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

Let me explain. I have extremely high and very vague standards. I look down on everything, and I mean everything, never talking about specifics or my own point of reference. I’ve looked down not just on people and equipment but science and facts as well. They are far far beneath me.  It is all too much for me to explain, but I am sure you are all doing it wrong.  WRONG, with a bold, underlined and hooker-script WRONG font used here.

I start these crazy troll posts which are incredibly successful in nabbing a lot of the regulars in audiogon.

I should be very happy with myself, but sometimes I have to wonder if my level of jerk is too much for all of you too handle. I’m trying to blaze a path, but are you with me audiofools or not???

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.

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 ;-)

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.


Best,
E
