To Fuse or Not to Fuse... That is the question!

jea48

cleeds should have been attacking you instead of me.  

I didn't attack anyone.

It doesn’t matter one iota, but I think jea48 is deserving of a little respect here.

Actually, it does matter, and I couldn’t agree more. I’m absolutely confounded that jea48 thinks I’ve said anything negative about him in this thread. Really.

I’m inclined to think there’s a misunderstanding here and and I’m happy to help clear it up, if I can.

So, to @jea48 : What exactly is it that I’ve written that has prompted your claim that I’ve engaged in "personal attack" on you? Because I have no clue. Somewhere, in the back-and-forth and back-and-forth in this thread, it looks like some confusion has resulted. I’m not blaming you, but please help me out here. Let’s clear this up.

Why are you trying to push this onto the moderator?

It is the moderators who control this group and I am not going to acquiesce to your demands that I delete a post that accurately quoted another user. Period.

jea48

Move on? Delete the post!Really? Produce that post of Roberttcan .
And yet you posted what he supposedly said. You have no proof he actually said it.

I have no plans to delete my post which accurately quoted roberttcan, and I can't reinstate posts deleted by the moderators.

If you think it inappropriate or unfair to you, please alert the moderators. I’m pretty sure the moderators can also confirm the accuracy of the quote I used from roberttcan, so perhaps that will put your mind at ease.

jea48

Then you won’t have any problem with deleting your false post in question.

Pardon me, but my post wasn’t false in any way: It accurately quoted roberttcan. You’ve now set the record straight that he misquoted you. Thank you for that.

It would be a sad thing if your post in question was used to promote your Beware the audio guru. thread and demean my character in the process.

I don’t "promote" any thread here and certainly don’t intend to "demean" your character. That’s why I’m happy that you’ve clarified the record.

Roberttcan was a problematic contributor here. That was the real problem and now that he’s gone, let’s please move on.

I, jea48, said no such thing! The above quote is not mine!
@cleeds, what page is the said quote on?

@ Roberttcan, if you posted that quote I suggest you delete/remove it immediately.

@ cleeds, if you placed my username on the quote, shame on YOU!

@jea48, what I pasted into my post was from content posted by @roberttcan. His post has since been been deleted - apparently by the moderators - along with a bunch of other posts by @roberttcan. I’m sorry if he misquoted you. He caused a lot of headaches for people in this group and it looks as though the moderators have deleted his account.

I don’t "invent" quotes from others. If you read my posts, you’ll see I’m pretty thorough about pasting exact quotes, and don’t typically paraphrase what others are saying. This post that concerns you is an example of just that: I quoted roberttcan accurately. That’s easy to do when you cut and paste!

Roberttcan

jae48 said he would like to set up a room at an audio show so that we can run some double blind tests like this. I am willing to put in some good money, heck I would put up a grand. You? Wouldn’t you like to, for once, be able to point to a large listening group test that clearly, in front of pundits and naysayers alike proved what you are claiming?

This is not the place to promote gambling. We’ve been through this before. Beware the audio guru.

What’s especially absurd about this "put your money where your mouth is" taunt is that if you really seek an objective test, you’d want to remove as many variables and outside influences as possible. Obviously, making money part of the equation can only interfere with the results.

Personally, I don’t see any need to prove to others what I hear. They can accept or reject my observations as they see fit. No need for a wager, argument, or time-consuming listening tests.
