And that's why the whole project was delayed.
You obviously do not know much about book publishing, spud.
You no doubt speculate about that topic the same way you
speculate about audio.
(I assume that you
goofballs joined John Atkinson in contacting my publisher
about my "crimes.") The publisher, Routledge, is a branch of
Taylor & Francis, one of the biggest publishing outfits in
the world, and they not only were happy with my work but
actually contacted me a bit later about doing still another
book. I passed on that, because a similar and very good book
on the subject they wanted dealt with had already been
published in several editions over the years. They did tell
me that they would be in touch about new projects in time.
So you say. It is difficult to take the word of a known plagiarizer.
Say, if I am this "known plagiarizer" why don't you do
something about it? Be a man, Biff.
In any case, you pinheads clearly overrate your impact on
the real world.
We impacted your world, big time.
I am still writing and publishing, Biff, which is more than
we can say for you. Of course, one advantage I have over you
is that I can write.
You're not boxing my ears. I am here to tell you that as long as you think
it's okay to come back here and post your drivel, I think it's okay to
continually remind people that you were drummed out of here for
plagiarizing.
Drummed out of here? Give me a break, doofus. Nobody gets
"drummed out of here" on RAO. Hell, you are still here, and
in spite of you being a doofus, it appears you will be
staying on for quite a while.
I've been here for six years. I've made friends here, made business contacts
here, and even received writing assignments here. I won a $4000 power
amplifier here. Why would I leave?
Ah, the benefits of life in a fool's paradise. A $4000 power
amplifier! Who in the hell here would award you something
like that for hanging around RAO? Of course, an amp that
expensive is overkill, but admittedly a free sample would be
just fine. Only a jerk would pay real money for something
like that, of course. Ironically, a good $600 receiver with
Dolby Pro Logic II would probably sound just as good - until
you kicked in the three surround channels. Then it would
sound better.
I do the same thing with Arny and his pedophilia.
Again, that you obsess about this pedophile situation says
way more about you than it does about him. The guy with a
problem is you, buddy boy.
Yes, I have a problem with people who talk about fondling their dead teenaged
sons in their coffins on audio newsgroups. I also have problems with people
like you who think it is A-OK to do so.
I think that this affectation of yours is either a figment
of your imagination or a conscious effort to malign the
reputation of an individual who clearly knows more about
audio than you. Probably a bit of both, because I think you
are both devious and not able to row your mental boat with
both oars.
He is so addicted to the
Internet that he would rather be known for the fact that he's a pedophile
than
to not post here. You see, I have principles about such things.
Principles? Give me a break. You are a doofus who is
obsessed with pedophiles.
You are a doofus who thinks pedophilia is okay as long as you hate high-end
audio.
You are the obsessive who invents demons to hide the fact
that you are an audio ignoramus.
And by the
way, I bet Peter Walker thought you were a blackguard, too.
All those involved will have to read what I wrote about Quad
loudspeakers (and dozens of other manufacturers, topics, and
individuals) in The Encyclopedia of Recorded Sound to find
out.
Heavily edited from the original submission, all will note.
Both the original and the rewrite are fully complementary to
the man. You need to get out more. As for my personal views
of flat planar type or line-source loudspeakers (not
included in the Encyclopedia material, by the way), well, I
am not particularly impressed with their potential in some
versions. Yes, they can sound quite good, but so can a lot
of more conventional designs that cost considerably less.
Incidentally, I reviewed one flat-panel line-source design
in issue 94 of The Sensible Sound and rather liked it.
However, the reasons I liked it would probably go right over
your pointed head, Biff.
