| I think anyone is certainly acting like a moron when they call a complete stranger a moron. Furthermore, it's rude.
Yeah, I probably would've kept the mic myself. In fact, I probably would have tried to negotiate a really low cost deal so I could have both tubes - they do eventually go bad, so why not have some options. And yes, I agree that a good mic is a good mic, but if someone else decides to get rid of it and has his needs otherwise met (he said he's got other mics), well... while I may challenge his decision with the Peluso, I'm not going to jump on his ass and tell him what a screw up his entire life is...
...over (God-forbid) a flipping microphone? Come on. I guess this separates the gear users from the true gearslutz. And if the latter entitles us to be rude to one another, I can only say this...
That I pity the people who have to work with such critics in their perfect-I-never-make-mistakes studios where they may not pay attention to what they're working on anyway because they have to go around the internet creating logins (?) just to criticize another human being.
And as for you, Mr. Soupking, in the Peluso's defense... you probably should have been more forgiving. False advertisement is one thing, and it can be frustrated. And you have every right to do what you want to do, but just remember this, you need to be forgiven too, so you'd better try and be gracious (not holding resentment in your heart for A YEAR AFTER a mistake is made, even after it was apologized for!?), or how will anyone forgive you when you make a mistake?
TO ALL, I'm no philosopher... but let's try and be CONstructive with each other, for each other, etc. We're all in the same boat... we're all human, and we're all chasing after what we hear in our imaginations, which can be a very difficult, very taxing, very expensive job to accomplish.
So be slow to criticize, my man.
Ever read about Jesus? If he was God and didn't come to judge, who are we to judge? I've got enough of my own problems to address.
Peace to all - brad |
