By your definition this thread is not tacky. No one said anyone was stupid,

I can't belive the older forum members are acting so silly about this. They have made this thread unbearable to read now.

How silly.

I'm out of this thread, it's just gotten to childish for me.

How is pointing out a specific cab, and then a whole thread of cabs saying that they don't understand why those people have small monitors.... that is calling them out.

A general comment is one thing, bringing it to the point of "hey, look here" is just like saying "this guy is dumb cuz his monitor isn't as big as I THINK it should be"

well personally i dont blame the guy for doing it
i feel like doing it too, there's even a pic with one guy standing right next to his cab with teeeny monitor (yet also with his beautiful mini-cab)

Well pretty much, to be honest. Does this include you? I'd assume for someone to be defensive about it, this is why. I just think that as an onlooker I have reason to have this opinion.. they post the pic and my only role is to judge it's aesthetics

I think you guys that are saying cabs with small monitors look stupid should start donating some money to those who don't have a moniitor large enough.

so what? why does it bother you so much?  The people defending this "gotta have big monitors" argument don't seem to understand you are calling out and insulting people on the board.

You're making fun of people who put a lot of effort into these things, then call some of us jerks for trying to defend people for working with what they have and using what they can afford.


I have 3 15" PC monitors in my basement... if I was buillding a cab... why would I go buy a new TV?  or even a used one?? I HAVE monitors already... ever think that's the case with some of these?

saint:
Steller's first post wasn't bad. Notice I replied to it in the spirit of the thread.

The thread then degenerated to:

"It really is just pitiful
people with bezels that are a foot long each side, it's just disgusting
make your cabinet and then put a baby TV in there...
it's so so so ugly"

which is clearly insulting.

Your initial posts were fine as well. Then however, you posted a picture of a person's cab, captioned: "*screams like a girl at the horror*" -- how do you think the owner of that cab feels about that? Now, benefit of the doubt, I don't think you meant to belittle anyone per se, though I think that was the end result. Even up to that point you'll notice I didn't post my opinion of the thread, just rebutted the perspective with my own. You even posted a plea to keep the thread light hearted, which I appreciated.

Unfortunately, SubZero fed off your posted picture, and responded with: "hehthat is the worst "arcade" cab i've ever seen" -- now if that isn't just plain mean I'm afraid I don't know what is.

Note to SubZero: In that same thread, you pointed out you thought TV's were fine and you didn't think arcade monitors were any better than TV's. Those are fine points to bring up and you didn't slam or belittle anyone in them. Just so you know I saw both sides of your coin there, and don't think you're always particularly evil.  I'm going to pick on a few other things you said, but you also said some things that were decently said and forwarded the conversation on - duely noted.

A bit more discussion ensued that was civil, then Steller posted a picture of a cabinet with this to say: "Look at this cab...Dude wtf??" and the picture title is "poop.jpg" - if that isn't mean then I'm afraid I just don't know what is.

Then SubZero gave a bit of a slap to the people who were brave enough to post their cabinets with this statement: "there are a ton of cabs on that "post your cabinet" thread that have little little little monitors..ew" ... Didn't necessarily single out any one person, but clearly he has a poor opinion of any cabinet that has a small monitor in that thread. I'm not sure what value that brought to this thread.

Your later point: "Man, I don't understand the hate in this thread. He's not attacking anyone, he's making a general observation." missed the point that there were people specifically singled out as noted above. What could have been a possibly interesting thread unfortunately, whether intended or not, ended up attacking some people who didn't ask for it nor did they deserve it.

By the way Sub, when you responded to Drew with: "you know that makes it sound like I say a lot of stupid things that amaze you? Gee thanks." I applauded. You took a direct challenge to your posting and responded to it without attacking, I was very happy to see that.

Guess everyone has a different opinion of what good netiquette is, but if you don't see why some people would be offended by the tone this thread took maybe you could re-read it with what I've said here in mind.

(By the way, this post isn't an attack on any one individual in the thread nor does it represent my overall opinion of anyone in the thread. More of a dissection of the thread to give my opinion on why potentially good threads go bad)

Cheers!
