BREAKING UP NICE OLD RICKS FOR PROFIT...

[tomt3]

[quote="jingle_jangle"]While we surely don't mean "idiot" in any literal sense, the meaning is accurately conveyed. My own experiences with this dishonest character should inform anyone who deals with him. Of course he is "filling a need", but that in itself is the single lowest-level definition of capitalist enterprise, and tends to be the province of the cynically-minded profiteer. Some of us are outraged because his cynicism is the polar opposite of our own appreciation of beauty and quality of construction. Our instruments are the product of thoughtful human effort, and as such products they represent well that effort and thought and reflect those attributes to anyone sensitive enough to understand and appreciate them.

Well stated. Thank you for speaking my mind. If I would have used a#*hole, would that really have meant that I thought he was brown and hairy?? Now that is silly. C'mon, now, lighten up, let's jam and have fun
