You came in and expressed your opinion on modeling and then went off on guitar modeling and how you can't imagine recording or playing live with modeling gear. I gave you the is it live or is it memorex analogy which you blew right by. From there it was plain to see there was no middle ground to be found, we are on opposite sides of the fence on this topic. Oh Blah de Oh blah dah.

I was only voicing my skepticism about the new mic modeling “turning the world of mics upside down”, or whatever.
I wasn’t the one that brought “pods” into the discussion, I simply said that I was never impressed with Line 6 amps and that I didn’t expect any more from their mics.
EZ asked me surprisingly if I ever/never used pods…???...and once I told him that I had no purpose for them…he spent 3-4 pages trying to tell my why they had a purpose, and me telling him that *for me* they had NO purpose.
Of course…that didn’t sit well, and as usual, when you say something negative about a piece of gear or technology, someone will immediately counter and that will push up the debate…that’s how/why it went back-n-forth for a few pages…
and I will point out it takes at least two people to make it go back-n-forth.

Unless you always agree with people…this is what happens on forums, but I don’t have a problem with that…that’s what forums are about…debates, discussions and differing views.
Trouble is…some people sooner or later, resort to personal, mocking attacks. That usually stems from lack of substance in their debate position and a lack of character in their personality.
Once that occurs…all’s fair after that, and I’m not going to just sit there and take it without returning them the favor.
EZ came back several times into the thread every time the debate died down…and kept pushing it, and pushing it…finally turning it into a Junior High name calling effort.
AFA his “fame”…whatever….we all have “remember back when” stories.

I’ve had the long hair…played in hard rock bands…gigged around the NE…gave it up…got into studio life…etc…etc…etc….life is funny that way, it makes you go through changes.
I’m not stuck in my youth…I’ve moved on. I still do all kinds of music (I’m sure some of it ain’t gonna win me any points with the usual forum crowd)…though I still get back to my early roots when the mood strikes me. I may even get back out with a Rock/Blues one of these days for the fun of it…but I certainly don’t cling to my past.
Anyone can critique my music freely…if I was thin skinned with a fragile ego, I would never put my music up on public websites!

Though when people go beyond “critiques” and instead resort to mocking and name calling…but don’t put up anything current of theirs (not what they did 20 years ago)…
…well, that tells me who I’m dealing with.
I don't know what circles you run in then. Probably 80% of the bands out there have at least one same sex type person in it. Some openly, some not. Do you not record any bands? Never seen any? Have no interest in any? Bands that is. What do you record then? Birds? Rain? Maybe a line 6 isn't for you then.
I really don’t know what you’re trying to say….???
“Same sex” is not the same thing as “transsexual”.
Of COURSE bands have “same sex” people! If you have 5 guys in the band, they are all the “same sex”…but that doesn’t make any of them transsexuals…at least not in any bands I’ve ever been in!

And the women that were in my bands…were real women…trust me.
