If everybody is like "hey , it's just a guitar forum" ... This is total indifference , cuz everybody has the right to say his opinion in public and discuss it as long as it doesn't turn to personal abuse , and this thread was pretty nice & clean .
What would be so cool with democracy if everybody is negative about discussing his opinion with others?
Actualy , discussions like this is what make importance for the public opinion ... This helps spreading truth, & make some people change their minds , and somehow it may have an impact on the governments through elections , strikes , media , etc.
