Holy crap batman I'm a noob...

Somebody did.

Curiously, you place them randomly in the middle of sentences.

HOW long will I BE TREATED LIKE a second class citizen around here?

As for me, my comments target the maturity level of the posts.

HERES A QUESTION that is not rediculous.
HOW long will I BE TREATED LIKE a second class citizen around here?
Just curious.
Not that I mind the abuse, being treated like dirt by stuck ups like yourself
just tends to make me post more

The short answer is, when you stop acting like one.

There is such things as being polite, acting with integrity, etiquette, and for someone your age, the ability to write complete coherent sentences without CAPS LOCK.

I realize now that you think your funny. You seem to have a need of belittling people with your off the cuff posts. I'm guessing you are about 5'4" and have what I call "Little Man Syndrome". Always trying to look better (bigger) by putting others down.

If your memory is a good as your insults, you may remember one of your first replies to one of my posts. Instead of offering any real help, you insulted me and called me cheap (in your words) because I still have and use VHS machines.

The point I think that is trying to be made by several here is very simple.

1- Answer the OP with a useful response without insults, joke or otherwise.
2- Drop your YECH wannabe caps lock habit.
3- Try to act with some integrity, you mentioned your in your 50s, not your 20s.
4- Attempt to use the built in spell checker

In other words post the same dry, colorless pap that has made this site such a
desert wasteland.
And I dont remember the post you are talking about (I HAVE A LIFE), but its
funny how I keep getting slammed for a lack of quality in my gear by those who still
use VCR's
If you're still using a 240 line vcr for anything other than a doorstop you are inviting
insults.
I converted all of my SVHS over to DVD with a DVD recorder a long time ago,
and never looked back.
As for integrity, what has that to do with anything?
DO YOU SERIOUSLY think that I care enough about anybody on this site(especially you)
to lie about something?
Have a pretty high opinion of yourself.
Heres a clue , ace, concentrate on improving your own prattle and quit preaching in
such a high and mighty tone to to everybody else.
In other words check out the post above that you made.
If thats not the post of some stuck up snotnose than I have never seen one.
I may have my faults, but looking down my nose at others is not one of them.
In other words you put your pants on one leg at a time like everybody else.
And the fact that you have no sense of humour whatsoever doesnt mean I have to scuttle mine.

I'm tempted to comment on what pixelthis has said, but I wonder if he is actually enjoying being the centre of attention a little too much. Euchreb has been appreciative of the input and deserves more of our time.

[euchreb]

Its alright everyone. Disagreements will happen Im not offended. I have actually taken your advice to heart and am looking for speakers at this time. I did post another thread though that you all may be able to help me with. While looking for speakers I found a B&K 307 receiver for $600.00. Should I get this and then continue to look for speakers? It looks like a hell of a deal and someone had suggested a new receiverwith the speaker. Anyone know anything about this receiver all the reviews I have read love it but I am starting to trust the opinions on this website more then the reviews. Thanks for your time.

[Hyfi]

First of all, my apologies to the original poster that your thread got hi jacked. It's not the norm, but neither is it the norm to take jabs at others manhood or marriage in a first response to a new poster. Obviously there are lots of people who have been around and do joke with each other but that's a bit different.

Now my responses to Pix....

In other words post the same dry, colorless pap that has made this site such a desert wasteland.

This whole set of forums became a desert when they switched to v_bulletin, people like you help to make them worse.

And I dont remember the post you are talking about (I HAVE A LIFE), but its funny how I keep getting slammed for a lack of quality in my gear by those who still use VCR's If you're still using a 240 line vcr for anything other than a doorstop you are inviting insults.

Why do you feel the need to insult someone for using a VHS? Is it any of your business? Did you offer me any useful help in the response from the below noted link? Not really, but you told me I may be interested in new inventions like a CELL FONE, but I do believe the word should have been PHONE, but maybe you don't know the difference.

Since you forget who you insult and when, because you do it so often, here is a link to the thread I mentioned.
My Sony VHS does not go past 2008

Also, I don't believe I ever trashed any of your gear on these boards.

I converted all of my SVHS over to DVD with a DVD recorder a long time ago, and never looked back.

Good for you! Who cares? I don't have a collection that needs converting. I record and watch 2 tv shows a week and a working VHS machine is all that is needed to do so.

As for integrity, what has that to do with anything?
DO YOU SERIOUSLY think that I care enough about anybody on this site(especially you)to lie about something?

We all know that you don't care about anyone but yourself, you did say you were single right.....no wonder.

