Let me explain. I have extremely high and very vague standards. I look down on everything, and I mean everything, never talking about specifics or my own point of reference. I’ve looked down not just on people and equipment but science and facts as well. They are far far beneath me. It is all too much for me to explain, but I am sure you are all doing it wrong. WRONG, with a bold, underlined and hooker-script WRONG font used here.
I start these crazy troll posts which are incredibly successful in nabbing a lot of the regulars in audiogon.
I should be very happy with myself, but sometimes I have to wonder if my level of jerk is too much for all of you too handle. I’m trying to blaze a path, but are you with me audiofools or not???
Hey, wait a minute! ".. even for Audiogon"?Now that would seem to imply that we are all some level of a jerk here, and that you may be just a bigger one. Well ... ok.
@erik I am still staggered by the raw insecurities masquerading as arrogance revealed on the Tekton Moab thread which you exploited for entertainment purposes. The sheer entertainment value of that thread puts HBO to shame. I just wish there were more such opportunities for you to exploit.

You are too kind, and completely coincidentally your pardons have been approved.
nonoise +1 for straightening that out about *iden's comments being taken completely out of context. isochronism...You should have included in your post that you realized the candidate didn't mean it that way. That's not the way your post came across.
It seems some members believe the OP is talking about another member, and others who are taking him literally and speaking for himself.
There are 330 Million people living in that country south of the border. And from that vast pool, those are the only two options available to its citizens? That is truly a sad state of affairs.
If I'm not mistaken, only one side, just one, one and one only, has top people saying cast for the other side. This is not an accident, faulty reporting, covert action or 4 anonymous sources. What it is is highly unusual and very telling.
"
I find it difficult to put up with all the lies and misdirection that will be thrown around by all sides in the next two months, so I tend to look at what the candidates have actually done/accomplished rather than what they say....which I mostly don't believe."
I notice the real jerks have not posted to this thread. Possibly because they cannot sell anything. This is progress and very refreshing. Long may it continue (he said, in hope and not expectation).
I value the OP because he starts interesting threads, and unlike some he can answer what others might perceive as a Dumb Question with succinct and non judgmental answers. It seems as though he might be having a crisis of confidence. His subsequent posts In this thread quote only his detractors, not people who are supportive. On lively threads if you stick your neck out there will be some return fire. The OP seems bothered that there are times when he gets sparked up in a discussion that he makes some posts that he subsequently, upon reflection, wishes he hadn’t. At least he recognizes this, and I remember several times when he later takes something back, and that’s cool. The worst thing imo is when people refuse to admit error and double down on their original mistake.
I seriously doubt the OP enjoys music, unless he considers the sound of his voice as such. Perhaps he needs to be locked in an elevator alone listening to Lou Reed’s Metal Machine music for eternity.
Mho.... I suspect everyone that haunts this space enjoys music to whatever degree that consists of. For some, just the 'event' of it, and the ability to do so in their own fashion and means. Others may relish what I consider the 'esoteric'; the 'hunt' to be able to grasp the discrete nuance of their equipment to recreate a performance to the nth degree.... If being able to hear the 1st violinist breathe as well as play with 'brio', well....great. Do so...let us know. *S* Most of us fall somewhere in the Great Middle of the Audiophile Bell Curve. ;)
Wishing eternity on anyone is cruel enough, needlebrush. As for L. Reed....the OP might like that. Did you ask? Hell, no.
The only way we as humans will experience eternity is through death. That...happens eventually, anyway. You get to 'go there' too. Watch for what you wish on others... just saying....
It may be the passing of member almarg, but this is the second (at least) "mea culpa" posting I have read this week. Erik, you're right, there are a lot of jerks on this forum, but I have never counted you among them. Believe me, I'd be happy to tell you if I thought you were.
Just don’t do the “which sounds better, amps with meters or amps without meters“, again. Please!
Are you kidding? That was one of the most fun threads I ever started. :) Of course I meant it tongue in cheek, but sharing the variety of strong reactions to this was a blast.
This implies prolonged periods of contentment and mental stability. I don't have breakdowns, I was broken years ago and my pre-existing conditions made it too expensive to fix.
Honestly Eric, I believe you suffer from multiple personality disorder, probably only two, which is known as split personality disorder. I arrived at this conclusion, because seemingly both of your personalities are responding in this particular thread. You probably, perhaps unknowingly, argue between yourselves whom will post next. Good luck.
