Jack, thanks for this. My bass-playing daughter would love to be an endorsee some day, and I would hate to have her subjected to some of the comments. She hears enough of those at high school.

Jack,

Since you posted this is on the "bass" thread, does this apply to the guitar side too?

lol

I consider this one of the very few civilized music forums available, let's keep it as cool as the other side of the pillow.

I hear ya and will follow the rules, it's just I am Irish and tend to get the butt end of the jokes and abuse ( not here) and I would admit to making a stupid comment about the French but it's just my sense of humour. It won't happen again I. can see your point.
Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt you, I can still here my mum singing it to me when I was a kid I just think it's a pity it not true anymore. People get " offended" to easy now days. But yes I totally see your point and sorry to any nation I may have offended in the past.
The bit about the girls could not be more true I posted a pic of our singer a few months ago and was very unsure about doing it but I am Awful proud of her, that said we did keep it clean that time!
Your house your rules BP and I won't break them ( again!)

There will always be - always should be - the good natured give and take between the guitar players and the real musicians.

I mean, guitar players and bass players.

Due to all the **** talking my friend will no longer be on this forum. It would be nice if everyone could live by the golden rule! BP has a great forum here, please show some respect to fellow human beings. There was no need for this to happen!

I've had a conversation with the person in question (let's leave names out of it in case things work out, which they often do) and have explained the situation as best I can. No one was attacked, there were no sexual innuendos, it was simply a joke that was meant one way (harmless) and taken another (personal insult).

Joking around with each other was not meant to stop. There is a history of such things, in fact, of deflating each others' balloons and so on. If every time someone said something vaguely insulting to me I slammed the laptop closed and decided I'd been grievously injured somehow, my laptop would be broken beyond repair and I'd be in therapy. So....

....I think we can move on from this.
