Hey Powell... I see you felt the need to have one last go at attempting

I'll be leaving. Wackjob Bob is even in worse shape than you, he
actually made threats of violence today upon hearing that this would be
my last thread. He even tried to get me to respond in other threads
but... no go! Maybe you and him should get together and have a
self-pity party over my departure?

Oh yes, I remember now.... your reading comprehension skills suck the
big one. Get someone who doesn't just read comic books to explain what
I wrote to you.


RAO proves you can't have that any longer
in unmoderated form.

Book burning is better

I'm sure that's one of your favorite pastimes as well, along with
trolling the audio groups, attacking people trying to educate your
ignorant ass. As we speak, you're probably working on a bomb that will
"destroy all the subjectivists in this evil world!".

already have that choice in rec.audio. high-end.

Who's talking about RAHE, I was talking about RAO, you ignorant clod.
Am I speaking too fast for you? Try to keep up.


Among the many many people that I was supposed to be, includes:

- Dr. Richard Graham
- Dr. Frankenstein Oetker II
- Cujo
- Wallace & Gromit
- May Belt
- Richard Belt (?)
- Lionel
- Jamie Benchimol


Truth: I'm none of the above.

"Truth"... is a metaphor, just like *honesty is
the best policy*.

"Honesty is the best policy" is not a metaphor, brainiac, and neither
is truth, except perhaps in your discombobulated mind. Truth is a
condition, plain and simple. Everything in the universe is either true
or false. You're false, in case you were wondering.

So what mr. soundhaspriority you thought
you were the first and only.

Who said I did? Remember what I just said about you being "false"? I'm
saying it again, liar. Prove that I said that, or wallow in your
obvious lies.

Either I get over my narcissism or I just stay angry, but it's my choice.

Well, you've always had an irrational anger toward me in every single
on of your posts, and as I've told you many times in the past, your
anger is not doing any good for you or your stereo system (which
probably sounds like crap in the rare times when you may not be
angry...). So I suggest you get over your anger. OTOH, can't you just
get over both?

The fact that I was attacked vehemently and
incessantly, immediately and all throughout
any discussions about audio I tried to have,
makes everyone else here the "lunatics", since
this IS an audio opinion newsgroup.

Oh please, then get in line.

I don't think you really understand the point of my post that started
this thread, you mind-numbing imbecile. I'm not IN line. I'm getting
OUT of the line. "G-e-t i-t"..? It will be -your- problem now. "G-e-t
i-t"..? Am I talking too fast for you? Seems that maybe your denial
about me leaving reveals that your desire to have me stick around is
even greater than anyone imagined.


Your ticket number
at the r.a.o. complaint department is 10,001.

........"Calling 10,001! 10,001, step up!"

SHP: "Yes, I'd like to make a complaint."

RCD: Which is?

SHP: "Powell is an asshole"

RCD: "Registered".



It didn't matter if my audio discussions were
about my tweaks,

Yes, it did.

No, it didn't.


the Belt products I use,

Quack, quack, quack...

Would you stop farting, Powell? You're even driving Wackjob Bob and
Mumbles Middius away, and those 2 weasels normally regale in the smell
of someone farting.


the turntables I use, speaker theory or audio
advice that I was giving to others.

Yes, it did.

No, it didn't.


People ALWAYS found reasons to attack me
for my opinions. Not merely "disagree", but
"attack".

Zzzzz... you drew first blood.


Prove it, liar.

People attacked me for having too cheap a
stereo system, claiming I was "impoverished".

That is the "truth" as you would say.

I thought you said "truth is a metaphor"?


Or they attacked me for having too expensive
a stereo, and the basis then was that I was an
"audiofool"...

That's USEnet. You cannot accept *what is*.

Uh, I think I aready proved this 6 weeks ago in my report on this group
("Message to RAO..."), where I said that RAO does not care about or
accept what is true, regardless of what evidence lays behind it. Wild
baseless speculations however, are always representative of the truth.
So tell me something I don't know, Dr. Quack.

