.... I am glad someone finally had the balls to say that! In all seriousness, I had a really good belly laugh over that line. I don't approve of the language or spirit of that jab, but in all honesty, we all insult each other on these forums constantly. The language is usually more protracted and passive aggressive and cloaked in technobabble. I am guilty as anyone. The visceral and incisive statement above took many by surprise, but it was also cathartic. Distill the nitpicking and quibbling, and this is what you will often find. I agree with Tpreaves. I think Slic is actually pretty funny. His original statement which incurred the backlash and trolling was derived from the following thread (http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1359660930&openflup&2&4#2): [qoute]You are the weakest link, get a better job and buy some real audio.[/quote] A little harsh but funny in the context of the thread. A great and relatively unknown music critic and blogger, Dr. David Thorpe, wrote some blisteringly funny pieces under the title "Your band sucks...." It is hilarious, particularly the comments he generated from impassioned listeners of said bands: http://www.somethingawful.com/d/your-band-sucks/ Enjoy.... |
"I have since sold the cam for $20 to finance a better cam, a Canon with mic jack, also picked up a krell dac, when my Classe gets out of the shop and I do some mic rolling I am going to post a rate my rig mk2."
Where is Mk2 so we can rate? |

A few people on here have the intellect of a small child Reading through this thread, it seems like your estimate of a 'few' is a vast understatement, with you leading the parade. This thread simply serves the purpose of proving why forum boards NEED moderators. |
A few people on here have the intellect of a small child and I can tell who they are. To respond to the comments they make will just incite more silly nonsense from them because Audiogon and the forums are their life and family. I pity the fools. |
"Dude I don't upgrade, I mean do you upgrade your wife, I buy what I want."
Um, Yes I did upgrade my wife. Its called getting remarried.
You may want to appologize for your poor word choice "dumb little punk faggots." Statistically 10% of our Audiogon members are gay, and this may be offensive to some. It's even offensive to many straight people.
As far as the premise of this thread, at first I too thought is was a weak idea, to ask others to rate a rig based on a YouTube video, but it appears Slicric was not asking the public to comment on the sound. We all post our systems on the system pages ,and people comment on what the sound of the system may or must sound like. I'm sure most of the commentors have not heard all or even any of equipment mentioned. So his video is basically his system page. So really he is just asking for comments on his system which we all do. |
Relly...it's the spelling errors. |
Wolf,
3000 was very rude to a rookies on another thread when the rook asked for help. We need to encourage rookies in this hobby and not run them off.
I am soory is what 3000 needs to come up with. I have been a smart A$$ in the past and I have had to draw back when members say that is enough. |

but really...grow up ya ASSHATS. That's a very mature comment there, Wolf. Thanks for the contribution. |
Does anybody realize the level of innanity revealed in this thread? After seeing more relevant and intelligently addressed threads shut down (a D'Aostino reliability discussion was shut down by the board monitors after the beloved Dan responded...a well discussed Magnapan issue...hmmm) I'm surprised a thread with perjurative (faggot...are people so stupid that they think that term is acceptable?) and utterly insulting base level comments is allowed. Spelling errors are expected as some here are merely uneducated lazy dimwits, but really...grow up ya ASSHATS. |
troll (pron.: /ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is someone who posts inflammatory,extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.
You should go back to the thread you initially posted the troll response and apologize.
My post was not trolling, just a response to a rude troll.
Have a great day!

I for one am with Jperry. You owe the young rookie an apologie on the other thread you were so rude on. You can dish it out big time but when you reap what you sow you fall apart. |
Sorry for not responding sooner ric. You see, I have a life and I can't watch your thread 24 hrs a day. I still think you are a funny guy. |
|
Slikric's use of terms like "faggot" and phrases like "can up your ass" are bigoted and unnecessarily offensive and do not belong on this forum. Please delete those posts. Thanks.

Them boy's Jperry and Tpreaves got quiet real fast |
Filed a complaint, these boys need a refresher. We discourage rude or condescending behaviour, but at the same time, we encourage active cooperation and passionate disagreements about audio related issues. Come here with your nonsense you done stepped out of bounds.

You really should quit trolling threads and making nasty remarks to people. Sorry you don't like getting what you apparently like dishing out.
Have a great day! |
3000,
Very bad grammar you have there son. Did you finish HS? Maybe go back to school and get a better Ed U Ma Kation which will leed to a better job to buy much better gear than you have. |
People can do whatever they want on here. Go ahead file a complaint. I'll bet you won't. |
Just rating your rig 3000. Get a job dude and upgrade. |
|
The 3 trolls Jperry, Tpreaves and Glory came here from another post. So their dumb asses come here and troll around. Don't come here on my post and troll. |
"The dumb little punk faggots come over here from someone else's post. They never have nothing intelligent to say just come around and act like punk ass kids. In fact I think I will file a complaint on them." Perhaps the most entertaining post I've yet to read in any forum...really...I can read it over and over again... |

I can appreciate that Mapman. What gets difficult for me is when the Wilson Sasha owners chime in. That's out of my league and it always will be even if I won the lottery. I would like a rate my rig based on your speakers. I have a very simple rig and I don't spin vinyl since the 80s although I still own 100's on vinyl. I would like to see categories of speaker brands as permanent threads. It would keep the bs down a bit. If I post a thread about my Harbeths, there's always hatred chiming in and it doesn't add anything to the discussion but hatred. I know you understand that. Everyone wants the rest to.like what they like but that will never happen. |
I think it could be fun and make for some interesting reading and maybe even some learning. Obviously one would need to take a few grains of salt with it and a sense of humor would not hurt either. |
Its all based on opinion. The problem with Rate My Rig is that even if someone has heard all said components of said rig, they still cant rate it based on the room said rig is in. I don't mean to offend, but its just a 'treading water ' thread. You basically get nowhere with it. |
I like the rate my rig idea. Maybe a good option for Agon to offer? Some standards for doing the ratings would be a good idea. Like 1-10, 10 being best sounding possible + reason for rating.
Of course the problem would be that it can be hard to accept criticism, even if done properly in a constructive way. We should make peace not war I suppose. |
John, you mean let the fighting begin, rate this! |
Thanks Rel, I was gonna post that, but I thought "what's the point?"
Phaelon, LOL!!
I'm taking some videos now and will post them on Youtube, then I will start a post asking you all to Rate My Rack!!! Let the competition begin!!! |
Sorry Rel, I thought you meant upgrade my rig, I guess you drifted a bit. |
Hello...is there anybody out there? 3. |
My vote for worst thread ever. So naturally, I just had to get involved. |

Dude I don't upgrade, I mean do you upgrade your wife, I buy what I want. |
You can upgrade all you want on your end, I'm still only gonna hear it through $5 computer speakers. So what's the point? |
I have since sold the cam for $20 to finance a better cam, a Canon with mic jack, also picked up a krell dac, when my Classe gets out of the shop and I do some mic rolling I am going to post a rate my rig mk2. |
Hey, Slick--I guess you and I have very different ideas of what constitutes entertainment! Inspired by your post, though, I think I'm gonna polish up that 500 hour vid I made of my new Blackgate capacitors breaking in, and maybe put the most gripping 300 hours on YouTube :-)
And before you get too carried away with those YouTube stats, you might want to consider that at least 119 of the 133 U.S.views were me staring slack-jawed and shaking my head in disbelief!

Why not do a better job with the video? Why not show the room, the speakers etc.? I don't see the point in this either . |
I have vinyl, Pro-Ject RPM 6 |
