Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon?

Yes.

Erik....🤨....you seem to be in an unusually good mood.  Not that I've any preternatural means of discerning your good/indifferent/bad ones, mind you.  Generally a source of 'even-tempered' advice and 'mho', only seeming 'testy' if some mental dwarf kicked your shins in some fashion.

So...the questions arise:

Did your Lotto #'s hit? (Best reason ever...👍)

An Rx for Zoloft that's working a little too well? (Understood; I'll split it with you....🤪)

An 'alternative' Rx, popular in CA, CO, OR, WA, and others...? (As above...👌)

Or a simple desire to test run Robin Williams' restate of A. Lincoln:

"You can fool some of the people some of the time, and (your 'big' *personal assesment*) the rest off."

(I'll be damned if I let the Mods jerk this post...*growl*)

...good advice from long ago...;)

(....better 'live'...no Bob Fripp synth *poop*...:(...)

• AZERTY. 
• QWERTZ.
• Dvorak, (left or right handed versions).
• Colemak.
• Maltron. 
• JCUKEN.

The 6 major keyboard layouts in use, none of which have 'C' & 'K' next to each other....

Evidence of an Alien keyboard hack....?  Or maybe something more sinister....🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️👀

Just help me out here in responding: are you looking for love or confirmation of self-loathing?

QWERTZ ??

The Z and the Y aren't next to each other either...........

QWERTY

all in good fun...........allingoodfun.

Erik,  Although I took your post as a parody, I'm thinkin' that you have now opened yourself up to being "jerked" on any subsequent thread!
Regards,
barts

You might find yourself in fine company. 
Present company excepted, of course.

If anyone seriously thinks Kenjit and I may be the same poster I am sure you are also an undecided voter.

That split personality theory of mine .. hmm

All of this is kind of like that joke that goes:
Two behaviorists meet at a street corner and one says to the other.
"You're fine, how am I?"

+1 nonoise

And another:  "You only think you're happy."

"Is Erik Kenjit spelled backwards?"

No, that would be mas ratiug.

@barts...Hey, straight from the GoogleMine, the essence of all whizdumb. *L*  And since the 'Z' is nowhere near the 'Y' in any of the keyboard layouts either...your thoughts are justified....

"Just the facts, mam'..."  or Sir...;)  I couldn't rationalize it, either...*shrug*

16khz...anyone entering this fray is subject to abuse...good natured, hopefully...;)  We all be jerks....we've all done 'It'.  How, and in what fashion...?  'Truth or Dare', like the lady said...*snicker*

nonoise...One could also have the 2 misbehaviourists just slap each other and move on....  Perfectly valid of late, I fear....:)  Esp. if one wears a mask, the other not....

dannad....Perfect. 👍👌  In or out of earphones....;)

glupson...oooh Kay....'more guitan' in Spanish with guitar misspelled? 
sdrawkcab doesn't fly...there's a Koran reference that seems 'out'...

...fries my little brain...yet again....*sigh* ;)

Erik, I’d love to be creating the questions for the ’debate’ (sic) tonight.

Just that....;)

No audience...just the cameras, the host, and the candid dates...

Real Reality.

When I read the title of the post in my daily recap email, I expected the author to be millercarbon! lol

asvjerry,

"glupson...oooh Kay....'more guitan' in Spanish with guitar misspelled?"

I am simpler than that. Just  sdrawkcab and, as any name should be, in its original form. No Spanish here.

My Y and Z are very close. In fact, they happen to be on the same key.

We haven't heard from samuelguitarrista in a while.  I can think of so many reasons why, but I prefer to think the mothership finally beamed him back aboard.

"....on the same key."

Mmmm....played in these time signatures?

13/8....5/4....9/8...17/16....6/4....11/4...32/8....7/16....11/8....

As is said...These are Difficult Times....;)

Ah...gitter san of the guitar sam clan...*sigh*

Y'got me. *5's*  So used to the inobvious the obvious escapes me....like youth, hair, teeth, weight, libido, urine, mental mendacity....

...not to mention 'genteel tolerance'...*errr*L*

Erik - I think you are fishing for compliments, maybe insecurity or just plain vanity on your part...?

Technically, my post is a parody.  Everyone who missed the reference is already ahead of the game by not being exposed to the butt of the joke.

En los últimos años la tolerancia gentil iba desapareciendo paulatinamente, y sucumbió por completo en 2016.

La idea que el mundo esta listo de acabar por que el discurco civil se acabo ah venido desde antes de Cristo.

Can't resist to urge to tinker, sorry. (Plus I'm a big fan of the subjunctive.)

La idea que el mundo esté listo para acabar porque el discurso civil se acabó, viene existiendo desde hace antes de Cristo.

Is this a language challenge?

@glupson

Actually I thought it was closer to phenomenology.

Erik

....better results with phrenology, under the circumstances...

Results ought to be just as vague....;)

So....Erik is thinking of ’going South’....well, this forum is a great start....👍

...half way there....😏

How south is South?

your posts and responses are usually informative and non insulting.I alwys enjoy them.Kenjit/kenwit/dimwit-not so much
so i do not believe eriik is kenjit spelled backwards

What's the problem, you Sir ,fit right in here...

Full Moon is coming, maybe a heated discussion about cables....?

If your standards are "very vague"..............how do you know they're "extremely high"?

If this reported self-evaluation is sincere, you sound like an excellent candidate for professional assistance to help you shed any extreme asshattery once and for all (whether real or simply self-perceived).

You'll feel better about it and be a better person for it.

If this reported self-evaluation is sincere,

It is not.

You definitely post for attention and to get a reaction out of people by being controversial and a bit polarizing at times....but I have never seen you be disrespectful or not thoughtful so I wouldn't call you a troll in the classic sense. 
P.S. Class D sucks. hahaha ;-) 

To big a jerk?
Nahhhhhhh....   You're just a mediocre jerk.

Now.. Steve Martin?   NOW!   There's a BIG jerk!  

You definitely post for attention and to get a reaction out of people by being controversial and a bit polarizing at times

I absolutely do, but I do so in part because I care about the environment in A’gon. Having thought provoking discussions about who we are, makers vs. buyers, scientists vs romantics helps keep the discussions from stagnating into advice for flea markets.

And I'm also following my own advice here:  If you want A'gon to be different, BE different.  Be the change you want to see.  If you want to see more vinyl discussions, start them.  Don't sit around and wait for posts you don't like to act.

   How can someone living in The Bay , with unlimited opportunity for activities , spend so much time trolling ? Go out and troll for Salmon. Ride your bicycle up Hawk Hill . Stroll beautiful Golden Gate Park , walk the beaches . Visit the DeYoung . Enjoy some gritty clubs in the Hait !    I live 3 hours away in Clovis , and I’d never be inside beating on the keyboard ! I enjoy Snarky as much as the next guy , come live in the cultural void of California ( Fresno ) , then you can rightfully complain. P S , send me some clean air ! Regards , Mike .

Well that's one giant non-sequitor @buellrider97
Shouldn't you be on twitter harassing reporters??

Donald, is that you?

I LOVE the title of this topic.

But to try to answer the question is hopeless. Erik, only the man in the mirror can answer this...

AMEN. Keep up the great work! You are the best thread starter on the Agon and you help keep everyone honest. 

Admitting to being a science ignoramus qualifies you.

twoch,

Last I checked, Harris was not a candidate for president.
