Right now they are ignoring it, hoping that it will go away. If that doesn't
work, they'll try to turn it into a thread about cars, politics, booze,
and/or how much they hate either Mikey or me.

What is there to hate? Some guy babbling about make believe components? Who
cares? People want to fight windmills? Let them. If anyone gets around to
making this a thread about real audio some of us may offer some opinions about
the subject.
