Your latest post shows no improvement over your previous one.Remember I once advised you to leave your day job behind when you post on the Asylum? What might be considered acceptable journalistic practices is really not appropriate here.
It seems to me you feel somehow threatened by my postings about DualDiscs. Why? All I'm doing is reporting my direct personal experience, and posing some interesting questions that each of us should probably ask ourselves.
Why are you so afraid that "some people might take [my]pronouncements seriously"? Surely, if I "have been drivelling away here in [my] pseudo-scientific self-serving paranoid rants about DualDiscs", then any reasonably intelligent person would see through that immediately, so there is no need to fear. Or are you suggesting that your fellow posters are dumber than you are? Isn't that a bit patronising (to them)?
People who choose to attack my posts are basically displaying their own insecurities, because if they were confident they would simply ignore my posts.
At least you've learnt not to engage directly in a technical argument with me, because you know you can't win. Look at Soundgarden - he's so fearful of providing direct answers to my simple questions that's he's reduced to random sniping whenever he can get a word in. Daedalus/NotMe/Russea/whatever tried very hard to discredit my posts, and look what happened there.
But what you are doing shows that you don't even have the common decency to "attack the ideas, not the person." Instead, you've resorted to underhand journalistic practices, including:
- dismissing my posts as "drivelling away here in your pseudo-scientific self-serving paranoid rants" but offering no substantial technical refutation of them or any evidence to back your words
- attempts to discredit me and attack my credibility "I doubt you’ve spoken to a single engineer to do with that product" but deliberately choosing to ignore me when i reference the DualDisc license book (surely an authoritative document?)
- make remarks about my new player ("BM & time delay") which are clearly not trueAnd now your latest thing is to try and move to a different subject (my amps) which has nothing to do with the original topic of discussion. You of all people should know that a better and more powerful amp has nothing to do with the ability to play music louder.
Why? What satisfaction do you get from posts like these? Why invent lies just so that you can engage in point-scoring ("modest apartment living room") when you know that I live in a house, not an apartment?
Really, Martin, why don't you take a cold hard look at your posts and explain to me why you don't think they are "bitter and twisted."
