are you even aware that they mock Queenzone a lot for how much crap we let go on here?

So you're saying I should care about QOL Users and Moderators mocking Queenzone? Really?

Again, I think you're overstepping realty here. It's a forum, a rather small one. Does someone really need to waste their time moderating this stuff?

Do I need to contact YV about how GratefulFan just took another shot atme and I don't know what to do about it?

No, I actually chuckled at it for a moment.  It's called self moderation... and we're all doing it right now!!!  Amazing!

Unfortunately, though, your input is really not needed in this thread, but thanks for playing.  I believe that was a dialogue between inu-liger and myself that you decided to jump on.  Next time watch for words like "Hey GratefulFan" or something similar.

SIDE NOTE:

But you started this whole crap between me and you.  You took a shot at me in the AC 30 thread all on your own.  I hadn't referenced you or your guitar "collection".

So how can you "not sit back and take it silently" when you instigated it?

That's not really how forums work. But consider any expression of melodramatic aggrievement over some silly scribbled or pictorial utterance of mine the equivalent of "Hey GratefulFan" anyway. :)
