All that you missed on the "Ringo" drum set kerfuffle was seeing posts by an abrasive know-it-all defending ridiculously overpriced for sale listings to justify the highly inflated listings that he also posts. He tried to belittle people who disagreed with him. He could not handle having his pronouncements challenged, and had the nads to diminish the experience of people who disagree with him. So, the owner or moderators of DFO removed the whole thread. This same guy is selling a Jazz fest snare drum on Reverb for $10,000 that looks great, but is kluged together from at least two drums.
I am reporting on the arguments that took place on another forum. And, YES......I have my opinion about the whole event. I am judging that person from his own words about other people who dare to disagree with him. Look to another thread on this forum. He's attempting to stir it up here, too. I'm finished with that jerk. He can ask ten grand for his facsimile of a Ringo snare, and defend someone else for asking a quarter million bucks for an almost real Ringo drum set. As Mr. T would say: "I pity the fool who would pay such silly prices for those drums".
LeedyBDP :
You can give but can't take. A true sign of superior wit.
For the record : I've never had a problem with anyone's opinion UNTIL it gets personal. You and you-know-who took it personal not only to a friend of mine who wisely doesn't do any forum or FB. He can handle himself.
Cross the line with me, you know you're gonna regret it. Proven that last time I shredded you and you gave up.
Over on DFO they wisely removed the thread. Don't kid yourself, it wasn't because of me. Many read my threads because they like to watch morons who think they aren't morons left in tatters.
My "facsimile" snare speaks for itself. You only sound retarded when you say so.
Let me just clarify who I am as a seller of vintage drums and books : you are not my buyer. You could not begin to possibly understand who my buyers happen to be. But buy they do and they certainly don't jump on this or any other forum to say what a "putz" I am, cheat, liar.
Take some wise council and hang up the towel.
