Lavorgna's trolling worked perfectly, plain and simple.  He wasn't here to discuss computer audio.

 

 How many members participating in this thread are here to discuss Computer Audio ?

 It appears that some come here simply to attack Audiophiles in general,

 and they contribute very little (if any) in the way of advice to further improve Computer Audio.

 No, I am not referring to mansr, Dennis, or Bill either, who often help out or advise other members with particular problems..

Mind you, this website is an *audiophile* website. So it is a little strange that they participate here unless for the prime objective.

 

Because very few other Audio forums will permit this kind of behaviour.

They have no interest in anything Audiophile, so it would appear that they have come here purely to be disruptive and get their "jollies."

I wonder if Admin permits this, because it is likely to increase traffic statistics ?

 I wonder how many of them are also members of Hydrogen Audio ?

Longer term members may recall that Hydrogen Audio had members join Audiophile forums for this specific purpose some ago,  but they got found out.

Heard that tale before Alex.  That dog didn't hunt then and it doesn't hunt now.  

 It's not a tale

. It actually happened. I can't presently recall the name of the senior Hydrogen Audio member that organised it.

Perhaps Bill or some other longer term member may remember his name ?

Perhaps you have Alzheimers setting in Dennis ?

You were around at the time too, IIRC.

I remember a later time since then when about 4 regular HA posters started posting here for a short time.  I don't remember any conspiracy being found out.  Maybe Bill can fill us in.  

 

 Dennis

 Bill confirmed that several posts back.

You and I have developed a far better understanding of where each is coming from these days.

I believe that we are both searching for the truth, but in different ways .

What's up? Hadn't seen you in a while!

 

 When the family moved about 110KM north of Sydney, we didn't expect problems connecting to the Internet, as the 2 houses behind us were both connected via FTN to the National Broadband Network.

 Unfortunately,  an NBN Infrastructure upgrade that was due to happen in March only happened recently.

We didn't have any Internet for 9 months.

Hi Roch

A language problem here. I have corrected it for you.

Kind Regards

Two assumptions: That Roch is male, and that Roch's spouse was female. 

 

They are not assumptions.

When I read it, I assumed it was correct, and chastised myself a little bit for having not paid closer attention and for previously assuming by default he was in a heterosexual relationship when he made amusing comments.

 

I take what he wrote at face value, and would be afraid to assume he made a mistake.  I have no idea which is true, but maybe you do.  I find making assumptions about people leads to all kinds of problems.

 

Roch  is a good online friend of mine, and a typical D.O.M. who loves women , especially the more curvaceous women from Costa Rica and South America.

What I was trying to object to, with the audiophile Taliban reference, is the refrain we seem to hear fairly often that someone should be banned from the forum, simply because their audiophile status is insufficiently zealous and pure. I was equating it to their religious police ideology.

 

Nobody should be banned from this forum for having vastly different viewpoints, as long as they are civil to each other.

 Chris really had no choice but to ban Michael for his abuse of the PM system.

Provocation is not a good enough excuse to justify what to most members was completely unacceptable language.

If he had simply told him to get F....d that would have probably been a different matter.

Maybe Alex (SandyK) knows more about my life than I do 

HI Roch

 Our email exchanges show that you are what we in Au. refer to as a D.O.M. which applies to a high percentage of heterosexual adult males, just like myself and many of my male friends.

In other words, you are quite normal.

 I may have a higher sex drive than you though ?

 The problem for me is that it needs to be lowered to somewhere where it can do some good !

Kind Regards

Here is my concept of D.O.M.: A old man who hits on young women of barely legal age or genarations younger than himself.

 

 Were you jealous of Hugh Hefner ?

 This seems to apply to many men of immense wealth or power..

I was reading somewhere that Hugh Hefner lost most of his hearing due to excessive use of Viagra. Just letting you know...

 

 Did you find that out when researching your own loss of hearing problem ?

Who believes most of that stuff anyway ? Perhaps a few more celebrities need to do what Rebel Wilson did recently ?i

You mean sueing for defamation or joining Jenny Craig?

 

 

 Both !

