That's my point exactly. Folks should keep their ethical objections to themselves IMHO as they have nothing to do with guitar. It's a personal decision to buy a fake or not. It's really nobody elses business to judge it. Let's all keep our judgements to ourselves eh? Just keep it business as it were in terms of guitar. That's what I wish folks would let go.
But again, it's perfectly legal to buy a FAKE for personal use. It gets tricky when you try and sell it. But even though it's technical illegal, it's a small fry thing to sell a fake so it's not gonna cause any issue more than likely as it happen on ebay every single day. The ethical ramifications are a personal decision. Not a public decision. For those who disagree with fakes, that's fine. I don't need to hear about it. The forum would be better served imho if we just kept it to guitar. Let everything else go.
You shouldn't have posted about it here if you didn't want to hear about it.

Thanks for your continued support of this thread again But yeah, I don't mind hearing about the guitar, it's the judgemetnal attitude I could do without. As one poster mentioned after one of your posts. " I couldn't care less, I've done worse things myself". Which I'm sure is true. It's was my experience with a bit of gear, not a confessional seeking absolution. That's the part I was hoping we could just keep to ourselves
But, it did generate some heat in the forum!! So if I buy another bit of something controversial I'll probably share it as well just to generate a bit more buzz and get some participation happening. Even seems to work on folks who swore they wouldn't participate!

Yet more support! After swearing to not support/post etc. Do I see a bit in to your "true character" as well? I tell you what. Let's avoid looking in to each others soul and just keep it about guitar eh?
