Quoting......

[brettw22]

Ok.....here's my beef.....

When you want to quote someone, there's no need to paste every single word that they typed when you're responding to a specific point. Cut out the part you're responding to and leave it at that.

I only mention this because it's something that I'm seeing a LOT lately.............oh.....and cuz it bugs the hell outta me. HA.

Enjoy.........

It rains every damn day here and I'm mad about it........
Ok.....here's my beef.....

[Tour2ma]

I'm with ya brett...

... and another thing, why quote at all when your reply immediate follows the one to which you are responding...

For example there was no need to quote F1 above to make your point... and you didn't... :D

[mantis]

Is there anything better to do then Bitch about Trivial things?

no.









Do we have to do this about every stupid thing?? First it was, the sigs are to long,

then we shouldn't list all our equipment, only 3 lines,

then we should/should not post pictures other than speakers in the showcase,

shit!!!! what can we do that will make everyone happy??

Can we just post, what about all the stupid shit in the sigs, like we see alot, NOT a gear list, just quotes of other quotes or something people said, I for one know sid put something i said on and i didn't care for him to do it just recently..

But it's like, is it worth the trouble to say something?? NO

[brettw22]

Faster,

Give me a fuckin break. I realize that you cut and pasted everything in the thread into your quote, but there are posts that people have quoted that are as long as that, if not longer. That's why I did this thread. If you don't like it, move on.

I'm just saying, that I'm going to read the posts, then I don't want to have to read someone's entire post again to get what the person is actually responding to. I don't think that it's an outlandish request, nor was it meant to provoke people into getting bent at the request. In the same breath, if ya don't agree, you can say that in 3 words......

Do whatever you want I suppose with your posts......I'm just voicing that to me, it's 100% unnecessary for people to do, and especially to the extreme level that people are doing it lately......

[faster100]

you know what Brett, first of all,, i didn't speak to you with such disrespect, and second it seems you are having a bad week here lately or something.. it just seems funny that you have a ridicoulous(sp) sig.. but are complaining about the quote system people use, However i agree to a point.. maybe we can bring it to attention in a different way.. and where did all the F words start flying with you? sheesh.... you used to seem like a mellow and collective member and now its fuck this and fuck off.. what ever dude...... don't like what i have to add.. you move on,

4. ok that's all i feel like searching for, yeah i'm bored, yeah i have time on my hands i guess, But point made.......











LOL LOL :D :D :D :D

[Tour2ma]

Faster,
Look at it this way. Better to vent about a little irritation here than to interrupt a productive thread. And that's all it was, an irritation... Of course now it's on its way to becoming a crusade...

[brettw22]

1. Was to F1 that he got as a joke.....he's aware.

2. You snapped about my opinion on Quoting.......I honestly care if ya don't like it......it's my opinion.......get it?

3. Yet another joking comment......

4. I didn't say that.........

----------------------------------

My sig is quotes that I've found funny. It's not excessive, it's not double spaced so that it takes up all the room it possibly could on the screen, and it's not offensive to any person in here....period. My sig has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Quoting that i described at the beginning of this thread. Apples to oranges doesn't do anything to make your point to be honest.

You suggested that I bring this up in a different way. I started a post on the forum under the Off Topic section. What exactly is your problem with the way I brought this up? I think that I worded it pretty clearly and semi-playful, no?

The F words are just me playin around. If you have seen an F word by me that's been intentionally meant as rude and insulting towards someone (which has happened with just a couple people), then perhaps you're misinterpreting my delivery. Number 1 above may be one of those times. Maybe it'd be different if you heard me say it, but that's not the reality of this forum.

I'm not angry, and no, it hasn't been raining here in Phoenix for a while.

[faster100]

Ok done, I want no trouble.. let's not turn it into a "faster just leave it alone" again,

I only mentioned the F word thing, as it struck me.. some members " I " think of as productive cool and calm... like Dr.Spec for instance and when some one of those said members starts showing anger or vulgerity it just strikes me as something might be wrong. It's not an attack


It would be like when your young and have an idle for what ever reason,(singer, baseball player, comedian,smart family member) you start out with respect for this person for thier knowledge maybe or ability, and all the upfront stuff, then you find out(hypithetical (sp) )) that they smoke crack, drink like a alcoholic, and beat their wife...(this was a streych but you get the point)


you lose that respect after that



It's all good bro, fogetaboutit......

