Re: All Asylum inmates are created equal (but some are more equal than others).

Steve, you have over the years, insulted me on this website, as much or more than anyone else...

If I have insulted you over the years it has been in response to your persistant delusional attacks against me. Your attacks began some years back when I merely poked a little harmless fun at a glaring error on Jack Bybee's web site. That being the claim that electrons in our audio systems travel down the wires at nearly the speed of light.

I said absolutely nothing about Jack Bybee or any of his products in that post. Yet you fired back at me as if I'd dissed his mamma or worse. And it's been downhill ever since.

Over the years you have persistently grossly mischaracterized that which I have said. You have claimed I hold beliefs that I do not hold. You have claimed that I have said things I have never said. Each and every time I have challenged you to substantiate these claims and each and every time you have utterly failed to do so . You either ignore the challenge completely, change the subject or come up with some other mischaracterization or outright falsehood.

This behavior of yours has been well documented from the archives (I've compiled examples several times and posted them here in the past) and clearly illustrates that you are either delusional, a liar, or both. And you'll pardon me if I have little patience with those who are delusional and/or liars.

...yet I still don't know your technical background.

Because you have yet to show that it is of any particular relevance.

The truth doesn't give a rat's ass about my technical background, your technical background, or anyone else's technical background. A person's statements don't stand or fall based on the technical background of the person making them. A person's statements stand or fall based on whether they are true or false. Period.

If I make a statement you believe to be false, you challenge it by showing that it is false. And that's done by bringing the truth to light. You don't do it by mischaracterizing my arguments. You don't do it by making false claims as to my beliefs. You don't do it by making false claims of what I have said. And you don't do it by asking me to unzip my pants and show you my "credentials."

I've said a number of times over the years that you offer very little illumination. And I say that because you seem so inept at bringing any truth to light. Instead you challenge others not with any light of truth, but with hand-waving, pretenses of knowledge, and insults.

When you can present a cogent argument as to why my technical background is if any significant relevance I'll be happy to answer you. Until then I'll consider your request as nothing more than further obfuscation on your part.

Have you written any articles, etc?

Relevance?

How would you know how difficult it is to 'prove' a concept?

Well the proof that 1 + 1 = 2 consumes several volumes. But I've never expected any such level of absolute proof. Merely reasonable plausibility. But you can't seem to muster even that little bit most of the time.

If I give you a book title, it is ignored.

That's incorrect. I simply asked you why you can't just paraphrase the relevant section of the book that supports your argument. Why should I have to run out and cough up $100 on a book just to save you from writing a few paragraphs?

If I offer a technical paper, I get no offers.

Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue, eh?

I've no idea what you mean by you get no offers. Offers of what, exactly? You're the one supposedly offering, no? This makes no sense.

If I mention that I have several hundred textbooks on engineering and physics, I am called a liar.

And now you ARE a liar as I've NEVER called you a liar in this regard. And here's yet another example of your delusional nature. But I'll give you yet another chance to redeem yourself. Please cite where I have called you a liar in this context. As I've told you before, I have a static IP address (205.162.100.130) and that makes it a trival matter to pull up every message I've ever posted here using the search feature.

What I said in response to this vacuous bit of chest-thumping is that the number of books you have on the shelves around you does nothing to substantiate your claims. Are you really so dimwitted or is this just another of your obfuscations?

I'm tired of trying.

Tired of lying and obfuscating's more like it.

I don't have to 'prove' anything to you or your buddies.

Of course not. John Curl's claims require no proof. That they come from the Great and Powerful Curl is all the proof anyone could ever need.

The only thing that I can do, is to 'spoil' your tirade against an innocent manufacturer that you don't approve of.

Ah. And which of my tirades against which innocent manufacturer are you spoiling here? Or are you having another of your delusional spells, John?
