Question about functional insanity

[George M. Middius[_4_]]

Does craziness invariably affect long-term memory?

It appears to me that the Krooborg has lost touch with his earlier not-crazy
self completely. Lately, he also appears to be irremediably distanced from
his half-crazy-yet-functional self. As a sane person, I can recall how I
felt at various times of my life, and in various situations. Does going mad
destroy the ability to recall feelings?

Well, he's now 62. With that advanced age, he's faced with his own
mortality. He's wasted the last 11 years of his life on Usenet and
has completely destroyed his reputation and credibility. NPD becomes
more pronounced with age for these reasons. It's a defense mechanism
to keep these individuals from committing suicide.

Consequently, breaking through NPD without proper medical supervision
can have disastrous results. I think that's what Jenn meant by fear.
We're not afraid of Arny, but I think we'd feel partially responsible
if he did experience a complete breakdown.

Yada, yada.

Let's talk about the ethical breakdown that caused Tone Audio to put the
employee of a power conditioner vendor in charge of its tests of competitive
power conditioners.

You just told us about it in a couple of posts. You said that dan Babineau
was Tone Audio's DBT guru and ran all your DBT tests. YOu also told us that
Tone Audio had done DBTs of power conditioners.

You'd think three spirits and the ghost of a former partner would do the
job, but Mr. Scrooge was living up to the social standards of his time.

Your reading of that story apparently led to a pretty offbeat
interpretation. A chacun sa propre merde, I guess.

He wasn't evading taxes or neglecting the Dickensian "safety net" of the
poorhouse. Scrooge did his duty as far as required while falling short
of the extra mile, more Scottie than Krooie.

Rather than spirits, Arny needs a Virgil.

I did not say that. I said he ran the CD/SACD comparison the other
day.

YOu also told us that
> Tone Audio had done DBTs of power conditioners.

I said that I did the comparisons. I never mentioned Dan's name.

You seem to be having a problem with making assumptions lately. For
instance, you assumed I was talking about my McIntosh music server and
not the CD/SACD player we had in for review. I never said anything
about my music server, but you just went rushing in like an idiot.
Then you blamed me for NOT validating your assumptions in advance.

Sloppy, sloppy thinking on your part. The NPD is getting much worse.
Stop blaming your faulty thought processes on me. Just shut the ****
up already. I'm really tired of your incessant whining and lying.

As the McIntosh music server does also play CDs, AK
was incorrect to state that it _wasn't_ a CD player. Had
he actually read the text of my article instead of
shooting from the hip based on the graph headings,
he would have known that.

Usual fact-bending by one who is well-experienced at it.

Most of us know what a CD player is, it is a stand-alone device that plays
only CD media. Most people know that while a DVD player is not a CD player,
it does play CDs.

No "debating trade" points for knowing what you're talking about.

As I said, the McIntosh plays CDs. It is a CD
player (and more).

Damnit, John! If we've told you once we've told you 100 times: no
nuance allowed. No extended definitions, and abso****inglutely no
straightforward literal pronouncements.

I mean...caling something that plays a CD a CD player is beyond the
damn pale.

I actually used the term "digital player" when I first mentioned the
comparison, so **** off already.

We have not yet concluded the discusssion regarding the
ethical breakdown that caused a computer repair man who
works as a church volunteer, to claim to be a professional
recording engineer.

I noticed that. The first question in my mind was as usual, "What kind of
deception is Marc trying to pull off this time". Thanks for not
disappointing me, Marc. Yes, you are that predictable.

That was a good thing, because it is quite clear that Marc Phillips could
not ever do such a thing.

It was a reasonable assumption, just not a correct assumption. It comes with

fools and idiots.

I'm sorry to hear about the fact that you want to physically hurt me, Marc.
That pushes your disorders over the line into the realm of pathologies.

Wrong. I mention digital players because we played both CDs and SACDs
and I wanted to be accurate in my description. JA was right...if it
plays CDs, it's a CD player. At any rate, all of this is smoke and
mirrors on your parts, which is what you do whenever your argument
falls apart. A real man simply admits when he makes a mistake. He
doesn't blame everyone else for causing him to make a mistake. A real
man is always accountable. He never tells strangers that his daughter
is trained in martial arts and will protect him against unwanted
visitors.

Nature tends to take care of such things. The only reason you're
still alive at 62 is that you never leave the house. But your weakness
and inability to be a productive member of society will catch up to
you. Of course you could always turn things around. Too bad about
that NPD getting in the way.

Not, it's not quite clear since you have no idea what I can and cannot
do. But I also do not believe in DBTs as a definitive way to judge
components. I know very few serious people in the audio world that
do. DBTs tend to be the realm of old ex-audio guys who hang around
the Internet and bitch endlessly about the EHEE. When we do DBTs at
the magazine, it's more about satisfying those guys than getting
closer to the truth.

In terms of useless DBT protocols, perhaps. But in evaluating the
equipment, no.

Only for yourself. That's due to the narcissistic personality

Only if you suffer from NPD and are too eager to discredit someone
else. You didn't read thoroughly, you made a mistake and there's no
one to blame but yourself. You're the only person who made the
mistake, and you're the only one with NPD. It's not brain surgery.

Typical response from someone who has NPD. It's a delusion, of
course.

Physically hurt you? When did I say that?

The usual convention is to describe a player in terms of the most recent
form of media that they play. For example, most if not all Blu-Ray players
also play DVD-V and audio CDs. But nobody calls them "CD players" even
though they are players of CDs.

JA was being his usual argumentative self. The boy obviously needs a
full-time job. As do you, Marc.

Krooger's obsession with DBTs and the crack-brained aBxism religion stems
from his outsider-peering-in status. He fantasizes about being a Real Audio
Guy, and he knows that some Real Audio Companies actually do run DBTs as
part of their R&D process. But Turdborg can't separate fantasy from reality,
so he pretends all consumers are frustrated designers. That's one reason he
keeps ranting about DBTs for Normals.

The statements usually come as e-mail attachments, as you
would well know if you received any:-) In addition they
can be viewed on line, just as one can check a bank
account with on-line banking.

The good thing about working on classical and jazz
projects is that they remain in catalogue and on
broadcaster's play lists for many many years.

But you can work out your own payments due:
You claim to have >1 000. OK let's build in your
penchant for hyperbole, and reduce that number
by 50% , to say 500 recordings, which might
in this hypothetical case, be published by a small
label, and have small to medium sales.

You could then expect your half yearly royalty
cheque, dependiong on the deal you have managed
to make, to exceed what you probably earn annually
as a computer repair man. Keep in mind aso that
royalties are just "extras" in addition to the session
fees. And if the band with which you are working
is touring, you will get paid for that too.

Major labels may have better marketing,
advertising and sales, but the royalty income does
not increase in direct proportion as the percentage
paid by larger companies is usually smaller.

GOIA chooses not to whore himself thus. He is true to his artistic
vision and simply *refuses* to make much money at his hobby.

Otherwise his recordings would be available to other professionals,
opening him up a whole new "Posse" laughing at him. That plus he'd
have to pay taxes and ****. Further, a real career in recording would
interfere with his first priority, his Usenet career.

No, it's much better to hide his work and criticize everybody else's.
