Playing music is fun and I hate it when people comment disparagingly about what your definition of fun is, only to point out that "you only NEED <equipment X> and an <equipment Y>".
+1 - and this shit is especially rampant in bass circles. Some guys on Talkbass act like you're directly insulting THEM if you happen to use anything other than a P-Bass directly into an Ampeg
I'm verrrrrrrry close to having my entry done, but I just have a couple more little things I need to finish first. I'll probably get my entry in just under the wire.

Yeah it really pisses me off. Don't see why other people judge when a) music is such a subjective thing and b) if someone is having fun with their gear, that's a good thing right?

You should have seen the ridiculous amount of backpedaling that occurred when I brought up the fact that McCartney used a fuzz on his bass in "Think For Yourself", which has a whole second level of irony when you look at the song title.
