THE MARTYRDOM OF ST PINKO PILITES
THE MARTYRDOM OF ST PINKO PILITES
Tubes can be scientifically justified on a whole variety of well-rehearsed electronic grounds, and on the general principal under Occam's Razor of KISS. Tubes also have considerable justification in the soft sciences, especially psychology. The interface between psychology and realized electronics in the flesh very largely favours tubes over transistors. That is why the luddites, who pretend to love music when what they really love is the sound of their own voices telling everyone that they are "qualified engineers" (1), try to exclude psychoacoustics from the discussion. All these arguments are too well known to list again. What is interesting is that transistor fanatics now feel so threatened by tubes that they see a need to go on religious crusades against the infidel, complete with mottoes on their standards (Audio is engineering - music is art). Pinkerton even discussed his present invasion of RAT on UKRA as "carrying the war to the enemy". We, apparently, are "the enemy". We don't currently have any tube fanciers on RAT who are as narrow-minded and boorish as Pinkerton; in fact most of the opinion formers on RAT don't give a rat's arse whether a good-sounding amp is made of melted sand in an evacuated glass envelope or of melted sand in a transistor. Most of the mature people on RAT build and use both. Pinkerton has Heard The Call. It doesn't matter to Pinko that The Call is only the sound of the foghorn inside his head called Pinkerton's Monstrous Ego. Pinkerton is the exact audio equivalent of a Muslim terrorist bomber. He believes he has a right to destroy us in the name of his God, whose name is Total Harmonic Distortion. We have no rights before his God. If we resist all means, however unprincipled, are justified if they aid our humiliation and destruction. (Notice from the evidence that Pinko doesn't just want to "exterminate" us-his word-but first to humiliate us for the greater aggrandizement of his ego. Who wants to bet that Pinkerton tortured small animals when he was younger?) The Call sent Pinko on a mission to destroy our pleasures. Arguing technicalities with such an incorrigible is like a Buddhist trying to persuade a Victorian colonizer, which is what most missionaries are, that he has right to his own Buddist beliefs. (Notice that in my KISS threads when they started last year I simply ignored Pinkerton, and waited for the poor inadequate to make a personal attack, which he was bound to get wrong, and did get wrong, time and again, soiling himself in public again and again.) As I demonstrated a few paragraphs ago, most of you guys are neither Christians nor Buddhists but agnostics and pragmatists. Above all you are hedonists. You know what you like and you prefer it regardless of what some monkey with a megaphone screeches. We don't go to silicon newsgroups and start shouting that they are wrong. We leave those poor misguided people to their illusions. By contrast Pinkerton storms into RAT and demands that our women cover up because he can't control himself, that we don't have sex except in the missionary position and then only every other leap year because that's *his* norm, that we wear trousers because our bulging loincloths make him feel inferior, that instead of lounging about on the beach seven a week we slave on the plantation six days a week and waste the seventh day listening to his harangues in the church (which he wants us to build for him), and so on. Then, to top all this arrogance, the dumb **** Pinkerton is so ignorant of people that he expects us to be grateful and sing his praises. (Don't believe me? Check out the post by Pinkerton's traveling bovverboy Pearce in which he talks of the "faith" of the tubies.) If Pinkerton wants to be a martyr for his faith, we should help him speedily achieve his dream. He may dream of being Simon Stylites reading his Bible ascetically on his pole but history (2) will remember him as Pinko Pilites sitting on a sharpened stick crooning dementedly over the distortion meter on his lap weighing him down (3), blood and **** running unnoticed down his legs. Andre Jute (1) One can easily spot the most useless engineers. Twenty and thirty years after they left college they insist on telling everyone that they have a diploma and that after years of switching on the lights over the boards of more creative men they rose all the way to "senior designer". Typically they have been pushed out of jobs as analog or digital hardware engineers and now do "software engineering" which is most often a euphemism for plugging together the computers of more productive workers, or they have other jobs altogether and resent their fall enough not to care that they expose their bitterness in public. (2) Since it will me writing the history, you may be certain I am right about that. (3) No pain, no gain. |

