Ease off on the political discussions for a bit. You seem to know your music when you stick to music posts. Le the board hear your musical tastes. Give a review of some recent shows, Farrar/Tweedy related or not, that you've been to. Suggest some new music for the rest of us to check out. Tell us what your favorite guitar/amp combination is. Start a Fender>Gibson thread, see what happens, Start a Fender>Matchless discussion. Start a Strat>Tele discussion. Start a Tim>Let it Be discussion. Just do music for a while. Maybe people will be less inclined to start with the name calling if you show thee rest of them you musical colours.
Just a thought, absolutely no offense meant.
