you see, Kirk is a virtuoso, and he happens to be one of the greatest guitar players around. if you deny that, thats just plain ignorance.

See, like you said somewhere in your post, it's all a matter of opinion. Your opinion is that Kirk is one of the greatest around, but does that make someone who does not agree with that opinion ignorant? Nope, it does not. If anything, it's ignorant to call people who do not agree with your opinion ignorant.

Personally I think Kirk is great at what he does, the perfect man for the job, but I do not think his guitarplaying is all that good.

Forums like these often end up in fights because people tend to express their own ideas and opinions as facts, which very easily irritates people.
