I am closing this thread. It is no longer useful.

In general, we do not permit ongoing arguments between members on this site. Eventually, somebody will have to leave.

I have the ultimate authority over this forum. I don't often exercise that authority. But, it is my job to decide two things:

1. is it necessary to the ongoing harmony of the site that somebody be forced to leave

2. if so, who?

We are still on point 1. I don't know that it is necessary that somebody leave. But by next week it may be.


In my official capacity,
I would recommend the following to those involved in this heated discussion:

1. re-read the GT rules thread
http://www.guitartricks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10453

2. avoid an argument during the next week

3. in future, try saying things like: "one way of looking at it is this...."
