What do you guys think about this subject?

YOUR SO F'N GAY, LA'GUIT! AND YOU HAVE A GAY NAME TOO! ;)

J/K of course. Yes, it's so common for people to flame others, and I have to admit, I've let myself get caught up in some. Then sanity strikes, and I just ignore them (and to think I used to be a "chat host" for AOL.)

Now, I just try to give praise to those vids I like. Because of a YT vid, I bought a Behringer TO800 tube overdrive pedal, and I have on the way a Peavey amp- the same amp the guy used ('cept I got the Envoy, not the Bandit.)

From another YT poster, I got a 60 pg. tabbed version of "Clap"- a tune I've been working on for a million years. Anyone want a copy, PM me.

Now that I've learned to ignore the flamers/haters, I've actually made "friends " with some YTubers.

On a different note, if you want to see something I personally think is hysterical, search in YT a poster by the name of St. Sanders- he posts stuff like "Santana Shreds, Clapton shreds," etc. Then send the link to a friend to check out the "amazing" shredding.

Yes, things are certainly strange online. That's why I don't allow my daughter to publish anything public online in her facebook page. But there's upsides- like this site- I LOVE THIS SITE and its members. Everyone is so helpful and friendly.
