With discussions becoming off track.
Many of my threads and posts in the Marshall Forum were being attacked and deleted / edited / blocked by moderators with an increasing agenda.
Essentially, they are determined to prevent all sides of an issue from being read by forum members.

And these issues which I talk about : are not political issues.

I was the first in the Marshall forum to raise the alarm concerning Corona Virus. This was the longest thread in the history of the Marshall forum.
But the moderators literally hijacked my thread, locked me out of my own thread, took over control of my thread.

Most recently an article about "Super-Spreaders" of COVID-19, which I posted, cited 42 sources of medical references from respected medical journals. (they deleted it)
They will also delete any information relating to the Virus which was published by the World Health Organization.
Basically the finding is:
Research indicated that 80% of all these infections are caused and spread only by few certain individuals.

In other words: we're not really all infecting each-other as previously assumed.
Rather the virus is being spread in a way which few people imagined possible. Mostly Only by certain individuals, who are Super Carriers of the virus.

This was actually really great news, medically speaking.
It suggests that by identifying the "super carriers," the Pandemic could be ended in a few months, rather than years.

Welcome full time AMS, I've always enjoyed your contributions.

I did read a thread over there last week with some dude just attacking you- on a personal level. Was impressed with your restraint.

I, obviously only speak for myself, but it's good to have you as a member, I know you have helped me on more than one occasion.

If you ever get to where you miss that other place just p.m. me, I will insult you and it'll feel just like being there!

Seriously, good to have you bro.
 
I had the same experience there too AMS. I was shut down once or twice. I sorta do not agree with your latest on the corona virus, but that's a discussion for another time. I do not agree with the medical monopoly including biotech and vaccines, and so that's a big deal at play. I believe the pandemic is not what it seems and can be related to EMF poisoning. See The invisible Rainbow for more about the electrification of the planet. I'll probably post a controversial video on the topic of the pandemic soon enough.

At least one of my posts was taken down. So I am glad to be here. About 15 years ago or so, I used to be on The Gear Page, and Harmony Central too. My biggest highlight was at EverythingSG forum where Elliot Easton of the Cars, gave me the best tip for Bigsby whammy-bar installs that do not go out of tune when using the bar. He had the unique opportunity of having great guitars built for him by Gretsch and Gibson both, so he was in a uniquely good position to advise such things. Because Gretsch is the number one Guitar maker using many bigsby trems, so they know how to do it right, which is a float bridge, or roller bridge. You can also use graphite blades for the bridge, but usually it's a floating / rocking bridge, or it's a roller.
 
Too bad because it's got so much potential. I bought my JCM 800 through a member of that forum about 12 years ago or so. I saw a post from Ace Frehley, and was amazed as he was a long time guitar hero. Glad to hear he's been not drinking for years, as people tend to say he was quite the drinker back then.

Cool place here. I'm glad for less oppressive censorship. You mean uncommon ideas are allowed here!?! LOL
 
I am very happy to have you both here. Please post anything you think may help your fellow forum members stay safe from the Corina virus, like the best hand sanitizer or mask. But please... please... please..no controversial topics, or information about the insidious nature of certain organizations.

Although we often deviate from the primary topic of music, the remainder of topics should be light hearted enough that it would be difficult to have 2 sides, like what you are grilling, or mourning the loss of a loved one, or that you need good vibes because you are sick, or beautiful photography, or your car project, as some examples.

Thank you,

The thing that works at MF with me is ... have shared the stage with a few on it & it helps when the BS starts to fly.

Week by week weening off gear sites... they help with research but the amount of false info & personal agendas & the gang mentality is not worth taking the time away from making music.

when the focus leaves the gear & goes into life..it gets tricky ... somethings can be talked about others not,,, like life...let it roll... you can not censor life.. i cant even talk about much in a way ... so gear sites taking my beliefs away...nah... stronger than that..don't need to whine & find others to go after certain beliefs & stifle them.. yeah life is unfair..but still got to get up each morning & be a ,man..go to work..take care of family...community..no matter what the blank is going on

How about we share information-
Non-political, which may help to save somebody's life? Including my life.
Is that so senseless?

Thanks Steve, I rather do miss my daily thrashing for suggesting trouble shooting instead of randomly replacing parts based on imagination.

We don't know if he is actually Ace Frehley, but I thanked him because I enjoyed the concert.
Yes I have attended 6 Kiss concerts. And loved it.

actually thought abut this & talked with Mrs for a bit. Is the social platforms really worth taking any time away from actually living the real life.?.yes info is good..but the social media has become so slanted... so agenda bound.


the info sharing is fine.. but each of us must be entitled to all the info..not a forced ..what you get is what"they" give you. Info sharing if ..all & i mean, all, can share equally..


we worked through this incident..every race..in the city..country... around all walks of life. 4 techs did not get sick.. i did, but it was a very bizarre sickness that is finally fading.

Family member in Montgomery County PA did get the virus in March..is a grocery store worker, 45 year old female . That was one of the first hot spots we saw here with NJ connections. They shut that county down fast !!

If info can go with , what you know & what i know..without the theory.. that is the info i look for. not what the dude on TV tells us..but what you actually experienced & i experienced..then what we can share is precious.. but the fighting over the "what we don't know" seems to sidetrack it all..everytime..then the personal attacks start & that is what they want..to make it all blurred so fact is sorta buried

Now that I hear you guys, I would rather be in this forum than any other.
Thanks
No really, I appreciate you.

Every now and then, I would venture into the Marshall Amp Forum in search of amp-related info. I definitely noticed some of your knowledgeable contributions over there, and took note of your username. But... unfortunately I also noticed a few very condescending and disrespectful replies aimed at you. This type of BS happens a lot at many other forums, and I think it's embarrassing. Allow me to re-welcome you again to TTR... uhm... Welcome to TTR... :cheers:

I worked on tube amps 45 years.
I ran service for Fender, Acoustic, Vox, Kustom, Marshall, Boogie, Gibson, Moog, Peavey and on and on...
I was sharing what I learned in the hope that they could know in 5 minutes, instead of spending decades to find answers.
There were questions that nobody could answer. Lots of questions.
I went after the solutions, because the problems drove me bonkers. I found a lot of my own answers through suffering and testing for hundreds and hundreds of hours.

But because of that, I accumulated a lot of solutions that nobody else thought of.
It didn't make me rich. But I knew the answers.
It's not self promotion. It's preserving an art form that would be lost.
I don't sell any of this.
It doesn't make any money.

I guess I just did it because it was fun.

Don't be fooled. Vin is absolutely joking about being Ace, it's a longtime running joke.
 
Another thing to keep in mind: that forum is much larger than this one is, and because of that the culture is quite different. I get along with most people there pretty well, but I often keep my opinion to myself, especially regarding hotbutton subjects.

Awesome! Bravo Sir, your time was well spent, with the exception of spending it on those that did not appreciate your effort - but who knew!
