Kemper Amps Forum

Sorry for still being off-topic, but I have a question for Scott.



Dear Scott,



You know, while a huge part of the EU and sometimes even the USA considers Hungarians some kind of colonial country without anything at all, we're not dumb. Actually, for a country, we have the most Nobel prizes. Also, we have some great wisdom sayings, and one of them just struck me while I was thinking about this whole debate.



I don't know if there is an English / American version of this saying, but in Hungary, when someone really viciously fights for himself when being picked on or "getting personally attacked" as you say, we ask him "Does the turth hurt this much?". Meaning, of course, that only those fight back so hard and all-out, and have to prove themselves and really stand out for themselves who know that they are unjust and the so called "attack" they are defending against is true.
Therefore... taking into consideration how viciously you fought back here... and I'm still trying to do so without making it personal... but honestly, what truth that you read here did hurt you so much?

The KPA looks like something from a 50's horror movie. Art deco, bioshock and space monsters! Hell yeah! I'll wait for the 19" though. haha.

You're wrong, WRONG!

Green is the new black and toasters are the new racks!

FACTS! And I and thirty other KPA owners are going to hound you across seventeen continents and fifty seventy thousand website chat rooms to prove that your experience is WRONG!

Hm, hold on there. Something comes to mind.



cracks me up every time.

great one!!! Some of the mods could save it in the download area for future uses

Good grief, am I on the KPA forum? Thought I was getting browbeaten on TGP or FAS lol.
FWIW I posted my thoughts on TGP yesterday and within minutes was getting flamed. Made a light hearted response along the lines of 'wooops, sorry I forgot where I was' and again within minutes was getting responses where my user name had been 'altered' to shitguitarplayer.
Now that, Scott, is an example of why a lot of people feel the way they do about the fas and tgp forums.
If anyone says anything about that behaviour 'it is down to some ppl who are just enthusiastic about the product' (axefx.)
When ppl on this forum make light hearted remarks about it it becomes 'character assassination? Really?.
For the best example of character assassination I have seen recently on these forums, look to the way a certain person who did a video review of the axefx which did not come up to fas expectations was assassinated and has been since.

And how was that post on TGP handled by the moderators there? Tell the whole story please. (* Since you probably won't because it won't buttress your implication, the person mocking you was infracted and the offending posts were removed). Your rant holds more water when you leave that part out. If you want to tell a story, tell the whole story.

It's is obvious to see how it will go here; it has already gone that direction. I speak to some of the KPA owners privately, they are good folks with good manners and treat others with respect - even if they don't agree. It is a shame that sort of attitude won't be the norm here evidently. Drink the kool-aid, hate on other folks (just call it in jest or in 'light humor') and make it your own clique; even as you damn other forums for doing the same thing. I've never taken part in that sort of behavior, I find it boorish and juvenile. I don't like it in tube amp owners, Axe-FX owners, POD owners, 11R owners, etc..

A few thoughts - this is now an international board - the product has been released in North America. So all the chest pounding won't endure the Kemper owner group as any different than the perception of the Axe-FX owner group. If anything, it will be worse because many of you that do it should know better.

For all the rips on other people the fanboy aspect and supposed condescending that some have quoted - I think the Kemper board here has jumped to the front of that line. It won't be long due to your own behavior here mocking and 'having light fun' is held in the same light by the rest of the gear and forum world.

Yes I agree it was handled by the moderators well. The offending posts were removed as you say, that wasn't the point I was making.
It was the fact that that sort of thing has actually become expected......