[mantis]

Is it me or is everyone ready to go to blows???

It's like post 1 or 3 wrong words and BAM...everyone wants to jump..............

Seems like everyones tired of fighting but have no Idea how to stop............funny isn't it.

You should do this and you should do that..........F this and F that.......F off....Leave.........Move on......man is it really all this in here???

Should we just have a completley open fuck match??Get all the bad blood out?
Maybe we should find a central ring somewhere and kick the living shit out of each other......I'll be the first in the ring.....Lets go punks...Mantis wants some.............Will that solve this intense "ready to explode" feeling around here??

If I personally Kick the living shit out of TroyD will that make us friends in the end?

I assume personally I must have a shitty sense of humor,I can't crack any kind of Dickhead remark without all of you wanting to gang up on me..........fuck it if you have problems with me .we can start with me what the fuck right???

Lets all fuck me in my face and tell me exactly how you feel.No holds bared...none.......
Fight fight fight fight fight.......you want nothing else do you.....it burns inside of you,you just want some ass huh..

Will this get US somewhere???????

Tour2Ma seems to want some
FrankZ and I seem to have some kind of THING going on
Russ and I are trying to be cool with one another(go figure)
TroyD can't stand me,and Me him
faster100 seems to be ready to kick anyone in his path
Brett is all worked up.....
ATC and myself are going south.....claiming me as his Bitch and all
Who else???????????I know your out there..come forward and speak your piece.....WANT SOME........?????.....IT'S HERE FOR YEAH...

[mantis]

My vote for the coolest cat on the forum is Ron-P.

This dude I don't believe has ever Bitched about anyone or anything.....maybe we can learn from the master.....Ron-P.

[TroyD]

Wow......

Since I haven't chimed in on this topic, I agree with Brett, brevity is a good thing.

Sometimes there is nothing like the F-bomb.

Jesus, Dan, go for a walk or go to your 'happy place' or something, that kind of hostility is bad for your bloodpressure.

Troy

[TroyD]

I also agree, Ron is a GREAT guy. In fact I still owe him for the Steelhead that he sent me.....GREAT BEER!

I appreciate what you think of me, This thread was getting better i thought.. a few words, Mind your business,

you seem to be high on the horse about alot of things around here, being you seem to wanna call people out and all..

and maybe you can post your own thread with Fuck this and fuck that, and how much you wanna fight and how much you think everyone else wants to as well.... maybe it's you that seems to wanna start shit?

if you start with me, get ready for the long haul Dan, I have no shit with you.. don't make it that way. with your snide comments about how people think, your gear comments, your personal attacks to people.. ie: calling people on here bitches, talking smack about peoples projects, so on......... come on don't start with me, this board after the last go around has made my skin thicker, and i'm not in the mood for more pompus shit!!!

[mantis]

Is that all you got Troy????

nothing you want to say to clear the air abit......not points to come out ???Thats all?want me to go to a happy place in concern of my blood pressure???

[faster100]

Troy D in the end i agreed with brett, maybe i was off base here..
and far as the F bomb, yeah in the middle of a sentence when you get uptight about something, But just to say FUCK off, or FUck you, just kinda belittles yourself....


And Dan, it seems your the only one who seem to need to bring to my attention that you think im out to kick anyone in my way!!

why would you say this?? Becuase i dogged you in about 3 post late last night>>??????

I chime in when i disagree on something and it turns quickly into this sometimes, most of the time i'm just posting comments and asking questions.. their are a selected few that help me when ever i ask a question, everytime no doubt.. I need to know something i ask, they answer, end of story .. we don't argue.. we don't call each other names, they even offer support and a "few' solutions.. RON P seems like a stand up guy.... as well as a few others, DR.Spec, Ron P, Tour2ma, few others

[Tour2ma]

Breathe, Dan, breathe...

I have a theory... It's summer. Posts are down. It's like we are all crowded into a smaller room. No room to avoid. It's hot. We clash more than in winter... Kind of a reverse cabin fever... Well, it's a theory...:D

Nah, Dan I don't want a piece. Did I react to a post of yours over in the "harsh tweets" thread? Yup. But your character has always been as a defender of it's "in the ears". And there I felt you dis'd another member's speakers and his moves to get them sounding better. I felt it was because it was running against your paradigms and called you on it. No name-calling, just a line... If your post was in jest, I missed the humor, as did dangerboy.

