Now we should have a poll...who prefers off topic discussion to
off topic ridicule?

That's a false question. It implies that the OT discussion is just
naturally there, and that the ridicule is the problem,

Lol...you're such a rookie.

Go back a few years when we had knowledgeable people
who discussed audio...guys like JJ who
were relentlessly branded as Phoebe the telco witch
and tell me again that ridicule follows the OT.

If an audio post is ridiculed, it's actually on-topic, 2pid. Here's an
example:

*********************************************
Anyone see any correlations between the characterizations of Mr. Holt
and opinions posted on rao by the anti-objectivists in recent years?

Sure. The "anti-objectivists" want to advance sound quality.

Why "advance" sound quality when everything already sounds the same?
We've hit the wall: 16-bit CDs, QSC amps and wire from Home Depot.
Audio nirvana, no sound advancement required.

So what are you bitching about?

Talk about watering down and sweetening your ridicule
to soda pop level.

This poster hasn't earned the type of response that you have, 2pid.
He'd have to post stupidity for months and months and months to even
begin to catch up with you and good old Arns.

This is so pale as to be transparent.

Is it on-topic or not?

***********************************************

Do you see the dilemma the original poster created, 2pid? Electronics,
cables, and all sources (except for vinyl/turntables or tape, I
presume, which makes one a "bigot", as we've seen...) are "solved",
yet it is the "anti-objectivists" who are responsible for halting
audio progress, where progress is apparently not needed. What's left
to progress? So I poked fun at the original poster for being too dim
to see the unsolvable dillemma he had created.

Speakers are objectively tested at the factory. There has been
discussion here on blind-testing at Harman, for example. So what ill
have "anti-objectivists" created in the world of audio?

Never mind...devotion to the middiot won't allow a fair
assessment from you.

I use logic, 2pid. If you want to 'discuss' something, how about where
the flaw in my logic is?

Equating mild repartee to vileness is flawed logic.

Because I didn't call him "2pid"? LOL! OK, the original poster was too
****ing stupid to see the unsolvable dilemma he'd created. Vile enough
for you? How about I start calling him "Phoebe"? That would be like,
so totally vile. LOL!

Maybe you truly can't see the difference.

That sounds to me like a subjective call, 2pid. What are the objective
requirements for "vile"?
