I got notified to review this thread.
The OP wasn't all that clear, for sure, but I'm still genuinely surprised to a point not far off shock that anyone assumed it wasn't the musical instrument. Still, if that was really the case for some...
Regardless of that, I think newbies must get a pretty funny impression of the board when they post and get a series of rather snarky replies. I feel sure I must have been guilty of doing the same thing at some point in other subforums, but with hindsight, I wonder if it's really the best way to go about saying hello to someone.
Anyway, all the above aside, one of the clearest board rules is that you're not allowed to flame. TheSeeker, you could easily rephrased your post to make essentially the same point without calling others dicks. Even something as simple as swapping that word out for "rude" instead would have allowed you to say what you wanted to say without breaking the rules. I appreciate that calling someone a dick is hardly the height of profanity, but when you speed and are flashed by a camera, you get a ticket, and the same applies here too. Comments to PM, if needed, as usual.
