Luke, why are you so contentious?

Postby Xenu » Wed Aug 13, 2008 5:20 pm

Posted here because it needs to be posted here. For whomever didn't see it:

You say "Does that mean we can all ignore comments from people who hear differences between 2 digitally identical pressings? They've never compared those pressings to the master, right?"


Two words: reading comprehension


Have you ever asked yourself why you are so contentious?

Never mind Luke.
You've taught me something.

I'm sometimes fooled by what appears to be intelligence in your posts. Then all the arrogant and immature crap starts in the follow ups.


This is what happens when a fool is called on his foolishness. Five bucks says it doesn't get yanked.

Why do you guys still post there? And why so vague and hush-hush whenever you mention them here? Afraid your precious accounts will be yanked?

:lol: Okay. Good luck with that. I think they actually called me "contentious" when they banned me, and told me that I would be allowed back if I wrote them an essay, apologizing for said contentiousness. Luke better watch his ass!

Perhaps they actually took my advice and removed the thread.

They don't need to listen to my advice; the post was clearly out of line. I'd like to think I'm not on terrible terms with the Gorts, anyway; after all, "flaccid" was several years ago at this point.

I hate to go on Snakepit on this, but really. I think Hoffman has finally chosen sides in this particular doctrinal war that he decides to leave something like this up. I attempted to call out Barry on his superciliousness and got deleted. Surprise!

As if any of us needed confirmation that audiophilia (at least SH's particular brand of it) is simply a celebration of conspicuous consumption with no consideration of value.

And hey, if that's what you want, that's great. At least it's now official policy so you clearly know that you're not welcome if you disagree.

The smugness is suffocating. I predict a hydrogenaudio incursion.

THe HA folk don't seem to pay SHtv much attention, except once in a blue moon to dismiss it along with places like Audio Asylum as hopeless.

BTw, I can't access that SHtv thread...did the whole thing get deleted since THurs?
