    Your jokes read too much like insults. You insult people left and right with no indication of sarcasm. And your perceived angry disposition reinforces that fact.

    You don't know anything about my company sir. Again, if your real personality is anything like the one you portray here, you'd never get a foot in the door. TI prides itself on its high ethical standards.

    Really? You work for a security firm correct? We contract with Allied Barton; I see many of their employees during the day, Why is that, and does it work that way with your company as well?

    This is again, just another way that you show your ignorance. I'm glad you don't know how many products TI has chips in, as long as you spout comments like this one off, you prove your ignorance to everyone reading your responses. From what you've just taught me with this attempt to psychoanalyze me, you ARE the lowest common denominator of society. By the way, Rockwell is no longer part of Texas Instruments so I don't know where you get this government contractor bit. We do still own Burr Brown though.

    Do you think that by turning on caps that this helps you convince people that you really know what you're talking about? Insult my company as much as you wish sir, you mean nothing to us.

    Stuck in another decade? Wrong thread. I haven't been to a Hooters resturant recently, but I think they still exist here in the 21st century, and they still hire young black, white, hispanic, indian, asain, oriental females. I talk about firebirds because I own one. And I think I talk about it in the correct context. (Just guessing that's what you're talking about).

    You don't know me sir, you know only a stage presence. Although I will admit that in this community as well as the real world, I try to have a positive influence on the lives of all I touch. My sense of humor is how I accomplish that goal. You on the other hand do nothing more than belittle anyone who looks cross eyed at you, just like a spoiled little two year old. Remember what I said earlier, I owe you nothing, so if you don't like what I write (and don't try to rise above your well entrenched reputation here by telling me you like me.. you like no one), stay away from me. Get your own house in order before you try to analyze someone elses.

Where do you get the idea that my 401K plan is going to tank? See? This is just another example of how ignorant you are. Prove to me that my plan is going to be crud (yes, that's crud with a C) when I retire. Are you telling me that you know how I invest in my 401K plan? Are you telling me that you know how my plan is even set up?

    Reading this post is somewhat distasteful.

    Sort of like the Pixel/PS "debate" over who did/didn't do something.

    Rich, you are cool, and I enjoy your posts. Pixel, not so much.

    Be careful you don't dirty yourself too much Rich, sometimes its best to leave ignorant fools to themselves.

    Now, GM did you bring any popcorn, or are you gonna hog it like you do the ladies?

    FA, this is not a place for a lady.

    GB, is making sense Rich. Pix is an inbred mental midget. No matter how much proof you show him he is wrong he does not change his mind and he can't show one shred of evidence to back his warped opinion and statements. I don't know what happened to PS but he was right when he tagged Pix a troll.

    now that's a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black.

    I think PS was shown the door when it turned out he was a reincarnation of a known plagerist and a serial troll who has posted here under several monikers over the past few years. ...but several members are familiar with his modus operandi (sp?) and syntax.

    Then it's only a matter of time before he's shown the door ...again. he's easily identified.

    Melvin Walker is a "newbie" who comes to us after being cryogenically frozen since 1962. Even though he's only participated in only three threads, he's made quite an impression on all of us.

    Here they are. Get some coffee before starting in here.

    this is his first apperance where he makes a totally inane and rambling "proclimation" as to how far OP's speakers should be placed. It gets really good when people ask him how he arrived at this figure: http://forums.audioreview.com/general-audio/please-help-25434.html

    He does like to talk about cars, shoes, watches and suits. bur complains when anyone else deviated from the subject of audio.

    He throws in some intersting stuff, but it's all boiler-plate to avoid answering any questions as you will soon see. Also, it's all available on the internet if you know the right sources. some of us do.

    In this, his second post, he really lets on that he's got no use for anything that happened since 1960 or so: http://forums.audioreview.com/general-audio/what-like-25460.html

    In his third and, hopefully, final post, his true feelings come into the open. He lost hope in audio once it became available to the great unwashed. I think this is where he compares James Taylor to Nazis: http://forums.audioreview.com/general-audio/has-changes-popular-music-has-effect-how-we-buy-audio-equipment-today-25660.html

    By now, he's managed to insult almost everyone on the site in one way or another.

    Is he gone? Who knows?

    Really? P-Skies was a troll? I know that he had some strange opinions sometimes and he could be mildly offensive, but I didn't think that he was that bad.

    I don't think he was that bad either.... from what I remember, he was mainly just in love with PSB speakers and products that are great value for money.... Yeah he was a tad aggressive in his defense of his views but I could respect his opinions (I think)...

    Was he a Troll because he used several monikers or because he made offensive posts? Is switching monikers wrong? I've done it 3 (sort of 4) times in the 8 years I've been on and off this site....

    How do some of you know about the events with PS and not others of us? I found this quite enlightening as I fell into the camp that thought he crossed the line some but not nearly as irritating as Pix. I don't mind Pix or anyone having opposing views but when you are plain wrong, and it's been proven beyond a doubt you are wrong yet you stick to your incorrect view, then you have a serious issue. That attitude voids the purpose of being here. I've been wrong on things before and admit I usually require proof before I will change my mind, after all I'm in the "Show Me" state, but when shown I'm wrong I change my view. I remember a couple years ago being in a debate on rear surround speakers, I followed what I saw in high end stores and had been told, that the rears should point at the listening position. This I believe is becoming more accepted. At the time though Dolby's website sure enough showed diagrams backing the other guys position that the rears should fire at one another, even in a DD set up, so I had no choice but to fall in line. It was humbling because the person was a lot younger than me. I played around with my owned speakers and I actually left them firing at each other because it did seem to be the best sound effect. I recently switched them back to pointing at my listening seat for a while. Any way, let's not digress.

    First I'll admit that I haven't had any negative interaction with Pixel (that I can remember anyway).... but I'm not sure whether being irritating and obstinate is really that big of a deal... I don't think there is anyone more irritating and obstinate on this site than SpankingVanillaIce but most people just laugh off his comments and move on....

    Now if the arguement is that Pixel is rude (which Spanky definitely is not) then I would argue that there are many rude posters on this site as well.... I haven't peeked into the cables forum in 8 years because of the type of flame wars that used to inhabit those threads... then the format wars (SACD v DVD-A were pretty heated) and now this Blu Ray HD-DVD stuff is pretty heated and seems to be where most of the fights with Pixel are coming from...

    Ajani, I have issues with pixelthis. Maybe you and others haven't been paying attention, but I'm sick a tired of being dogged by him, and I'm sick and tired of the constant insults he hurls at my employer. I didn't start this thread because I wanted anyone's opinion of him. Again, to everyone here who's filling this thread up with discussion, please start a new one.
