Default A psychologist's view of Hi-Fi fetishism

Do you know all that stuff for fact or is it a

characterisation?

I'll start at the beginning. Philthy here has a hobby
business and as such under Australian taxation law is not
registered for GST which means his turnover is less than
A$50,000 per year. Where he lives and the rents he would
paying makes for a very meagre lifestyle if this was his
only income. Remember we are talking turnover not profit
here. So it is an "educated guess" yes.

see http://tinyurl.com/3bfrze

As a characterisation, it may be a little over the top!

....but don't let me
stop you.

Please remember that I and several of my friends in business
here have had this guy has *PAY* for company searches on
our businesses and then he has proceeded to malign and libel
anyone else attached to those businesses in cluding family
members.

The only thing I object to is any derogatory allusion to

his source of
income. If Phil is suffering from chronic clinical

depression, as I suspect
he is, he deserves financial support. The alternatives are

worse!

I have no objection to Philthy receiving government
assistance *except* he needs to forced to keep on his
medications and/or institutionalised without internet
access! Also please do not misunderstand my intention here,
I am not in anyway belittling anyone who genuinely needs
support *BUT* I am having a shot at Philthy who constantly
carries on as if he is a grand entrepreneur and has a
thriving electronics business.

As you have no doubt seen he is constantly having a shot at
*anyone* that has a mere glimmer of success attached to them
and if in doubt please do a Google Groups search?

As a pensioned disabled carer, the only source of income I

have is from that
pension and the only thing that keeps me happy and is

music, glorious music.

My sincerest sympathies here and am very pleased you can
find happiness in music. I believe in genuine cases as
yourself the social services are in no way doing enough to
help and support people in your situation. I only have a
problem with people recieving benefits they are not entitled
to.

BTW do a Google Groups search on philthy's name and
"Autistic" http://tinyurl.com/ysnxme

I also apologise in advance for the potential distress you
may have in reading Philthy's posts in that link.

I make it 836! So please tell me how much he really cares
for the sufferes of this condition or the people engaged in
their care? Or the numerous times he has told people to
"get cancer and die"? I personally find it very difficult
to to feel any sympathy for this sad little man and no
hardship is too bad to befall him.



The same goes for my dependant, who is bed ridden. I've

built him his own
remote controlled Hi-Fi and entertainment system sitting

at the end of his
bed. The necessity to do so on a small income is what

compels me towards
DIY.

There will be enornous amout of good quality second hand
gear coming on the market as manufacturers push for ever
more featured gizmos ;-) Just think what a Playstation 2
will be worth in about 2 weeks ;-) As entertainment box
with networking abilty, DVD/CD replay and a HD it may be
something to think about perhaps.


So finally Mark if I have offended you in any way please
accept my apology as it was not my intention to disparage
anyone except Philthy.

Cheers TT
