MkII has the knob, but is branded empeg. MkIIa also has the knob, but is branded Rio. There are other real differences, but that's the most obvious.

Yes Rob, they are both branded Rio. In fact I just picked up one not too long ago from a member here. My third unit is sitting on my desk, in peices,a product of inept repair, the fourth has beenin the hands from Rob S. for a year now...I told him to take his time, and it is a rather tough repair job. I pesonally think it is toast.

I like negative attention. Nothing against you but I really don't care if you like it or not...I don't have to explain myself to anyone....I hope you can understand.

Ah yeah. We had someone else here a while back who liked the same thing.

Personally, I think the picture is hilarious. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt: Just because it's a photograph of a person who has become an icon for everything evil in this world doesn't necessarily mean that YOU are evil or that you agree with his philosophy. It's no different than South Park showing cartoons about Satan and Saddam Hussein.

Just keep in mind that this BBS is a close-knit group and that we've had previous bad experiences with certain specific antisocial members. So we're a little bit twitchy about that kind of thing.

Tony, don't forget about the episode about the bleeding Virgin Mary, absolutely hysterical!

I think it’s a good picture of him (Tim Conway, right). Most of the pictures I've seen of him make him look like a preschool teacher, all sweetness and nice.

I did like the posts of the other antisocial, too bad he went too far.

That's fine. I don't care that you're an attention whore. A lot of people are more brave and outspoken online then in the 'real world' I'm sure that somehow this makes you feel bigger and more important.

Who am I to take that away from you?

Jeez you're taking this a bit far aren't you. Ok so the guy has Hitler for an avatar so what? He did exist you know. Nobody complained when d33zy had Saddam. Infact if I remember correctly he was encouraged.

Personally found it quite funny but maybe thats just me.

If you're offended then turn off avatars in your bbs options.

Oh I'm not offended, it would take far more than that. I just think it's childish, stupid and really obvious. Just voicing my opinion.

Your entitled to your opinion but even if it is childish and stupid it doesn't make him a bad person. He's probably loving the discussion its generating though

Well, as a Jew, I was offended. But that is just me. Read some of his previous posts...such as the one with 'hail satan'...
For him, the bag is 1000.00 and the tuner is 1000.00. Anyone else, pm me with an offer.
End of day, it's off to ebay!

and with you being Jewish I can understand. But for someone (like me) who wasn't hugely affected (if at all) by him it doesn't stir any emotions in me.

Correct, and people have the inherent right to be and act stupidly...These are the types that make the Darwin awards so enjoyable to read.

I do believe he said 'satin'; which is an entirely different material.

Hitler didn't just go after Jews, but even if he did, how is that not something to be offended by.

Hitler offends me. Some jackass trying to get attention is just some jackass that won't take up any of my time.

Funny? You guys are easily amused. Hitler in a prom dress is a least a little funny.

Hitler doesn't offend me. Photos of him don't offend me. People talking about him doesn't offend me. Jokes involving Hitler don't offend me. Why should it offend me? Can you explain to me why I should be offended? I don't think you mean 'offended' though. People get too upset about such little things. If he was born 5 thousand years ago you'd not be bothered.

Someone who is Jewish and maybe lost a relative as a direct result of Hitler I can understand why they may be offended. Thats fine.

Perhaps funny was the wrong word. He may be a jackass but he's done nothing to annoy me and when I first saw the avatar I was thinking it was some ironic statement. If he came on here though and started to spout evil then that would be different.

There was an episode of Father Ted aired that featured Ted with a Hitler moustache making gestures to Asian villagers. It also featured swastikas and other such stuff. Pic of Ted is here. Now would that offend you? If so I think you're too thin-skinned.

If you want to discuss it further then post on off-topic or pm me. We've hijacked the thread enough!

Everything you said except for that first sentence make sense. But if I have to explain what's offensive about the man Hilter (as opposed to just the mere mentioning of him or pictures of him), then I'm not sure that a discussion in off topic would go anywhere.

Brad all I can say is that people must have to walk on eggshells around you! I still think, however, that you are confusing 'offended' with something else. Some guy with an avatar will never offend me! Theres more to life.

I clearly said that "Hitler the man" was offensive, not some guy using a picture of him. Big difference.
