I can only presume you don't post your political opinions in groups with relevant names, because the people there are so on top of things political that they would show you up too badly. |

news 
You are stepping over a very fine line, Ty. I just got finished posting on another thread, a political thread ( Dear Right Wingers..TAKE IT OFF LINST NOW, GEORGE, PAUL....) to which you demanded the posts be taken elsewhere, btw, that I agreed with your assessment that we are overstepping the bounds of the charter, but I will not hold truck with you making such statements as If newsgroup bullies like George, Roger, Romeo, Don need any more convincing, I'd welcome comments from ALL of our members to discourage them from exercising their arrogance in this newsgroup. So would I. You might find out something different, or you may wholeheartedly be supported. But regardless of the possible support FOR the threads, I'm willing to try to divert my attention to audio. As I mentioned in a response yesterday, this arrogance and ignorance is WHY people flew planes into our WTC buildings. Your opinion that I am somehow such a problem as was exhibited on 9/11 is offensive to me personally. You don't hold that right. You imply that I've personally been offensive to you with my arrogance and ignorance. Fine. You can CHOOSE to ignore it. However, since you don't, I'd suggest you read my one post on your topic police interjections within the previously listed thread. I am not ashamed of my concerns for this country, nor that I CHOOSE to discuss them with a virtual roomful of my "peers" although I recognize that I'm not worthy of being designated a peer of hardly anyone here. Regardless, you need to get a grip but I don't appreciate that grip being around my neck. This time, my friend, you owe me the telephone call and the apology. Maybe I'll answer but I most certainly will not be holding my breath. -- Roger W. Norman SirMusic Studio On Sun, 4 Jul 2004 16:59:37 -0400, Kendall wrote (in article ) : "George" wrote in message ...

Approximately 740 of them even have the word politics in their name. What we really need on RAP is audio guys who give a crap about audio. George when't the last day where you made as many audio-related posts on RAP as the politics and the anti-religiou crap? Oh, I forgot, you're too busy bashing people because of their politics and religion to have much time for audio. Face it George, you're just a lonely man who is looking for attention at any cost. You apparently don't do enough with audio to have that much to say about it. |

The system was not equipped to capture the information, so the results were, in a sense, random garbage. This is just the same sort of thing that would happen if you tried to capture a short 25 kHz sine wave with a 44.1 kHz sampler, or if you tried to measure the width of a human hair with one of those wooden rulers many of us used in grade school. The point is, if Gore had been chosen to take office, it would hardly have been totally legitimate either. Given the way the election went, *neither* of them could have been described as "actually elected", at least not 100%. That is why I personally find this "Bush wasn't elected" stuff to be really juvenile, just as I would find it really juvenile if Gore had been elected and the conservatives said the same thing about him, which they certainly would have. It's actually a little bit worse than the "Don't Blame Me, I Voted for XYZ" stuff. But both of them are really about congratulating yourself about how right and good you and your party are and how you and your party are not to blame for any of the nation's problems. People who do this kind of cheerleading for their own group seem, to me at least, to be more concerned about proving that they're right than they are about doing anything constructive. It's a natural enough human tendancy, but that doesn't mean it's anything I want to hear about. Honestly, if you want someone else in office and you think that would be more constructive, an election is coming up very shortly, and you could try to convince people why one candidate would do better than another. As it is, you seem to be just convincing me that some liberals are kind of nutty and too inconsiderate to let things drop when practically everyone in the newsgroup is asking them to.

That's all well and good as long as you continue to ignore the *thousands* of voters purged from the Florada rolls due to nonexistant felony convictions, said purging having been conducted by a Texas company with unsettling ties to the Bush family. |

One thing is true. Bush IS the president, he sits in the chair at the White
House, he has the Joint Chiefs of Staff at his beck and call, and he has installed his cabinet and fired some of his selections. He certainly seems to be the President. But we need to let this stuff drop and get back to the important issues of audio, like, like...well, I guess I just don't see any important issues in audio right now other than my ability to afford any new upgrades simply because marketing has convinced me that I can't come out with a decent CD without Pro Tools HD. Or maybe I should argue that MXL mics have achieved the level of quality of Neumann mics? Did anyone do any interesting live recordings over the 4th holiday weekend? -- Roger W.

I get this email from George Gleason complaining that I shouldn't be sending him email about his atrocious misbehavior on this newgroup. Turns out it's OK for George to **** all over us, but he gets quite chilly about anyone who dares invade his private mailbox. Dearest George, You are quite the maroon.

