"The story of sour grapes has nothing to do with the quality of the grapes."

Neither does the "objectivist" attitude toward high end audio. Class envy. Can't afford it so it must not really be better.....

"Yes indeed the elite are taking down the masses by puchasing and enjoying high end audio. The horror!!!"

Pat
Well, you're probably more honest than you know. It's called conspicuous consumption.

"Honest?" Tripping over your own rhetoric? You call it conspicuous consumption I call it sour grapes.

"If they really want to know why don't they just use the products as they were meant to be used and decide for themselves? What do you do when you want to know if something tatses good? Do you take it to a chemist or do you actually just taste it? I just taste it."

Pat
Well, using a product is a way of forming a preference for it. If that's the way you want to choose your equipment, fine. Indeed, I do not generally suggest buying something without trying it out. What gives you some other idea?

What gives you the idea that I don't try things out before buying? Never heard of home auditions?

"Well, looks like all you have now is irrational personal attacks. Typical "objectivist" repsonse when called on their bullshit. Thanks for the concession."

Pat
Personal attack my foot!

Maybe you are simply too stupid to know when you are making a personal attack.

Pat
You intentionally asked a stupid question

Wow you are psychic now.

Pat

and I gave it an answer it deserved


No I asked a fair question and you didn't have a good answer so you fell back on personal attacks. It's a rather old and shallow tactic. Looks like it suits you well.


Pat
--that if you don't know that some people prefer different things from some other people, then you clearly lack experience. But of course, when pressed, you give the same sort of answer I did, below.


You don't even know when you are being mocked. Guess you are an idiot. That's all the time I have for an idiot.
