In Reply to: Why are you such a donk, tubeguy?? posted by morricab on January 26, 2009 at 15:35:05:
Brad,
I'm a bit surprised by your post but, if that's how you feel so be it! I willfully engage guys wanting to yank my chain ---{ as you put it }--- because I believe most of what they say is pure, unadulterated BS and as such, pointed out for what it is.
=======================================================================
I'm sort of glad you stated I'm a Glutton for punishment comes to mind or masochist because it serves the purpose to prove I don't really care what these people think about me or my opinions! I'm often amazed that they feel I'm angry or upset by what they say. If what they said actually upset me, I'd keep my mouth shut. The fact that I don't IMHO proves I really don't care what they think about me or my opinions!
=======================================================================
Who gives a flying F&$k about tweaks like those being argued about?? Well obviously the LFOs who constantly need to post about these tweaks, care about them! My post was an attempt ---{ apparently missed by you }--- to show that the LFOs don't give a damn about defending gulliable audiophiles from being parted from their hard-earned dollars, as they claim they do. As I previously stated in a post to tomservo I have no problem with anyone not believing in brillant pebbeles, frozen photos, intelligent chips or clever clocks. Personally I don't use any of them. Just be honest! On the internet all we really have to gauge the character of others is their word and their integrity. It disgusts me to see people just not believe something works because they don't understand how it can and then pretend they're attacking these things to protect others! That's BS plain and simple and IMHO BS needs to be called or shown for what it is.
========================================================================
Brad I believe you've revealed the true motive behind this post with your statement People spend billions every year on bogus religion (ie. all religion) I remember you getting quite upset when I sent you some religous-based emails. IIRC I told you via email before I thought you were one of the people I exchange emails with from here who've sent me the types of emails I forwarded to you. However when you sent me an upset email requesting I stop doing so, I did just that. However I am a Born-again Christian and ex-missionary to Guatemala who has firm beliefs of that subject. These are as you well know, completely faith based! You choose to believe all religion is bogus and I choose to disagree with you. It's not a subject ---{ unlike audio }--- that I'll argue about though...
=======================================================================
Brad you stated I have no tweaks whatsoever in my system and I am quite sure that my system sound much better than most of the people who post on this forum, tweaks or no. How can I be so smug, you say, its called experience and a well trained ear. Well guess what? I feel exactly the same way for exactly the same reasons!
========================================================================
Your belief that I'm just as bad as those LFOs because I'm as much of the problem on this forum as they are as together both sides prevent meaningful technical discussion. Is a bit surprising. When my health was worse than it presently is I sat and only read PHP for almost 2 months seeing very little posting here on PHP and what was posted were the usual DBT vs Non-DBT, Subjective vs Objective debates that contained no meaningful technical discussions. I wonder why you didn't feel the need to make the comments to those people you're presently making to me back then? It seems that you're still harboring resentments over the emails I sent you. At least I believe you are and that's the real reason for this tongue-lashing on your part.
========================================================================
Consider me thoroughly annoyed by you too Brad. The difference between you and me is I won't attack what you posts here simply because of that fact but, if I disagree with what you post, I'll state why, nothing more and nothing less.
