I hear this a lot on here. Not defending, but what is so bad over there? I seem to get answer to questions quickly and by more people. Maybe just good luck?
Proceed with caution here, Joe. Rig Talk can suck you in. Before you know it you'll find yourself spending way more time worrying about and obsessing over gear than actually playing. I speak from experience.
TGP, much like other Liberal institutions preach tolerance, acceptance, diversity, etc etc. But tell them you're a metalhead and then sure, they can make fun of you all they want.
