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???
All I have to say for myself is that my post was honestly not political. It has gone that way and that is a sign of the times instead of anything from me.

Hello Erik,
The first thing that I thought of from your post quote above, was that you were channeling our very insecure, orange, pea-brained, small, weak and petty man-child disaster of a President in an extremely rare moment of honest self-appraisal. Your description of yourself is not accurate at all from my perspective. But who am I to disagree with your thoughts of yourself? I'm not a psychiatrist but I do play one on tv. My pretend professional opinion is that you're being too hard on yourself. I think you're a reasonable enthusiast who posts on thought provoking and interesting audio subjects that I always enjoy. Please keep 'em coming. Are you just in need of some affirmation? If so, I'm going to give you the awesome gift of a dose of the affirmation that my parents constantly provided to me during my formative years: "You're not half-bad, Erik." They actually called me Tim and not Erik but, otherwise, it's the same incredibly positive and remarkably effective self-esteem building message.

who remain unnamed, especially in the absence of hard evidence and when there are others willing to share their names who refute those claims. 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.
Whats most impressive is the whackamolean (copyright) ease in which change your definitions to suit whatever conclusions you currently posit. These are skills normally seen at the highest levels of deceit e.g. lawyers, used car salesmen, congress, etc. I think your talents are better served elsewhere
jERiK, even though your name is close to spelling that out, you're being too hard on yourself. You do initiate thought provoking posts, as this one. Now, if you're being facetious here ..... where should we start?
I don't think that description describes you Erik, and I am pretty sure that you were not in fact describing yourself. It does describe certain posters though.
