So basically, he wants to ensure there’s no other way we can file our taxes without him being paid for it…

If it looks like a grift, acts like a grift, and smells like a grift,

It’s probably Trump, in a diaper, grifting.

Okay… I have to chime in here.

I’ll say- it entirely depends on the Strat, and it entirely depends on the player. For instance, Gilmour used a strat for the Comfortably Numb solos. Tell me of a guitar/guitarist that can sing better than that!

But if I had to pick, I’d say PRS are an overall best. It’s just that Mr. Gilmour will always be the exception to ALL of the rules.

DISCLAIMER: I am a bassist of 30+ years and I’ve never owned a fender product in my life.

Not if it’s easily obtained publicly available information.

So why did you ask?

No. You cannot.

I pressed the demo button on a keyboard in a music store once.

My second album will be out next month if anyone is interested.

I always daydreamed life would someday look like the cover of Somewhere in time by Iron Maiden:

[NARRATOR]: They were never given a name.

This is a great resource! Thank you.

Yes non voters suck but they aren’t 263 million.

No, in fact; they are 91 million. Which is plenty enough to have made a difference between a win and a loss for democracy.

Their comment is not false. If enough non voters voted, things would be very different now.

You made a call and were actually able to speak with someone? How does one do this exactly?

Is that an actual sentence?

Anytime I see a quote from 30 Rock, it gets an upvote.

you’re some kinda masochist?

No. I knew right away because It’s pretty easy to tell when someone barges into a discussion, aggressively defending themselves against accusations that weren’t even levied against them.

And by the way- I’m pretty sure “yapping away” isn’t a trait commonly known to be possessed by masochists. So, I’m not certain what this mess was about, but it does lend to my theory that you’re just throwing shit at a wall to see what sticks.

Who is trolling who?

Considering that I told you some time ago that I’m not open to discuss this topic with you as I don’t believe you’re here in good faith and only want to argue, and you keep accusing me of things in order to continue arguing, I’d say you’re the troll here. I’m simply giving you the grounds to prove it.

you’ve exerted tremendous effort to not answer

It’s funny how you have taken note of this, but not the fact that I’ve told you several times that I don’t wish to discuss this with you because I don’t believe you to be here in good faith to discuss it. And yet- you continue to respond to antagonize and accuse- thus proving my point.

And you keep bringing up that you weren’t talking to me

That is probably because I wasn’t.

That’s not how this format of public discourse works

One would think that in the “format of public discourse” if one is asked to drop it because the other doesn’t wish to discuss it with them, that they would drop it. But here we are.

Plenty of people jump in at various points in a thread and it creates many forks.

And the fork you created is one in which you became immediately defensive and aggressively attacked a point I wasn’t even making with meritless pretend discussions. That’s childish rhetoric. I don’t debate against childish rhetoric. This will have to be okay with you.

I can draw you a diagram if that would help you.

It would. Your next response had better contain one or I will be disappointed. And make it pretty.

So if I refuse to fall for your debate trolling, I’m suddenly “moving goalposts,” and “displaying classic signs of projection”.

Toss in “virtue signaling” and we’ll have the trifecta of accusatory psychobabble- but I suppose your weird little fantasy conversation between us can be a place-holder for that.

Either way, no. You lost this one the moment you barged in with your own little “REEEEEEEEE!” when I wasn’t even talking to- or about you. I knew right away that it would be a wasted effort.

And there’s no crime in simply responding in defense to your accusations. Stop blindly accusing me of whatever you think will stick, and this discussion will be over.

It’s up to you.

Well, if your expectations are based on previous situations where you entered a discussion that wasn’t directed at you and you acted with a similar defensive aggression, I suppose I can see how you’d have predicted my reluctance to discuss anything with you.

Learn how to talk to people that you disagree with. It’s a very valuable life skill.

You expected me to bow out because you’re looking for an argument?

Weird.
