Why the truth is not in them ??


I wonder how many people have been told something by a buyer, that was no where near the truth....I hate to think how many times I  have been told that I will send a Pay-Pal tomorrow, or I'll send you a check tonight....and never do anything of the kind.....I've been waiting for two weeks for a check from a guy in Michigan  , I have sold a item 13 times on another web-site based on what a person has told me and never received the first penny..........Does anyone tell the truth anymore ??   I have one web-site that I do business on that has a 98% negative truth rate.....Isn't that a poor way to deal with people ??     What are your experience ??

mahgister, it helps to keep in mind a lot of the criticism is coming from people with a tenuous connection with reality... two guys make stuff up about it, attack me personally, and one even ignores actual ad hominems directed at me and accuses me of being the one resorting to ad hominems. Unreal.....

If that’s how ill-equipped they are to understand clear concise prose imagine how they must struggle with your ideas. .... But to get complex and hard to express ideas it helps to be capable of having ideas and thinking about things. This rules them out....

Most of what we’re doing is frankly beyond them. Might be literally truly beyond them, as in no matter what they never will get it. Or might be beyond them merely by virtue of being too physically or mentally lazy to get up off the comfortable couch and try. Either way they’re not getting it.

.....To do what we do takes imagination, creativity, intelligence, and perseverance. It takes initiative. Qualities they lack.....Talk is all they have. ..... But who knows, trashing others may be the one thing that gives their lives meaning.

Someone better be careful about that "false witness" thing. That’s a lot of trash talking!

Whatever happened to taking the high road?




millercarbon i consider all people here, particularly those partaking others opinions friends, i must confess that i like to argue, but i try the best i can no to be too sarcastic, too personal, or not so friendly...

I confess also being more sensible than some, and a bit too much reactive or impetuous...  :)

’Whatever happened to taking the high road?’


Whilst the ancient Greeks were taking the high road, the Romans took the short cuts - and we know what happened.

Still, it’s not entirely clear just who the eventual long term winners were.

Audiophiles I’m guessing, are likely to be more Greek than Roman.
Maybe but the Romans didn’t turn out so well in the end either. Nor the barbarians.

The book is still open for us all these days but its not looking good in many parts from a ten commandments perspective.....we’ll see!
P.S.: coveting your neighbor’s hifi is right out!!!
Even in my heavenly state actual audio room system, i covet some other system....

i am a sinner, a fool, and a..... I am without words.....

Even if my system is perfect for me now, after these 2 years experiments, i dream about the Berning zotl amplifier of my neighbour...

I think this hobby is sometimes frustrating even for those who are happy....They are not enough happy...
I remember the first bottle of wine i drink, i tought i will be happier with a second one.... :)