Secondly, maybe you need a refresher as to the definition of "integrity"

English Vocabulary and Idioms Forum discuss the word integrity
Definition of integrity (noun)
form plural: no plural
honesty; uprightness; morality; wholeness; unity

Third, nobody accused you of lying that I saw.

Have a pretty high opinion of yourself.

Just like you, I can post anyway I like within the guidelines. I don't start off my posts by insulting people. I don't try to make others with lesser equipment feel inadequate. The post above was a simple answer to your stupid question. You know exactly why people take jabs at you but since you posses none of the qualities I listed there, you just don't get it.

I may have my faults, but looking down my nose at others is not one of them.

No criticizing others and their gear is more your style.

In other words you put your pants on one leg at a time like everybody else.
And the fact that you have no sense of humour whatsoever doesnt mean I have to scuttle mine.

I have a sense of humor. I also know when it's appropriate to use it. Answering a first time poster with wise ass crap is not very helpful and I see it from you time after time.

So here is what I propose to you, Pix, keep your so called humor to yourself, or share it with those who consider you a friend (not 1st time posters), answer peoples questions with useful responses and without adding insults, and I will stay out of your threads.

And heres a helpfull little hint for you.
MIND YOUR OWN DARN BUSINESS.
I guess that jab about "having a pair" hit a little close to home, em?
Or maybe you're a woman(not a streach) who is going further in the attempt to castrate
the AMERICAN male.
As for trashing my gear, feel free.
I WILL never understand people who are so emotionally insecure that they get their feelings hurt by someone "trashing" their gear(which I don't do very often, just check).
THINK YOU HAVE THE PERFECT SETUP?
Well, congrats, you are the first in audiophile history to have such a thing.
Not to mention that people have different priorities, comparing gear is like apples
and oranges.
Real sorry but I DONT have a thin skin, and nobody on this site has ever given one whit about my feelings.
I will try to tone it down in the future for shrinking violets such as yourself.
But you will have to look out for the "jokes".
I dont concern myself with people with no sense of humour whatsoever.

I respond kind in kind.
Dont want a punch, dont start a fight.

[paulspencer]

euchreb,
You have a good outlook on this. My suggestion is if your budget is $1500 total, spend it all on speakers or get the receiver if it's a good deal, keep the rest of the budget, add to it later and spend more on the speakers. I wouldn't share that money between the two, unless you're getting into DIY! In that case, about half your budget could build a $5k equivalent, which you might buy second hand for $2.5k.

hyfi,
This reminds me of a little saying. Internet arguments are like wrestling with a pig in the mud - after doing it for hours, you realise the pig likes it!

[blackraven]

I agree, dump the money to new speakers. Here's a suggestion for a HT set up-

Front speakers- T55
Rear speakers- B15's
Center speaks- C60

Well you have spent plenty of time concerned with my responses even though I have no sense of humor.

I have never trashed your gear, nor do I compare mine to what others have. The only thing on your list I ever heard of is Vizio, which they sell at my local Sams Clubs and K-Marts High End Departments.

Perfect setup? Ha, far from it. Actually, because I am so cheap, my main setup I am using right now only cost me $700 and is close to 20 years old, resurrected from a heap in someones garage.

What posts can you point to where I brag about how great compared to everyone else setup my gear is? Why do you even keep bringing it up in each response instead of addressing the points I make? Oh never mind, you have too much of a life to write a clear response, without caps locks or spelling corrections even when it's underlined in red.

For the record, my feelings did not get hurt because you insulted me for still owning and using a VCR, I just lost respect for you and your holier than all opinions. And again, I have never commented on your gear, yet you have now repeatedly brought up my setup leading me to believe you may be feeling a little jealous for some reason.

Oh yeah, I am just another female that wouldn't waste the time of day on someone like yourself. Single for good reasons huh?. Sounds like you have some deep seeded issues around women, and partnership. Oh poor me, women are always trying to castrate me!

And for someone who has a life, you seem to have plenty of time searching for childish GIFs.

I'm through wasting any more time with you and it's not fair to the rest of the people posting here. Enjoy your pathetic lonely life.

Thats great, since your comments were unsolicited and unwanted anyway.
And the chap I made the comments to wasnt bothered, so why should you be?
Heres a clue, guys are always kidding each other about the wife running things.
Its an inside joke for guys, and its generally understood its not serious.
You took it out of context and stuck your nose in.
Maybe next time you will mind your own business.
I am sure that women have things that a guy would never understand, either.
