I'm independent, and it seems like you guys' side are conditioned to ruin your relationships with other people you'd normally be friends with just to do somebody else's bidding. Like grist in somebody else's mill. Conditioned to take things personally that everybody else takes as respectful discourse, and entitled to grind that axe down to a stub. You have leaders who act like they're driving a bumper car, smashing off every guard rail and bashing into each other and everybody else, with their hands off the wheel, yelling "Eff you, eff me!" I have friends like that. It's getting worse. They don't know whether to yell at everybody or just drive onto an abutment. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In print things dont allways come across the way they are intended. Heckle, I kinda knew what it was due to ads and such. But I had to look up what the acronym actually stood for.

NighthawkChris Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) All I can say is my wife’s snoring is so bad it prevents me from sleeping. The CPAP is 100% needed in our home. We came to a point in time where I said it wasn’t fair I was losing sleep because of this. As well, snoring is something that shouldn’t be happening like she has it for medical reasons. Maybe some here share the woes I used to have… living and sleeping with a snorer is not fun. I hope I don’t snore… wife tends to tell me I don’t… Edited September 9, 2022 by NighthawkChris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked about emergency generators that can keep a machine that relies on electric current running during a power failure. The quest for medical advice being sought on a Guitar Forum is an erroneous assumption that you've made. RBSinTo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 16 hours ago, Larsongs said: What did I do to you in first place that got you going? As an observer I would suggest, as a reminder, that this "lounge" on an internet guitar forum is, as are other internet forum "lounges", an outlet for any matter of discussion. And that RBSinTo wasn't asking for medical advise per se, but advice about back up battery pack that might keep his CPAP machine operating in the event of a power outage. I suggested contacting the manufacturer( or the medical supply outlet) to see if they have a model with a built-in reserve battery for just such an incident, as my wife's liquid food pump had. And others also made some helpful suggestions. It's not as if he was asking for a medical diagnosis, so why does his query bother you so much?

Larsongs Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 It never bothered me.. I bothered him for some reason.. He decided to get smart *** with me.. I just made the point for the kind of concern his friend had their Dr. would most likely be a better source as opposed to a Guitar forum… I had no idea what CPAP was & thought the Thread pertained to Alternative Energy.. I mentioned how we, in California, are supposed to reduce usage etc.. I guess that tweaked the Guy??? As much as I like this Forum I would never pose questions regarding my Health concerns.. Which is “exactly” what he was doing.. So it most definitely is Health related.. I do hope his friend does get the answer from a true qualified Professional re; their Death concerns… Like him, I have no more time to waste on this Thread… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Lars, RBS - you are both great contributors here. Possibly you each had a bad day and it came to a head here.

After all, we're a fairly diverse group here in terms of both age and experience and knowledge. You may have a health concern that one or more of us have experienced or are currently experiencing and can give not only support but also advice on matters concerning that issue which might have worked for them. Or steer you on the right path. So what's wrong with that? And besides(and again), his query wasn't a health concern. But in finding ways to keep a mechanical device that keeps him (or someone) healthy running in the event of a power outage. I'd say more on the level of asking for advice about a problem he might be having with his car. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the "medical professionals" who suggested this device along with the "professionals" that provided it grossly failed to supply him with that information. And for all we know he might have tried contacting them to find out and they failed to provide any useful answers. So he came to one place he knew of where some people seemed to have knowledge and experience in a variety of matters to find out what help and information they might be able to give.

Whitefang Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 No, it's not a crime. And here you are again taking things out of context. And in the case of the OP, you weren't offering an "alternate thought" on what his query was, but a reprimand for not posting the type of thread YOU felt he should have. And I was merely defending his right to be able to post it. And suggesting that;"If alternate thoughts and opinions aren't welcomed(which nobody claimed they weren't) you should close the Gibson forum altogether." after quoting me is imprudent as I have not the authority to be able to do so.
