Everyone knows that RAT is the target of all kinds of scum who come
here only to conduct flame wars.

Most of them, like Worthless Wiecky, are, well, worthless. They are the
only ones who think they're clever. Silence is the most scathing
comment one can make on their mindless witterings.

Some, like Carlson and Yeager (Yaeger?) are crooked garage vermin
hoping to make a buck but unable to button their lip. Anyone who deals
with people with so little self-control will get what they deserve.

But here I want to address my attention to the slime with electrical
qualifications who come on RAT and UKRA and RAO with the specific
purpose of draining the glee from someone else's hobby. They too,
ludicrously, fancy themselves polemicists. Anyone who wants to
investigate that aspect of their self-delusion can read the threads to
discover how easily I persuade them simultaneously to scratch their
arses and pick their noses in public, how easily one can manipulate
these clowns into exposing their viciousness in their own words. That's
hardly worth pointing out to an aware readership.

The specific aspect of their misbehaviour that attracts my attention
now is their input on a single technical matter, negative feedback.

NFB, and the attitudes to it of various schools of audiophiles, is a
favourite whipping-rod of the diplomaed quarterwits who make up the
silicon slime. We have had years of Krueger and his organ-grinder's
monkey Pinkerton, and the other wretched Ps, and their footsoldier
Trevor Wilson, abusing us on NFB. Wilson went so far as to call me a
liar on NFB because I made some mild jokes about it. Notice the
subtext: he cannot call me a liar unless he first admits that I am
knowledgeable about it; ditto with his abuse of Patrick Turner and
others on the same subject.

Turn now to a recent thread on RAT, "Negative Feedback in Triodes: The
Logical and Experimental Proof".
http://groups.google.ie/group/rec.au...f8d8ed 263a35
If you don't care about the technicalities, you don't need to read it.
All you need to know is that in this thread I prove beyond a shadow of
a doubt, with a replicable experiment, that triodes sound so good, and
are capable of being used in zero negative feedback circuits,
***because the negative feedback is built into the triode***. To hammer
home the truth, I demonstrate that a pentode is a triode with extra
screens to subvert the native NFB of a triode. To nail that truth down
so that the dumbest of the graduate engineers (1) cannot misread it,
Patrick Turner then fills out the argument with an incontestible set of
observable numbers.

That is what the technically-qualified wannabe flame warriors spent
years trying to make me admit, that I use NFB. I ran them around the
mulberry bush for those years just because they are malicious scum and
deserve someone righteous and smart on their arse as punishment for
their continual attempts to set up a pork butchery in someone else's
synagogue.

Now check the names of the contributors to the thread. Ignore the
fartcatchers who follow me around everywhere and make worthless
ocmments every time I fart. Ask instead: Where is Pinkerton? Where is
Pearce? Where is Poopie Stevenson? Where is Arnie Krueger? Where is
Trevor Wilson? Where is Henry Pasternack? Why, I'm singing from their
hymn sheet! But do they come out to support me? Good heavens no! There
isn't a chink in my screed or Patrick's numbers for them to insert
their nastiness. Rather than support my good work in their cause, they
are absent and silent. They have no positive impulse.

Do we need any further proof that the silicon slime is on the net
merely for negative, not to say vicious, purposes? Do I need any
further justication for stomping them whenever I see them?