So George is a color? How about MORON, Ty? Nice method to achieve
cohesiveness amongst the group. Expose personal emails to the group to back up your agressive efforts to bully individuals to your expectations. And bring them on, Ty. Anyone can and should email me if they want my posts off the group, or better yet, simply want me off the group. I have no spam related things in my email. Anyone can hit one of my posts and get to me directly via email, and yet no one does in support of your tactics. It's always been an option and the only one to avail themselves to sending me a poisoned threadpal email has been you about a year ago. That should tell you something. OTOH, I get lots of emails from others that do want to continue the discussion off the newsgroup (and WE DO) and not one of them has had a hard time finding me.

Ty, to me a bully is one that attempts to intimidate others or to control them in ways they don't agree to. Given the ease with which you can make what you don't want to see invisible I just can't understand why you wish to stop others from talking among themselves about other things that are very important to them.

Now you're really ****ing me off. Wanna find out how quickly I cave, dude?
Or do you want to find out WHAT I cave? You're welcome to come trotting over here and find out. Ignorant? When? Bully? How? Now I know you owe me a fricking apology and I'm not willing to accept a telephone call. Make it here and now or shut the **** up. Start shutting up directly, as a matter of fact. If all the people were making calls for everyone to stop, perhaps it would make a difference, and even after offering to do so myself, you have been casting aspersions on me while I haven't been reading the threads. Nice ****ing tactic. I think you need to look at yourself, Ty. You seem to be trying to impose your will on the entire newsgroup and in my view of school yard charm, that makes you the bully. And you may notice I've only been involved in these threads for the last few days trying to stop your bashing of me on a personal basis with your insults. However, because you are so verbal about my expression of my concerns, you probably only notice what you want when you want to. So be it.

The only way to deal with them is head on, which is starting to happen now. Bullies usually cave quite quickly when they are called on their abuse. Start calling directly, now.

Ignorant? When? Bully? How? Now I know you owe me a fricking apology and I'm not willing to accept a telephone call. Make it here and now or shut the **** up. Start shutting up directly, as a matter of fact. If all the people were making calls for everyone to stop, perhaps it would make a difference, and even after offering to do so myself, you have been casting aspersions on me while I haven't been reading the threads. Nice ****ing tactic. I think you need to look at yourself, Ty. You seem to be trying to impose your will on the entire newsgroup and in my view of school yard charm, that makes you the bully. And you may notice I've only been involved in these threads for the last few days trying to stop your bashing of me on a personal basis with your insults. However, because you are so verbal about my expression of my concerns, you probably only notice what you want when you want to. So be it. Like I said in an earlier post, I support your idea of having others speak up. But then again, perhaps they just have their killfile set for threads they don't want to see.

There's only one problem with the "OT:" thing, which is that, if you think you should be putting "OT:" in the subject, then you really shouldn't be posting at all, or at least not to the group you are thinking of posting to. Plus, if most everyone *did* do that, then there would be people who would decide on purpose to leave out the "OT:", because they know if they include it, their post won't be seen by as many people. And those would be the most annoying posts of all... - Logan |

I'm earnest about this, because time has proven that there is a bona fide need for this group of people to chat also about things non-audio. I agree. Off-topic topics may well need their own newsgroup as it does go against the charter of RAP, as Ty so verbally suggests, but the truth of the matter is that these threads wouldn't encompas the people they do for the length of time they run if people weren't interested in the topics themselves. It makes for a sticky wicket to be forced to shut up about something that obviously a lot of us believe strongly in because of a few people, but then, it really doesn't belong here. But I'd like it to be a sub-newsgroup of this one so that we can expect to easily see the same people. We all eat, sleep, **** and breath audio (perhaps not in that order). Sometimes there are other things going on in the world, and it would be nice to know that we have a place right around the virtual corner to go to share concerns and discuss the world. Then again, after 9 million questions about hard disk geometry tables and such I finally gave up on the WinNT forum as an MS VIP. After all, almost all of us could simply point most of today's questioners to the FAQ and have it covered. I absolutely support a rec.audio.pro.saloon or .watercooler or whatever. That way we'll know that those of us presenting threads or responding to threads won't have to put up with Ty's ****ing seriously personal character assassinations. I don't want to leave RAP because of Ty, but then I don't want Ty ending up a smeghead either. It's one thing to act like a smeghead and quite another to actually end up being one. I don't believe Ty is actually there, but he's damned close. And only another smeghead would know. Has anyone noticed that studio sessions seem to be going down right now or is this simply me? Personally, I attribute it to the political air, not the summer air. -- Roger W. Norman SirMusic Studio Geoff Wood wrote: Is that rec.audio.pro.
