ORIGINAL: Tom Blackshear It could be that he is a born teacher, mentally, and he has not arrived there yet with some of his credentials, or as many as you think he should have. This might be a clear reason for helping a person along instead of acting rude. Keep giving him suggestions and if you are insulted with his posts, then the most polite thing to do is not respond, or just say, "I don't agree." To degrade a person's character is not acceptable to me but I will speak out against any system of reference that I don't agree with. You are a good guy, and have the right intentions. All here would agree with your intent in this thread....but there is much humor going on here that you are not seeing, and only seeing some sort of ridicule of an individual. You are not up to speed on history behind this character and the events up to date, so no one can blame you for not understanding what was going on here. It is quite extensive, and unfortunately much of the event have been deleted from the archives of this site. So no offense, but you simply are commenting and defending person without knowing what happened. I personally don't find the humor of it "fun" anymore, not because it is wrong to have a light hearted "gang up" making fun of someone, but because what I felt the individual in question was and has been doing is very seriously BAD, and recent events have made me really upset about it. The polite methods you suggest are true, but were all done in the past, with surprising negative results. My sarcastic comment about Barbero was not fair again to you since you are not aware. The individual selling this guitar, claims and refers to each one of the modern designs as "patterned after" either Barbero, Esteso, Santos, etc....even worse SPECIFIC instruments with dates (see Estevan's post above), as if these copies are capturing spanish guitar building purity and perfection. I hope you can see I was poking fun at the concept, and hope this also reveals a bit of the psychotic mind set we are dealing with here. Ricardo Thanks Ricardo, I realize that I'm a little late getting into this thread, so I'll have to agree that everyone here is probably more knowledgeable about this issue than I. But I hold to a certain dialog that doesn't come back and cause me problems, in the mix. If I treat all men with respect, then it turns out better in the end; at least for this lowly guitar maker :-) Keeping playing in good health.
