Andrew Jute McCoy committed a whining exudation consisting of:

Amazing how many of the socalled "audiophiles" whose chequebooks are
bigger than their taste or their common sense want to defend Steven R
Rochlin.

Last I looked, there was damned little defense of Mr. Rochlin here, and
quite a bit of disdain (or worse) for Mr. McCoy. Answering a couple of
questions asked in this thread:

Is Mr. McCoy more stupid than he looks?

Well, that makes the assumption that it is on some scale of comparison
that such a descriptive would be relevant and applicable. It is
obsessive, socially inept and though clever with words, not terribly
bright. So, with those handicaps, "Stupid" is not applicable as its
behavior is entirely beyond its control.

As to any sort of suit for defamation against it, consider: That one
would win is obvious, even in an Irish court where Blarney is a given
and looked at somewhat favorably. But what would one gain?

Its assets (being generous):

A clapped out bicycle. Maybe two.
A SET amplifier that does not work and of dubious salvage value.
Speakers fit only for Gregorian Chant at low volume
Possibly other similarly spavined, limited audio gear, but of dubious
value as well.
298 copies of each of its titles from a number of vanity publishers.
The full print run less two, of course.
Various personal items that Goodwill would refuse.
Its entire bank account or a pint of Guiness... the latter will be
worth more.
Its future earnings less basic living expenses...

In other words, a collosal waste of time for no possible worthwhile
gain.

As to its name: There is a listing in Cork, Ireland for Andre Jute.
That it is its real name is unlikely. Under Published Authors, it lists
an Andrew Jute McCoy as a writer of hackneyed fiction on common themes.
The reviews are pretty dreadful.

But as every other part and piece of its sad, silly, desperately
unhappy and frustrated existence is a lie, or based on lies, why not
the name as just another affectation along with its other assumed
expertise?
