Edit: I am very concerned the guy may feel lonely and have serious depression problem, given that nobody takes him seriously here.

Honestly I am NOT impressed with the show you put up here . I enjoy my music with the toys I bought (not with your money tho) and you have a problem with that? You seem to be a psycho if I used the right word.
P.S. I do enjoy your show at the EPH100 thread though. Continue the show and don't disappoint us.

To those who post on this thread, I ask you to respect other and other's opinions - NO MATTER if you like him or disagree with him. Show respect. I NEVER have a problem with people expressing opposite opinions or even hype a little bit as you wish. We sometimes enjoy the things so much we may unintentionally hyped.
But show respect to each other.
I find it ironic that you very vehemently ask people to show respect to each other when CLEARLY your two previous posts quoted above (and others on the Yamaha thread, some of which have been removed, BTW) are a testament to the contrary.
You obviously felt I may have been originally referring to you when I was responding to AstralStorm's post -- I was, in fact, referring to lee730 and he clearly saw that. Others (not just Kunlun) have also mentioned lee730's constant EX1000 bashing that's been going on for months, though he's recently been a LOT less harsh after one of my posts recently. Perhaps you should ask yourself why you have reacted the way you have when I wasn't even referring to you.
You joined HF just over 7 weeks ago and very likely haven't read many of lee730's previous posts and his constant bashing/trashing of the EX1000s on every thread under the sun and his constant insistence that the FX700s and, recently, the IE80s are the best things ever. His recent (was it yesterday?) comment on a new DAP he's got, comparing it another very highy-regarded one which he hasn't even heard and stating the former was so MUCH better… Yet, you feel the right to be disrespectful --yes, very disrespectful-- to music_4321 because you don't happen to agree with some of the things he's said, or the manner in which he's said certain things. Yes, sometimes I use sarcasm, but sarcasm does not necessarily have to be offensive.
I've said this before:
I don't have a problem with enthusiasm, genuine enthusiasm, that is. Another thing is hype, exaggeration, insistence, misinformation, misleading people, telling half truths, and so on.
My first post on this thread was specifically addressed to you, and specifically taking into account the thread title and your even shorter time spent on HF. I was giving you
genuine advice as a newbie, and recommending you should take a look at
this very useful post (by one of our mods). You even thanked me for it but very soon afterwards started making disrespectful references to me in several posts without me answering back, until later when once again you had made yet another reference to music_4321.
If you want to spend a lot of money in gear, that's fine, it's your money, after all. If you're so far happy with some of the hype you've come across round this place, that's fine, too. People don't often mind it when someone hypes a product they themselves enjoy (in this case you and lee730 happen to like the IE80 a lot). I
don't. The main reason why I stopped posting on the EX1000 thread altogether was precisely that --hype-- even when I loved the EX1000s. The EX1000 was a very fine thread for a few months, but later it was badly spoiled by hype and endless, endless meaningless posts that had absolutely nothing to do with the EX1000s. Appreciation/Discussion/Review threads don't always have to be dead serious and, in fact, a bit of humour here and there is very welcome and even necessary. Unfortunately, most threads of this nature become exceedingly long (look at the JH13, IE8, JH16 threads, to name but a few), often making them almost impossibly difficult to follow/read/research.
You may not have a problem with the money you yourself spend on gear, but there are many people who will find it hard to spend even $50, let alone $100, $300, $500, etc -- this is not only 'poor' students but perhaps many people in developing countries. And then people start reading about expensive customs, aftermarket cables and portable amps.
Yes, I know people should do their homework, ie search AND research, when purchasing gear to try to avoid making serious mistakes. Unfortunately, such research often becomes an impossible task as there are many people with high post counts (so-called Headphoneus Supremus) who often come across as experts, using fancy language and mentioning fancy gear, and often times discussing gear they themselves haven't even heard. New members don't know this. The link above addresses some of these issues. I wonder what prompted that moderator to write such a lengthy piece of advice.
I know that if I was new to HF, I'd have a pretty hard time getting good, proper, honest and unbiased advice -- in fact, many new members have posted saying they've done their research and ended up being more confused even! Yes, people are often very friendly when it comes to recommending gear they particularly enjoy but, sadly, their advice isn't always the best/most appropriate. Also, the reasons why people are often so friendly and very 'helpful' are not so obvious, but I'll leave it at that.

Huh? I've been hyping the IE80? Jeez, I wouldn't take me seriously either!
Not sure how I ended up in the dishonesty camp either. I kinda like it here (a lie!).

These sort of arguments are almost more fun when I have no idea what is going on.
It's like walking into a food fight.
Why do I have ketchup on my shirt? Oh, I'm throwing a pickle a someone! Oh no, soup everywhere!
