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

Transparently referring to someone else. And a thread very close to this one (at least it was close when I read them both), was started by the individual in question.

Wow, I guess I'm getting too old. I didn't see any political inferences in Erik's post, and for the record Erik, I like your posts!  

i don’t really care for you as you come across some one who thinks they know everything that there is to know.......

I'm nothing if not appreciative of my anti-fans.  They seem to remember more about what I post here than anyone else, including myself.  :D

Erik, I really think you are a very knowledgeable and a decent human being. What I find with you and myself included is that you get really testy when someone doesn’t appreciate your point of view. Case in point, I hate all Class D amplifiers and nothing will ever change my mind. Every time you posted about Class D and I disagreed, you went off on me in a bad way, even suggesting I never listened to the amp you were talking about when in fact I had. You are big on DYI audio and you seem to expect everyone to embrace it. You fail to realize that there a lot of us older guys who aren’t into that, can’t solder well (me) and would probably screw up a good piece of equipment by modding, etc.

In all honesty, I admire the person who can do that and pull it off, I am just not one of them. I have been teaching myself to not answer any posts that I know will go south fast and lead to bickering. You certainly do not irritate and infuriate me like millercarbon who thinks he is the end all of audiophiles and that he knows best about everything. He always seem to insinuate a political right wing agenda and never gets his posts removed yet I try to rebut him and I get my posts removed and still to this day do not know why.

Your post was very thought provoking and I hope you will stay. Your vast knowledge of circuits and such is a treasure trove and needed here, I say this to George as well. This has been a terrible year for all of us and it is natural to get under one another’s skin, we all just need to be more understanding.
