Wow. Is it really that difficult to understand that this post attracted a lot of flags and a good number of members didn’t like it, or are you working hard at being argumentative?

Obviously it's not difficult to understand that - I've actually read the topic in full. Believe it or not, that's why I ended up posting.

I'm working hard at providing a perspective that is being missed; it's not simply a case of being amused by the standard of someone's playing, nor the fact that they've chosen to make it public, nor the fact that they own an expensive and hard-to-obtain guitar, nor is it just about the style in which they have packed all these and other elements together in one potentially mildly amusing video. 

If trying to provide a different perspective to yours is considered being argumentative here, so be it.

I'll shut up and let you carry on being outraged.

You are allowed to post on here without having to end every comment with a comment like that.. but you knew that already. 

Anyway, I’m not outraged. I’m making a suggestion that others don’t find it funny as a reflection of the flags. That’s what I’m here to do.

^ Wow, people actually went to the effort of flagging comments in this thread ?

People flag all sorts of stuff, all the time.

Eh? So the OP is laughing at the guy in the video’s ability to own a rare and expensive guitar that the OP has just bought himself?

In which case the OP makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

...there is something about this vid that really tickles me, proudly owning a PSR Silver Sky Nebular certainly hasn't made him...

"there is something in this vid" is not the same as "this guys playing", the latter being merely one element that alone, or in a different context, would not be able to tickle to quite the same degree. Had he filmed himself in a room playing a Strat (or less rare and sought after Silver Sky) I doubt this topic would exist, as there'd be little in it to be amused by.

(I obviously can't speak for the OP, but they've been here a while, and YouTube has plenty of videos of not-so-great playing, I don't recall seeing the OP sharing or commenting before, so I guess the context here might just be slightly different, no?)

If he’s doing as you say, he’s done it in a way that isn’t obvious to most here. Granted, it’s another way of reading it, but I doubt he was being quite that subtle or obtuse. Besides which, he’s slated playing he doesn’t like before so it’s not exactly out of form. It’s ok though as he’s just enriching the character of his internet persona

Which is a massive bell end... a five figure bell end in fact!...

Sure, that's exactly the reason I posted comments here.

Flagg has been flagged?

This sets a dangerous precedent. Before you know it, Kitty will have been frisked, poo will have been potted and I will have undergone a prostate examination.

There's an angry mob gathering outside as I type this, so incensed with moral outrage that they are resorting to unimaginative and poorly thought out insults, I fear I will have to flee the country before they burn the building, either that or just stay in bed today and masturbate while watching Homes Under The Hammer.

Can't say I blame you, that Martin Roberts is well lush.

Quite hard to keep up to the high standards of imaginative and well-thought-out content you continue to gift the forum.
