Bluemoon Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I have to say that one of the bright spots on this forum is the fact that we have a great community of international members. I really enjoy reading your perspective on topics—whether it is Gibson guitars, music, social, or cultural issues. This forum is a far better place with you guys involved and I hope you continue to participate—even when some of our more xenophobic members make that hard to do. As someone who was born in England and grew up there and in Belgium before immigrating to the US, I really enjoy your participation. Gibson is a global brand. This forum needs to do a better job of embracing that fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Arcadius Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Wawwww.... You got us all teary-eyed now man!(well, almost...!). A very, very big thank you for that excellent and certainly touching initiative! I'm certainly speaking on behalf of all us here. In my humble opinion, music, free speech, the right to expression and open-mindness to new ideas are things that go together. From our side, a very big thank you to Gibson, the mods, the simple members that offer us this free platform to dicsuss all the things that we care about, love, hate of find simple interest to - and most of them we share with you guys! We know there are members that welcome us open-heartingly and others that are more sceptical. From our side we are aware of the fact and definitely understanding. We do our best to reach out and appreciate any effort to achieve this, from our fellow-gibsonites. This is the whole reason for being in here anyway! Many, many thanks again Bluemoon!

daveinspain Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hey Blue thanks... I'm kinda the opposite from you.... I grew up in the states and moved to Europe. Funny thing is things aren't that different here in Spain except everyone is speaking Spanish and all the girls are walking around in those colorful Spanish dresses and fanning themselves...
