Pete DuBaldo - What's up with your username?

[zif]

I'm not so sure I trust Pete. I have done extensive research on this so called "friendly distributor of Balls" and anagrams of his name reveal:

Bloated Dupe
A Lubed Depot
Loaded Up Bet
Peed Tub Load

And the most damning one of all...

A Loud Bed Pet

WOW, You need a hobby...LOL

Why is genius so often associated with a lack of other things to do, or having too much time on one's hands? I spent about 3 minutes total with the initial post....

Very Clever,

But you may want to get the mods to edit yer title to ensure it's clear that it's a joke.

Anyone just skimming over the forum may take it the wrong way.

Pete's got a great sense of humour, but as a fellow business owner with my name on it, I certainly know how important it is to maintain the integrity of that name.

and "TRUST" is the most important attribute of all.

Holy S**t, that thread title is gonna look bad on a search engine results page for Pete!

The title begs a question not an answer. The answer could be anything, both positive or negative. And anyone who actually reads the post knows it is a compliment, as well as a joke. But as always...if a joke needs to be explained, it becomes other than a joke and not funny.

Ah well, I try.

While I think what's inside this thread is hilarious, and you did a helluva job with those anagrams (I love fooling around with those things online) I think the title could use some work.

I was skimming this section and went "WTF, this %#* NEVER BOUGHT ANYTHING FROM ME, AND HE IS QUESTIONING MY INTEGRITY?!?!"


I've been getting entirely too much undeserved attention on here lately, think I might take some time off.

How? It is a question plain and simple.

Many positive threads / statements start out that way.

This board is very defensive.

 

[THE_EB_KID]

Counseling, you may need counseling..LOL!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

If your thread read "Pete DuBaldo - What's up with your username?" that would be fine. Wording your thread the way you did is ridiculous.

That's like me starting a thread

"zif - is he a jackass?"

I think what you put inside the thread is great, but you have worded your title in a VERY inflammatory way.

As funny as the Loaded Up Bet is, this title needs to change or the thread needs to go.

 

[mesadualrec]

This board is quite defensive because it is a corporate forum where the owner of the product is a VERY active member of the board

the forum is also used by alot of dealer/distributors and this board is one(if not thee) of the best places to source information about EBMM guitars

it isnt like other boards where thinks can afford to slip through,any slandering to the company or a dealer has to be put right as there are many customers who will use this forum to find what they need about the company/dealers or specific products.

I say change the tittle,it wont harm anyone to do so

Sorry Pete. We only tease those we like, you know. I figured at worst this post would just have people laughing and associate your name with it. But I guess you guys are right, that's not a great sales tactic.

Guess I'll just stick to lurking.

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Don't lurk, keep posting. I thought this thread was a good read. You just need to relax on the titles

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Better yet

"Pete DuBaldo - what's up with your username?"

 

[zif]

If your thread read "Pete DuBaldo - Can I trust him?" that would be fine. Wording your thread the way you did is ridiculous.

That's like me starting a thread

"zif - is he a jackass?"

I think what you put inside the thread is great, but you have worded your title in a VERY inflammatory way.

Well, this thread certainly turned out wrong. My apologies, I wont do it again.

 

[brasco68]

Mis-guided titles, and mis-placed frowny faces...are we ever going to learn?

Hope to do business with you one day Pete...

 

[mesadualrec]

yeah the content of this post if fantastic(it must have taken you a while)


and its actually VERY funny but my first impression upon reading the tittle was that Pete had done something stupid resulting in slander against his name.


With a changed tittle this thread could be diamond but as it stands it isnt great for Pete's business,


please do not lurk,post away especially if the content is gonna be a good as this ones

That's what I'm sayin

 

[mesadualrec]

[Dizzy]

Zif, Here's one for your name that's very suitable for your thread ::

FIZ !




Just kiddding mate.