I dropped by for the same reason most people
here drop by: to talk about audio, to share ideas
and experiences...

You claimed to have special knowledge but were
unable to quantify it.

I never claimed to have "special knowledge". Any knowledge I have is
readily available on the net and elsewhere, if you are willing to do
the research. It wouldn't matter in your case, as you were never able
to understand even the basics of morphic resonance theory -as it
relates to audio-. You only argued that it didn't because you couldn't
find anything about "audio" in Sheldrake's work, you nitwit.

It's also difficult to glean
very much from antidotal information.

"Gee... it never occured to us to pseudo-scientific objectivist quacks
to actually TRY the damn tweaks ourselves, instead of just dismissing
them because we don't understand how they work!!" And you wonder why
almost all of usenet and the audio community thinks you're bigoted
idiots?

End of story without new information.

I have some new information for you: you're an asshole.
If you'd like a second opinion on that, then you're an ignorant asshole
as well.
End of story.

It does however raise the issue that in 2006, you
can no longer talk about audio on rec.audio.opinion,
the very theme of this group's charter....

Quack, quack, quack...


"......and when you point that out, RAO regulars start farting at the
idea of coming here to discuss audio...."


As for me, I stayed for the reason most people
here stay: to bash others on the head for their
differences in beliefs...

If I understand your mind set correctly, the world
has to treat you fairly in order for you to respond
in kind.

No, people do, if they wish me to respond in kind. I don't deal with
"the world", maniac. No one here treated me "fairly", least of all you.
But God knows I've seen enough people here (like you for example) whine
and complain to me like snivelling weasels, on account of the fact that
I did not bow down and take their attacks with grace and kindness. But
instead chose to attack back, since that's all they deserved from me.

I have the mental capacity to hate
because it is easy for me to do so, irrespective
of this n.g.. Again, your choice.

I would argue that anyone has the "mental capacity to hate", not just
you. But its your choice if all you were willing to do was spew your
vile "hatred" at me, and your ignorant misguided ideas about audio, and
such. Its your choice if all you are willing to do with your life is
hang out on this newsgroup spewing hatred and bile every single day.
Its my choice to leave you rot in this prison of yours to continue your
hateful ways, otherwise known as "RAO", otherwise known as the "asshole
of the global audio community".

Since most people are and wish to remain ignorant
about advanced audio concepts, and anything else
that challenges them to open their minds and think
or experiment a little, most people's beliefs are
different than (some of) mine.

Not so. Everyone has a unique perspective of audio
based on their own experiences, not just you.

Really? Do you know anyone with a more unique perspective on audio than
myself? Remember, I believe that "holy water" will improve my sound. As
far as I know, I'm the only person in the world who believes that. If
you know someone with a more unique perspective on audio Powell, give
me a name. I'd like to meet that person. I say you're pulling this out
of your arse, like everything you say, and you don't know anyone like
that. Someone like you only hangs around with textbook engineers, and
even then, only the more conservative ones.

Furthemore, you again showed you didn't understand my statement,
because your argument repeats what I said, nimrod.

As such, this means having to bash the heads of
most people here. Which I don't mind.

The reality is that your methodology/technique for
discussion is ineffectual.

So the "technique or methodology" used for discussion is more important
than what is said? I think that says all we need to know about you,
Powell....

Good thing I don't care to convince anyone of anything, isn't
it........

The one inalienable fact remains, and keeps remaining,
despite all the words said against the tweaks in 3
months (most of which are not mine): Almost everyone
denouncing, deriding, mocking, scoffing, ridiculing and
sweepingly dismissing them, has NEVER TRIED THEM.

You are not respected so the confidence in your findings
becomes fodder for the mill. Accept *what is* and
move on.

