Others opinions are valid as well within this thread. However, I have not seen him personally or directly say nasty things about people (such as pompous arse or the like). I am more shocked that even the Moderator (yes I said it) has only looked at the OP and has not responded or said anything to the ones dishing out the personal attacks discribed above. This is just my opinion just as others have their opinion. I do not think this thread should be locked, as there is a lot of insightful information contained within. If by my opinion I get banned for not personally attacking a single person in this thread, then so be it. "Let it be written, Let it be done" These are just my observations.

OK, I'm going to inch out from my neutral corner.

Tempest X, I agree w/you about the uncalled-for nature of the personal attacks, and I agree that if I were a mod I'd give these posters a bit of a public spankin'.

THAT SAID, the OP is, and as much as admits he is, a provocateur. He knows how to use phrasing to get X response. Yes, personal insults are uncalled for and reflect poorly on the posters, but even though these insults *shouldn't* be the response, TVR knows he will get them. He's Perlman playing the hot-heads like a Strad, and then portraying himself as the victim. "I tried to talk sense to the kids, but they were just spoiling for a fight."

No offense, TVR. I tend to have a soft spot for the contrarian. But I'm also a resident of Seattle, the Passive-Agressive Capitol, and I know the behavior when I see it. And it's a shame, because couched differently, I think your (ostensible?) subject would make for an interesting debate and read, and a lot of times I'm interested in your posted experience and views.

b0dhi agree for the most part.

TheVinylRipper For the most part you have to understand that not everyone is trying to insult you. Some have yes directly, but some comments are just that, comments and opinions. Heck everyone is never going to agree. We are all unique.

Let's get back to the subject that disproves distortion, amps, and what I call preferences.

I agree 100%. And, while I'm a bit ashamed to admit it, he got the better of me as well. No need to do it for me, Mods, I think I'll go give my self a spanking...

Whether he has or hasn't made direct personal attacks is debatable, but what I think most people here have a problem with is that he's stating his opinion then - intentionally or not - misunderstanding, ignoring, misrepresenting and generally being disrespectful towards the calm, tactful responses of many people. Not all the responses have been polite, but almost all of them start off being polite until the Troll does his magic. Calling someone a name isn't the only way to piss someone off, and this Troll has perfected that art it seems.

That just sounds . . . er, awfully off-topic.

 

[TheVinylRipper]

I think it is telling that those who see me as being rude are mostly those who disagree with me.

Note that I was asked to succinctly restate my argument and when I did it was completely ignored by the asker, only to engage in yet another personal attack.

No quotes for you. Some like distortion, some don't, some spend more money, some don't or can't. With all of the knowledge you have, let's talk about how we can agree to disagree, and where a compromising middle ground is. This gets us back to everyone is different, some wanting more accurate for less, accurate for more, flavor of sound for less, and flavor of sound for more (money that is).

You know TVR, if you really "wanted" this discussion to be about audio distortion in amps, speakers, phones or whatever, you should just ignore all other comments. Simple as that, don't feed the fire...

You guys should have paid more attention to the first reply in this thread...

 

[greggf]

To anyone reading this thread, may I suggest this book:

PASSIVE-AGGRESSION by Martin Kantor
Praeger, 2002

It'll knock you over, it's so appropriate...............not just here, but elsewhere on the internet.

You made an accusation.

Then when asked to back up the accusation, you refuse.

Essentially because your accusation was false and you know it.

Does not that advise go for other's also?

Or should I be held to a higher standard than everyone else?

 

[greggf]

This one is even quicker than a book:

http://www.ocdonline.com/articlephillipson6.php

The amazing thing is how relevant the article is to not just this thread, but to a lot of threads..............

 

[hiisinux]

you brainiacs just give him what he "seeks" without even knowing it by usually with implying hes stupid/idiot.
