Do we believe in Machina Dynamics?

And is the Detroit Lion fan comment anything but ad hominem?

Norm:

Go back to bed. No one is talking to you.

If you can't fall back asleep, re-read your rich history of posting on this and other sites: you are the absolute last person who should be criticizing others for personal attacks. You have mastered that tactic -- perhaps not surprisingly, given your inability to defend your positions with rationale thought.

Jeffrey, sorry I hit a nerve by pointing out your typical meaningless posts. By the way a rationale is a liturgical vestment worn by clergy, in particular by Bishops, in the Roman Catholic Church which uses full vestments. wikipedia Perhaps you do view yourself as a bishop, although others know you are incapable of anything more than mocking others. You make unfounded statements with no backing. Grow up!

Is there anybody on the thread that doesn’t think Norm is a total ass?

Dude, go rent a date or something ...

Is there anyone here that doesn't believe that Tooly is totally ignorant and trying to persuade people that they should not just let their ears decide for them? I just want to know who appointed Tooly, Audiofool, and Jeffrey to police their interests in improving their audio?

Wow, as many times as it may have been used on this forum in the past, the term "beat to death" is a gross understatement regarding this topic and the endlessly circular nature of the related posts... tune in tomorrow to see who had..."The Last Word" in syndication here at Audiogon...

For those attacking: The constant chat fuss would seem only to serve continued interest and "buzz" in the very products you think are junk. Ignoring products that _depend_ on internet buzz and cotroversy to sell would seem a more effective tack. My guess is that B&M, HT and custom-install sales of these products aren't exactly booming. Ever wonder why thread after thread on the topic keeps appearing on a site that is likely the sole generator of sales for those products? I know what Arsenio would say... :-)

Norm, getting into endless ad-homien exchanges does not serve anyones interests in the long run. It's not like your point becomes more clear after 50 posts and arguments than it was after your initial posted opinion. This looks just like the H-Cat thread where well enough couldn't be left alone. Lots of time and band-width wasted restating the same thing and arguing with anything that didn't move in your direction. Looks a little missionary-like to the uninformed.

It looks like everybody made their point like thrty posts ago. I've seen more insightful and entertaining scrums over leggos at the local daycare.

back to your regularly scheduled ephitets... 80)