Damn it, are you EVER thick in the head...... Maybe all that "quacking"
you do is really you having a brain fart. Again, you failed at basic
reading comprehension. My statement above **is saying just that**. That
I have accepted the fact that RAO consists of a small group of ignorant
bigots and I am moving on. You don't tell someone who's moving on "move
on", you redundant fool. Further evidence of the extent of what a fool
you are is shown by you saying "confidence in my findings" is necessary
in order to believe the tweaks work. When I must have drilled this into
people's heads about 1,000 times now: you do NOT require "confidence"
in what someone says about audio anything, to determine if it is valid.
You ONLY require a working pair of ears, a working and open mind, and
the willingness to test out their theory".

If you don't care to do that, then don't do that, and accept that
you're a dumb ignorant bigot if you comment on the audio experiment one
way or the other, without having tried it yourself. You don't do
experiments though because even though you're on an audiophile group.,
you're not an audiophile. You're just an audiophile hater, here for the
politics of flame wars.

Their ignorant arrogance says "You don't have to
try to them to KNOW they don't work".

You do not recognize that time has value.

I recognize that YOUR time has no value, since I said I was moving on,
and nevertheless, you wrote 16 freaking pages of a hateful diatribe
against me. I recognize too that most people's time here has little
value since like you, all they do all the time is post pointless,
worthless, meaningless flame attacks.

A second inalienable fact remains: NO ONE
SUCCESSFULLY REFUTED THEM.

Empirically true perhaps, but theoretically this whole
concept is fanciful at best.

"Fanciful" is another way of saying "I'm an idiot. I dont' know what
I'm talking about, I've never properly research the theory or
empirically evaluated the concepts at all. But I'll give you my
worthless opinion on it anyway, because it all sounds so "wacko" to me.
Because I'm an idiot, remember".

In another lie, there is a perception that I care
about whether people try them or not. I will
say for the last time, that IS NOT TRUE. Just
because you talk about something, doesn't mean
you care about every issue surrounding the
subject.

If this is true why are you not personally secure
enough to only present the information without then
resorting to adolescent behaviors and vulgarities.

Fallacious reasoning. It's simply your worthless opinion that one is
not "personally secure" if one resorts to what you describe as
"adolescent behaviours and vulgarities", and that this somehow has
something to do with whether I care or not about whether people try the
tweaks or not. Take a good look around you, you stupid freak:
"Adolescent behaviours and vulgarities" is the language of RAO. Its
what you and your people understand, ergo, I speak to the natives of
RAO in your "native language", to make myself understood by you. By
your reasoning, anything that Morein, yourself and many others here
would have to be completely disregarded because of your "adolescent
behaviours and vulgarities".

I could care less what you do with the "information" I presented. Mock
it, deride it, kick it, tear it up, **** on it, crap on it, I could not
care less. It wasn't put up for you or anyone on RAO for that matter,
since most of you deserve no less than to be spat upon.

So what if your message has fallen on deft ears?

No, it hasn't fallen on "deft" ears, Mr. Imbecile. There are few people
on this group who posess "deft ears". By the way, I know that's not a
typo on your part. You really are that stupid that you believed that's
what the expression was. Have a fifth grade English student explain to
you what an idiot you are. I'm sure it will be an "ear-opening
experience"

You can only lead a horse to the water, right.

Or a pig to the trough, rather.

Or is it something deeper, mr. Narcissist?

Its always something deeper, Mr. Asshole. insert evil laugh If you
knew who I really was, you might understand that......


For me personally, it isn't the tweaks themselves
that I care about, (and I never even cared to share
-any- of them with this group, which is why I only
posted the least effective ones). It's the challenge
and the reactions they provoke.

Hehehe... next time start with something meaningful,
please.

"Hehehe...." That was "something meaningful" and there won't be a "next
time". BTW, you're a little lost. The trough is that way. You can
tell by the smell, little piggie...

"if you're not good to yourself
you'll be drowned out
by your inner scream

becomes a disease

Hypocrite, remove the timber from your own eye first.


Remember, your anger becomes a disease...... ....it does nothing to
me, though.
