This is what was really just the most despicable thing, and what made me lose all respect for him. Note that this is in the Vik Page itself.
And yet Vik still continues to run his mouth...

Bulb said:I paid for the balance of the guitar in full in January with the promise that the guitar would be ready by NAMM. It wasnt. When I asked for an update as to when my guitar would be sent out earlier today, Vik made it clear that he would not send me the guitar if I did not agree with and support his viewpoints. I told him that my morals and ethics are worth more than a guitar.
Are they, though?Come on guys, he's just some other guy having an opinion. Why is that so bad? Don't get me wrong, I support gay-rights and all that jazz, but I also support opinions. He said it a bit stupidly, but he's good at putting things stupidly. And I also dislike how everyone immediately jumps on the white knight wagon and saying they are disgusted of Vik and gaining their extra bit of "respect". People are overreacting in my honest opinion.

"Vik made it clear that he would not send me the guitar if I did not agree with and support his viewpoints."
That's not an idle opinion anymore.

I am not sure how I feel about Misha's post even though he was quite honest with the situation.
Would he have taken the guitar if Vik didn't make such absurd demands? And if he did would he have sticked to the original deal of getting a discounted guitar for promotion and exposure?
I am not trying to be a dick and discredit what Misha did but for me morals and ethics mean cancelling the order anyway and not being backed to it by ridiculous demands that would destroy his reputation.
I don't know maybe I'm reading too much into it and all this drama is getting to me.
EDIT: Again I feel like I might be a bit harsh on Misha since he didn't disclose information.
There is not an ounce of overreaction here. Publicly insulting people because of their sexuality is FAR beyond "having an opinion". If he was just "some other guy having an opinion" none of us would have heard it - but as soon as he spoke up about his opinion, he invited the criticism and consequences.
There is no place in the world for that kind of behaviour. We all have our own biases, but those of us that are of sound mind don't go airing them. You have the right to think what you want about gay people, but the minute you start telling other people that they should listen to you you've lost any and all respect.
I support free speech, I do not support intolerance towards people based on their sexuality, gender, race and anything else they have no control of. You can CHOOSE not to be a racist or homophone, you can't choose your sexuality. Read the previous pages and you'll see this explained very clearly.Come on guys, he's just some other guy having an opinion. Why is that so bad?
