Can Anyone Explain The Controversy Over Rob Chapman?

Could we have a NO MORE ROB CHAPMAN THREADS sign to tap now ?

So here we are again, a bunch of guitar nuts, having a go at someone who has made a bit of a life for themselves doing the thing we enjoy.  Why?   Just leave the bloke alone.  

Because Chapman broke rule 1 of the forum.....bigtime

...he talked about Fretboard Club?

Dang.

Don't you have to be a member in order to be subject to the rules?  I mean I've probably, in theory, broken the rules of golf clubs or Masonic lodges all over the country - by wearing the wrong type of shoes or not wearing a tie or something - but I'm not a member of any of them.  And I've never been there.

Surely an aspirational (but not very cute) little pumpkin?

You know what, I hadn't even clocked that this was a necro bump.
Well spotted, my bad... as they allegedly say today.

My theory is that threads like this exist to train a GSMA 'bot to generate deepfake Chappers bashing threads automatically. 

Thus, every time that Chappers makes an ill-advised pronouncement on social media, the 'bot can spew out all of this forum's standard knee jerk reaction comments.

He’s living his best life as the yoof online say so god bless him for it.

The irony being that if Chappers had ever been caught "necro bumping" then he might deserve the vitriol he gets on here.

Musicians are more resentful than a husband and wife in a 70s sitcom.

Oops, I was reading the other thread, followed a link here & must have gotten lost reading about some guy who may or may not play the guitar &/or buy guitars.
