First, you started by backing up this statement, which is a bit inflammatory (for jumping on my case for saying the thread was indeed about opinions)
Then you said:
You're trying to turn the tables on me and it won't work. I don't care whether you do or don't like Satriani (or anyone else for that matter). Now you're trying to make it sound as if you're the wounded one, here. I only wanted to make this thread about people's interests in guitarists - which is a good thread - that way we can find out new things - positive things. But you are the one who escalated this into something more base when you could have just left it alone.
Honestly, I think it best if we just drop it here. If you're not trying to one-up me, then fine, but it sure seems that way. I'm fine with letting it be if you are. Nothing to be gained here.
