Almost killed by Bose Lovers

[Resident Loser]

...have handled yourself quite reasonably but, judging by some of the subsequent posts, one question "Anyone but me see the irony in all this?"...

Particularly lines like this:

"I can't STAND people that don't know what they don't know. Ignorance is just something I can't tolerate, especially pompous morons like these cretins. Great job on setting them straight."

Even if the first line made any sense at all(which it doesn't IMO)...it's certainly reassuring that there are those walking among us mere mortals who have all the answers...I wonder what level of particular expertise is above "pompous moron cretin" is it "Ultra-pompous"?

I never cease to be amazed by the sheer audacity of some people.

I don't buy anything that is advertised in the pages of Delta Airline's in-flight magazines.

But even if Bose was among the best sounding speakers on the planet, these folks had some nerve telling you what you should ask for in a car.

As for what's better than Bose? I personally own 6 sets of speakers from various manufacturers that I prefer to Bose. My Allison 4's, Platinum Audio Studio 3's, Ohm Walsh 4's, F's and 2's.

Sad part is they probably have never heard of any of these. I suppose if you walk into Sears and listen to a Bose system compared to a Panasonic or Sony HTIB system, you're gonna think quite highly of Bose. I saw this happen not too long ago and it took every ounce of restraint NOT to butt into the conversation and advise the couple of some "alternative solutions".

Bose may be all about marketing or lifestyle or whatever, but I can't really blame them for wanting to make a buck.

I don't have anything against Bose, just some of the people that buy them.

Oh, no! I first saw my new watch in the Skymall catalog on a NorthWest Airlines flight. (I found it for $20 less at Wal-Mart.) Can I still hang out here - I don't own Bose?

Sorry, I couldn't leave the coincedence alone.

[piece-it pete]

dean, well since you don't own bose.....

Chef, I mean Worf, I take my time with cars too. Have you considered the Jag XJ? I did too, till the salesman made me leave, he said the drool was messing up the finish.

I probably could have bought one wheel - maybe.

I understand about the Honda and killing yourself lol. Although my bro-in-law bought a Pilot and loves it, and I must admit it looks good - a Honda! - shudder.

Have you eyeballed the new Chrysler 300c?

Of course I see the irony of it, intolerance can cut both ways. And I'd be just as bad as they were had I imposed my opinion on them but I did not. They butted into my conversation, not the other way around. They took it on themselves to educate me, assuming I needed educating on the subject. I know I don't know everything about audio, or even everthing about Bose but I do know what I like and what I'm willing to spend money on so.... that's why I said what I said. I was banned from CompUSA for a time because I told other customers the truth about certain computer systems and what they would cost elsewhere. From that experience and others I learned one thing...

"You don't have to go lookin' for trouble.. sit still long enough and it'll find you...."

That's why you're so lucky RL that you ran into me. I know the answer before you even ask the question. What's tough is convincing some people who just don't want to hear the right answer. Sometimes I feel I need a jackhammer just to get through the thick stone wall. Why bother to ask a question if you already know the answer or have your mind made up?
