I only quoted that particular part of you post, intentionally left off the parts where you attempted to insult me, and didn't insult you all to ask an actual question of you. For whatever reason I was trying to offer you an olive branch again.If your such a two face what's your plan when you get to Pearly Gates
Instead of answering or having a normal conversation you respond with this same type of bullshit you always do. And you probably wonder why you get shit on all the time. News flash, it's because of this.
I'll politely try again...
Most people plan for retirement by investing in the market through a 401K, IRA, TSP, etc. You don't invest in the market and I'm generally curious how you are planning to have income for retirement. They're about to cut social security benefits down; which doesn't really pay enough to solely live on anyway. I doubt you want to work until the day you die. Do you have some other avenue you're going down planning for retirement?

Nice try, but the proof is in the pudding. Kid likes to brag about how brilliant his predictions are, but he refuses to actually use them in any official capacity to benefit from them or prove he's actually brilliant. Because he's not.
It's kinda like the guy who brags about all the women he's slept with even though you've never actually seen him with a woman because deep down, he's gay. Kid is like that. He likes to brag about how smart he is, but deep down...he's gay.

This is why Kid catches hell all the time. He brings it on himself. No one is bullying or gatekeeping.
I legitimately put down the gauntlets to ask a serious question. I even took the time to explain I was offering an olive branch and start a normal conversation and this is what I get back from him. I've lost track of how many times I've done this and offered a truce. Every time it gets thrown back at my face. Not only me but others who you feel are gatekeeping and bullying him have done the same many times over with the same results.
This goes all the way back to when he first started posting at RT. To put it nicely his entrance was less than stellar and he pissed off several people. Even still many; including myself, gave him a second chance. We genuinely tried helping him redeem the bad entrance, make peace with the ones he irritated, and tried being on good terms. The hands offering friendship were slapped away.
It would be fine to ignore and move on; in fact that approach has been tried, if it weren't for the fact that he continually pokes the bear by directly and indirectly hurling labels and insults. Even with ignoring and trying to leave things be, his shit gets old. At some point what he's constantly dishing out is going to get returned.
I'm not saying any of this because I'm aggravated with Kid or you or anything like that. It's that you've accused me of gatekeeping and have made reference to a group of bullies who have targeted Kid while not seeming to know the plot. Just pointing out your assessments have been very off base and hoping you can understand things from another perspective.
I'm willing to put things to rest and leave Kid to his own devices as long as he's not continuing his shit towards me or my forum friends. Considering he's the one who started this, slapped away the olive branch multiple times, and continues with everything he's going to have to be the one to take the first step.
I'm assuming he'll read this since I quoted his post. A good first step for him to take would be to reply with "okay, we'll call a ceasefire" or something along those lines. No insults, no labels, no backhanded comments; just lets make a truce and stay out of each other's way.

I said a week or two ago I wasn't going to be interfering in your disputes with him any longer. It's 100% your business and I don't judge you for being angry with him. I get it. Sometimes certain personalities are going to clash hard.
If you really want peace, be the one to make it. Start with avoiding his threads. Stop entering threads he created that weren't pertaining to you and stop engaging his posts with return hostility. You recently made a thread mocking him. Now you are suggesting he should agree to a ceasefire. You want peace, but on your terms and when you suggest it. That isn't usually a successful approach, especially in his case. Again, it's irrelevant to me where you choose to take it, these are just some recommendations if you really want the conflict to come to an end.
As for the The-Kid, I was talking to another member the other day and he truly has torched just about every bridge he could've instead built on the forum. Considering the quality of the average forum member here vs just about every other guitar forum that is a shame. Anyways, I wish well for both of you.

I appreciate the sincere reply. A few things though...
1. If you're truly out of it; then why keep up the accusation that I'm gatekeeping Kid and making off handed comments about bullying him peppered throughout threads?
2. I've legitimately tried ignoring Kid and not responding to his posts for an extended time as a way to keep peace. He kept tagging me and others in his insult rants. As I said, even if he's ignored and left alone he still goes poking at the bear. Eventually it's going to come back. That's why I say he needs to take the steps. Can't exactly have a ceasefire when once party continues to lob grenades.
3. I'm assuming you're talking about the messing with my amp settings thread. That had nothing to do with Kid. I made it as a lighthearted jab at a couple others in the main forum talking about odd goings on. Something about someone snuck into the room an put a micro scratch on a guitar while they were asleep.

Hear me out. Because it seems like you've taken it upon yourself to be the leader in ridding the board of people you don't like. In the past, I felt like you acted in a similar way towards me when Lisa, who hated me without cause, tried to run me outta here. So I was perceiving gatekeeping as your track record, like you probably perceive being a contrarian as mine, because I am and it is.
"I say he needs to take the steps". You want peace, on your terms, when you say. That's not peace, that's you setting the terms of a ceasefire and expecting him to agree to it. Knowing Daniel, that's laughable and will only spur him on. If you really want peace you'll have to be the one to make it, 100%. He's not able to let anything go. Are you?
Apologies for my error, I took it as related to some remarks about his Princeton and what not.

He's younger. Younger people are more idealistic, and generally have more fighting strength than someone 20 years their senior, meaning they are more likely to be combative. However they lack the life wisdom and conflict resolution skills of an older, more experienced person.To my own discredit, there was a time when I would've taken the same route he has chosen.