Occam's Razor does however require a level playing field, and tubes can be immediately discounted on this basis. Tubes most assuredly can *not* be justified on any electronic grounds, whatever the deranged brayings of this deluded wannabe graphic artist, paranoid schizophrenic, and tired old hack, may claim. This demented name-calling just proves my point, Pinko, that you are a deranged fanatic. Do you actually have an argument or was I right in the first instance simply to ignore your slack ass? Tubes also have considerable justification in the soft sciences, especially psychology. The interface between psychology and realized electronics in the flesh very largely favours tubes over transistors. That is why the luddites, who pretend to love music when what they really love is the sound of their own voices telling everyone that they are "qualified engineers" (1), try to exclude psychoacoustics from the discussion. No, engineers are happy to include psychoacoustics. As it happens, that branch of science is entirely responsible for the existence of MP3, a technology which specifically excludes tubes. If engineers are happy to include psychoacoustics, what is this piece of ****, these two pices of **** running down your leg after every post sent from atop from your pointed stick: "Stewart Pinkerton | Music is Art - Audio is Engineering" All these arguments are too well known to list again. What is interesting is that transistor fanatics now feel so threatened by tubes that they see a need to go on religious crusades against the infidel, complete with mottoes on their standards (Audio is engineering - music is art). Pinkerton even discussed his present invasion of RAT on UKRA as "carrying the war to the enemy". We, apparently, are "the enemy". That is of course a flat lie, and Google will show no correlation of my name and that phrase in this context. See the thread Pinkerton Lie No 318 for proof from UKRA. I deal in facts, I leave religion to the acolytes of the evil god Set. Evil, eh? Odd value judgement to make in the same breath as the pompous statement, "I deal in facts." BTW, although I do understand that you dwell in an alcoholic haze, please note that my sig is the reverse of that which you claim, and may be found at the end of all my posts: Music is art - audio is engineering. It scans much better that way round, as one would have hoped that a tired old hack such as yourself would have realised - or did you deliberately pervert it for that reason? More name calling, some of it illogical. How would you expect "a tired old hack" to notice the scan? Actually, I did it on purpose to see if you are awake when you commit this crap to the public record, and to determine if you are proud of that sig--see right at the end. We don't currently have any tube fanciers on RAT who are as narrow-minded and boorish as Pinkerton; Sure we do - you are a prime example. I don't invade other people's houses until they first invade mine. Then I make a thorough job of it to teach the scum, in this case one Stewart Pinkerton, a failed engineer, a lesson he will not soon forget, if necessary a terminal lesson. in fact most of the opinion formers on RAT don't give a rat's arse whether a good-sounding amp is made of melted sand in an evacuated glass envelope or of melted sand in a transistor. Most of the mature people on RAT build and use both. However, one technology clearly works *much* better than the other. I'm sure that we can agree on that point. :-) Of course we agree that tube amps sound better. That is why you too build tube amps. That is why you came to RAT to learn from me to build a 300B. Careful now, Pinko, I can prove all of that from your own words. The truth will you free or, if you're lying scum, hang you. You, I fear, Poor Pinko, are for the gibbet. But Pinkerton alone has Heard The Call. It doesn't matter to Pinko that The Call is only the sound of the foghorn inside his head called Pinkerton's Monstrous Ego. Pinkerton is the exact audio equivalent of a Muslim terrorist bomber. He believes he has a right to destroy us in the name of his God, whose name is Total Harmonic Distortion. I don't recall having used that particular argument. Perhaps you can remind us with a *precise* quote? This is like a war criminal claiming that he didn't commit a hundred thousand murders because his mistress says he didn't kill her little dog. Try again, Pinko. I do however recall that *you* argued the case for 'zero NFB' single-ended triode amps having less THD at low levels, so precisely whose God are you trying to debunk? There's the difference between you and me, Pinko. I'm in and out of your church all the time, and every time your silver leaves with me. And usually I find it to be badly plated iron, dross, not silver at all. That's why I'm skeptical. You see, dickhead, I have an open mind, just like you're supposed to have, since you brag about having an engineering diploma. If you were educated at a decent college, they would have taught you something of the principles of science. It never, never, never proceeds with the mindless, bullying certainty you bring to audio. We have no rights before his God. If we resist all means, however unprincipled, are justified if they aid our humiliation and destruction. (Notice from the evidence that Pinko doesn't just want to "exterminate" us-his word-but first to humiliate us for the greater aggrandizement of his ego. Who wants to bet that Pinkerton tortured small animals when he was younger?) I'm not the one who boasted of having put some black kid in front of a firing squad - or would you like us to forget that little slip? Prove it. We've already publicly disgraced you as a racist and a character assassin on that and related counts. Do you actually understand that once you make accusations such as " put some black kid in front of a firing squad" against me in public this becomes a game played for permanent stakes, like your house and your future? You should ask what happened to Frank Deutschmann. I wouldn't want you to whine afterwards that I didn't warn you, as Deutschmann did, calling people collect charges and crying on the phone. The Call sent Pinko on a mission to destroy our pleasures. Arguing technicalities with such an incorrigible is like a Buddhist trying to persuade a Victorian colonizer, which is what most missionaries are, that he has right to his own Buddist beliefs. (Notice that in my KISS threads when they started last year I simply ignored Pinkerton, and waited for the poor inadequate to make a personal attack, which he was bound to get wrong, and did get wrong, time and again, soiling himself in public again and again.) Interesting (but entirely predictable) dislocation from reality. As anyone who cares to review the *facts* of the matter will see, I deconstructed the ludicrous assumptions on which the mythical KISS amplifier was based, whereupon *you* created no less than four direct personal attack threads. Uh-uh. I brushed off your offer to be guru and when your turned nasty I dug a couple of holes into which you dived face-first into, screeching, "I'm guilty, I'm guilty!" This isn't the kindy debating society for little wannabes, Pinko. You're a failure in real life and a joke in virtual reality. I've done polemics for a living for forty years in places where the loser gets a bullet in the back of the neck. Now some little deskjohhny ****** called Pinkerton who thinks that because he can operate a keyboard he is a debater wants to use me for a punchbag because I'm the biggest thing he can see on the net. The rest of your demented rant is snipped on grounds of basic humanity. Get professional help, and do it now............... Poor Pinko. A bit too close to the bone for you, is it? I thought you were accusing me of being unable to take the heat. Here, let me give the unbearable truth to you once more, dear old limp windbag: By contrast Pinkerton storms into RAT and demands that our women cover up because he can't control himself, that we don't have sex except in the missionary position and then only every other leap year because that's *his* norm, that we wear trousers because our bulging loincloths make him feel inferior, that instead of lounging about on the beach seven a week we slave on the plantation six days a week and waste the seventh day listening to his harangues in the church (which he wants us to build for him), and so on. Then, to top all this arrogance, the dumb **** Pinkerton is so ignorant of people that he expects us to be grateful and sing his praises. (Don't believe me? Check out the post by Pinkerton's traveling bovverboy Pearce in which he talks of the "faith" of the tubies.) If Pinkerton wants to be a martyr for his faith, we should help him speedily achieve his dream. He may dream of being Simon Stylites reading his Bible ascetically on his pole but history (2) will remember him as Pinko Pilites sitting on a sharpened stick crooning dementedly over the distortion meter on his lap weighing him down (3), blood and **** running unnoticed down his legs. Andre Jute (1) One can easily spot the most useless engineers. Twenty and thirty years after they left college they insist on telling everyone that they have a diploma and that after years of switching on the lights over the boards of more creative men they rose all the way to "senior designer". Typically they have been pushed out of jobs as analog or digital hardware engineers and now do "software engineering" which is most often a euphemism for plugging together the computers of more productive workers, or they have other jobs altogether and resent their fall enough not to care that they expose their bitterness in public. I thought you wouldn't like that precise description of your motivation and the current state of your life. You claim to know so much about me, Pinkerton, but I wonder if you know what I was trained as, what made me so good in advertising, what makes my novels ring so true. You should think about it because if you are foolish enough to continue putting your stinking carcass in my face, that training and talent will be a continual migraine behind your eyes. (2) Since it will me writing the history, you may be certain I am right about that. (3) No pain, no gain. Stewart Pinkerton | Music is Art - Audio is Engineering This is a genuinely stupid sig, not for what it says so much as for exposing your fear again and again and again with every blustering letter, in fact particularly as such a contrast with your most blustering letters. I do feel sorry for you, Pinko, though it won't stop me doing what is necessary. Till soon. Andre Jute |

Sometimes when a father has an ugly, loutish son, the
love he bears him so blindfolds his eyes that he does not see his defects, or, rather, takes them for gifts and charms of mind and body, and talks of them to his friends as wit and grace. I, however- for though I pass for the father, I am but the stepfather to "Don Quixote"- have no desire to go with the current of custom, or to implore thee, dearest reader, almost with tears in my eyes, as others do, to pardon or excuse the defects thou wilt perceive in this child of mine |
