Why do I frighten you guys on rec.audio.pro so badly?
You certainly don't. It's just annoying. Your choise of language too.
Others are so right; threads like this is what kills usenet.
Not at all. When correctly handled, threads like this *challenge to an
amp design contest* build newsgroups by strengthening readers' faith
in the professional abilities of participants.
Clowns like you wreck newsgroups by wittering on about personalities
rather than principles.
I made a design challenge. The only post about the design challenge in
this thread, now two dozen messages strong, came from John Byrns of
RAT, smacking his chops at the prospect of a juicy technical thread,
wondering if I hadn't made it too easy for you guys.
All the rest, over twenty messages including yours, simply abuse me.
Seems you're incabable of seeing it yourself, so here's the cardboard
cutout:
Sure. Neddy explanations are always welcome and I'm not too proud to
accept them from an expert. So let's see if you know what you're
talking about
:
It starts with what looks like a serious discussion, then arguments
fail, but the discussion is kept going because people like you won't
give in and stand corrected. Pride or stupidity.. it's a Bit blurred..
First of all, the arguments that failed in the recent threads belonged
to Poopie Stevenson, Slapdash Krueger, and Bluster Pearce. My
arguments forced Poopie Stevenson to make public retraction again and
again. So how can you say "people like you won't give in and stand
corrected". I won the argument long since, I do not "stand corrected",
there is nothing for me to "give in" about. Instead, Poopie Stevenson
(and now you) whine on and on about it.
Then some rude Dutch fellow claims that I lost the argument because
the plug can be pulled on the amp and then all bets are off. Gee,
****, that's a kindergarten sophistry, not a "professional" argument.
So, keeping it professional, I challenged him to show me a circuit in
which a Class A amp keeps conducting "under any signal condition".
The Dutch clown hasn't been heard from since. None of you so-called
professionals have stepped up to take up the challenge in his place.
Instead you abuse me for showing up your champion as a fool and a
jerk.
The problem is that we check out the discussion, decide to leave it, but
it keeps popping up, so we check again to see if there's useful info.
So, it becomes a time waster.
Learn to use a killfile. Surely, if you claim to be an engineering
professional, a menu choice of whose posts to ignore should not be
beyond you.
Your choise of language makes people resent you, but instead of
adjusting and writing only where you (may) have knowledge, people like
you keeps on and on and on... Where's the good contacts? Gone..
First of all, a professional engineer would spell "choice" with a "c",
not "choise" as you have it.
Secondly, why should I care **** if inferior people like Poopie,
Slapdash and Bluster, and now you Mogens Five, resent me? On this
evidence you clearly don't know anything I want to know and you're
more interested in fighting a flame war in which, equally clearly, I
shall wipe you, than in disccussing technical matters of interest to
me.
Sorry for my mistake in thinking that recreational audio professionals
(rec.audio.pro) are interested in noise reduction!
Thirdly, I do actually "have knowledge" on this subject. That is why
the entire tier of stars on my own homebase, RAT, supported me on
this, and why Poopie Stevenson was forced to retract his erroneous
statement.
Finally -- just how many stupidities can even you get into one short
paragraph? -- I don't "keep on an on"; you have written to and about
me and I answer you. What you want is for me to back away and let your
grossly inaccurate and offensive witterings stand without challenge. I
don't think so.
I write from RAP, where quite a nof discussions keeps going because
people don't agree - but they have knowledge, and at some point agree on
parts and leave be the rest, reflect, study, test/measure et al.., and
maybe come back to renew the discussion. It's called Mature Behaviour.
Then why don't you practice Mature Behaviour instead of provoking me
with a personal attack: "people like you" when I've never been on your
quite clearly wretched newsgroup before? If you blame me for all the
ills of a sick newsgroup, don't I have a right to respond? You should
have thought of that before you hit the keyboard, shouldn't you,
Five?
It's already been suggested taking this discussion to some pure opinion
group, so please do.
How is a principle of physics a matter of "pure opinion"? Perhaps you
should read the threads you object to, or just the orignal text of the
challenge, before you start whining about it.
--
Kind regards,
Nothing kind about a personal attack.

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity,
and I'm not sure about the former"
-- Albert Einstein.
What stands is that I challenged a member of RAP to prove a statement
he made repeatedly by designing an amp that would operate as specified
under the parameters he claims are valid. In return we have seen zero
technical points and about twenty abusive messages.
Hardly "professional".