The fact that he personally emailed me and threatened to cancel my account removed any remaining doubt I had about him, Audiostream, and the audiophile pundit/publication area as a whole.

Unfortunately, I am afraid you committed the same (I call it a) mistake that I have seen over and over again- that is, the belief that you can question someone's professional integrity and not expect a response (the quote you put in above).  It must be a blind spot to many, or I must be crazy (no need to affirm, Cogley  ).

 

It continues to mystify me.

 

And this is NOT to say that I would even like ML or become a friend; simply that any man has a right to defend his integrity from attack.  Don't you see that your quote demeaned his life's work?  And you want him to publish it?

 

 I agree.

BTW, is that you ML, with a new account pretending to be a "Bill Brown"?

 

Michael Lavorgna is a C.A. member and doesn't need to stealthily register as a new member.

Talk about drawing the wrong conclusions !

 

No, I am not a M.L. fanboi either.

 

BTW, did you seek his approval before posting the copy of his personal email to you ? 

[sandyk]

1 minute ago, skikirkwood said:

 

ML was banned on CA for PM'ing someone a message to "Go f*** your mother".  Did I miss something, has he been reinstated?

 

 I am not surprised that he finally snapped under the withering attacks about his personal integrity by people like yourself !

Everybody has a breaking point.

In fact, I fail to see the point of 27 pages of this thread, when most of it has been said already in the first couple of pages.

And when some audiophile pundit starts lecturing me about the virtue of expensive USB and Ethernet cables I mention how I missed the point they are making when I studied computer science at Stanford.  Usually shuts people up - but not everyone.

 Unlike some of you, I don't do drugs or drink alcohol to excess, or falsely accuse other members of LYING about the contents of exchanged PMs.

careful there sandman - I never accused you of lying nor have I made any false accusations - I did suggest to someone in private that you might be having some other issues that are non-volitional 

 

You did publicly accuse me of lying at least twice, in replies about the content of material that I sent to you about the series of DBTs performed by Martin Colloms.

I also stated in a couple of replies at the time that I would be quite happy for Admin to look at the content of the PMs that I sent to you.

I would suggest that you refrain from suggesting that members that you don't agree with, are either delusional,  doing drugs , or are "under the affluence of incahol !"

 

Perhaps this thread has also degenerated into another one that has well and truly passed it's use-by date ?

WRONG - post them or stop blathering about it

 

I can also post the pms you sent me 

  

Your posts are on record. 

I would prefer not to take this matter further, but I am not prepared to continually cop these kinds of insinuations about being on drugs etc. etc. from members like yourself.

I will stop "blathering about it" when you refrain from making comments like the previous.

Looks like it'll be officially legal countrywide come summer.

 

Sounds like a WIN, WIN, scenario for the Government, as they will be able to slap a Sales Tax on it, and get a nice spike in revenue from failed Highway Patrol drug tests as well !

 Your Highway Patrol cars ARE equipped to do this ?

 In Australia, especially in NSW, Highway Patrol and other Police cars can not only do roadside blood alcohol tests, but Drug tests too, which can result in immediate suspension or loss of the Driver's Licence, and a substantial fine, as well as Demerit Points which if enough are accrued will also result in the loss of the driver's licence.

I was referring to a specific set of PMs from Alex containing snippets of emails from The Colloms and others. The ones he keeps accusing everybody of misquoting.

 

Let's see if your smug attitude changes a bit if Mani is able to prove that he hears things that many of you claim is simply not possible, just like your claim that USB  Regens etc. can't do what MANY members report either!

[sandyk]

And if Mani is shown not to hear these things?

What then?

 

 Mani's reports are quite different to mine , so it will not change the validity of ANY of my previously confirmed reports. Neither will Archimago not hearing any differences with the CD comparison tracks either, as I have Zero expectation that he will, and only arranged for him to receive them after shit stirring by Mansr about " magic CDs" that nobody has heard. 

I would also remind you that on a couple of occasions YOU thought you heard differences between comparison tracks that I uploaded, but was unable to repeat this again, which is no surprise given your entrenched views in this area, your brain was highly unlikely to let you hear the differences again.

 I will be heading down to Sydney shortly to see my GP etc. so will not be further replying for at least 5 hours
