Perhaps, but I don't buy any of it.
The pollical sub-forum rants by the site-runners read like
bait posts.. They post stickies about "
respect each other" and "
keep an open mind", then start their own TDS tirades with insults and name-calling anyone who
might disagree with them.
I say "might" because none of the 3 or 4 accounts there ever do. Of course, those accounts are more than likely the admin's sock-puppets who come in and agree with everything said in their OP.
This is all part of the pattern on all VerticalScrote sites.
this is VerticalScrote's concept of
"engagement farming".. use fake accounts to foment political arguments (or arguments about anything) because that creates "engagement".
but they really play to the current political climate by having a little cabal of accounts on staff that have zero interest on guitar playing or tone, and are only there to incite traffic using the Trump Derangement Syndrome routine, or pushing the homosexual/trans agenda on a site where no one agrees with that crap.
go read some Reddit entries about what happens to
all sites VerticalScrote takes over.. this tactic runs off everyone who knows anything about the site's stated purpose, be it guitar, 4x4 off-road vehicles, woodworking.. whatever. Then the site dies.
