How much time do you spend perusing the blogosphere, anyway?





Everybody who humiliates Mr. **** turns out to be stupid or a liar.
Thousands and thousands of fully functional human beings are all
stupid or liars or both. And yet Arnii Krooger portrays himself as
an oracle of truth and a paragon of brilliance. What are the odds?

Go with it. From this research we can conclude:

1. Everybody on RAO is as stupid as 2pid.

2. Everybody here dislikes John Atkinson intensely.

3. RAO is a hotbed of not-very-well-thought-out uber-right-wing
political beliefs

4. Everybody on RAO despises gays.

5. Everybody on RAO 'thinks' the US should stay in Iraq indefinitely.

6. Everybody on RAO 'thinks' Islam sucks.

7. "Science" should play a part in selecting consumer audio goods.

And so on.

Anyone with a brain would see that isn't the case.

Those that do not have brains see it that way anyway.

All of these things have been repeated on RAO by one member of the
group more than once.

So, yes, quite.

Did you read that as Brattie trying to be humorous? He has a history of
awarding himself the authority to pass judgment on everybody who's not
what he calls "normal".

Don't be stinting with your rage, Scooter. The world is full of people
who don't hate you (yet).

The Whooshdom of Witlessmongrel

On honesty:
Do you really think a bunch of lying BS is funny Bob?

On unchecked anger:
You call that a vengeance? I call it swatting flies.

On humor:
But all lying BS isn't humor Bob. It has to be funny, not lame.

On audiophilia:
Ok Bob. Since you're obviously going to lose the last little grip on reality you have ….
Being an audiophile today is to risk being branded a loony thanks to folk like you Bob.
Audio reviewers are often full of BS and clearly are unwilling to ever give a negative review.

George, give 2pid his due. "Normal" (anybody who is a middle-class-or-
above, heterosexual, racist, God-fearing, chickenhawk conservative
white male) is one of the few English words that he hasn't butchered
the definition of.

Good thing Scottie isn't a grammer kop....

How does our witless friend feel about rich folks, anyway? Most of them
got rich by being smart enough to master a system. Scottie is just a
wage slave like the rest of us middle class people. With all of his
prejudices and hangups, wouldn't you expect him to be seething with rage
about economic inequities? Not as bad as Krooger, of course, but
still....