I think you're a stand up guy with as strong a rep for honesty, and fair dealing as there is in this Club. The wire sale proved it all once again. I also think you have a vast amount of experience and lend it freely. And while I may not yet be a true believer in the miracles of wire, I am not the skeptic I once was. Mostly this is due to your and the growing legion of converts to whom you have shown the light.

However, sometimes I think you not only show people the door, but shove them through it. And if others say, well you know Dan there are other doors, you may react less than graciously.

But it's all good by me. I don't take disagreement personally, and I try to keep my posts from getting personal. Not perfect, but think I have a pretty good batting average on that count. Did not even react to your POS comment on my NIB IRIQ. On the other hand, I do play a lot and sometimes my “humor” is not appreciated and/ or misunderstood. It’s happened with you before and I’ve apologized.

Anyway, I'll still be happy to come to your open house to referee you and TD...

[simm]

bunch of old women in here...............

by the way I agree with Brett and think the use of quotes in almost every post is a waste of time and bandwidth.

[mantis]

Tour2ma,
I can respect your reply.Humor in here is mistaken all the time.I can't seem to make a joke without everyone wanting to put there foor in my ass.Track record,bad attitude whatever it is I just wanted to get past it.

The Harsh tweeter thead hit home Bro.I loved/Hated my complete RT system which I worked on very hard to get where I thought I wanted it.Hell I had 4 different receivers to try to find my sound.Not everyone is the same I know that and dealing with problems is personal with advice being a underlying guidence.I got rid of my rt series as you know.I moved on as I came to the conclusion of graduating,growing out of or just realizing the rt series was not for me.I meant no disrespect to Danger Boy or anyone else on that thead.

Cabin fever could be truth to that with all the rain.I feel it's still lurking around here.Maybe straight instead of reverse......

However, sometimes I think you not only show people the door, but shove them through it. And if others say, well you know Dan there are other doors, you may react less than graciously.
There could be some kind of truth to this.I'm not going to disagree.

Faster100,
ok where to start.lets go with the remote.I didn't know you owned it,I just reacted honestly.We used to have it and not one happy customer,we dropped it.It sucked in my opnion.The Philips Pronto I feel and felt then was the best way to go.I didn't mean to slap you with that comment.Sorry Bro.


and i'm not in the mood for more pompus shit!!!
That seems to be the way of things everyones on edge with a few exceptions man.It's like everyone want not to fight but is completley ready for battle.
The way your reacting to my comments seem like you have some beef with me.If you do lets get it out and address it.I read your replies......

[mantis]

If you want out of respect for the forum,Email me and we can do it there..IM if you have it.......let me know.

Dmantis20@aol.com

[faster100]

I honestly don't know what ya talking about with the remote, no problems here..

Far as beef, it what's for dinner.. I have none.. i'm taking a break

[mantis]

I goofed it it was tours.......man check that out ,sorry Tour.

No beef ...cool I'm cool with moving on

[Tour2ma]

I'm laughing here... no prob's...

Reason it's still NIB is I bought it three or four years ago, but didn't have a PC a the house to program it until last year and then I got the Ref 50 and so....

What's that saying about failure to plan... ?

Oh well, maybe there's some resale value... ad writes itself, "NIB -Except I did take it out once to look at it..." :D

[brettw22]

Wow.............

[Tour2ma]

brett, it's yours for $400...;)

[brettw22]

Only if you send it via UPS, don't insure it, and use U-Haul boxes with small bubble wrap (it is still NIB, right?)............:D

[mantis]

Tour,
Program the 10.2 aka mx700 it's a killer remote and If I wasn't Pronto'd out I would use that to control my system...i like it.

[gshisme]

Jeez another "lets slam Dan" thread. Imagine that. Being new to home theater I have learned a great deal from some members on this forum and I appreciate it immensely. However Dan has been the biggest inspiration in this hobby. No matter how ridiculous any of my questions were, Dan was there to respond without any smart-ass comment. Polkatese also comes to mind. He may have been hard in his reply to my questions but never smart-ass. His experience with components and cables means everything to me.

Just a shame that so many good threads started here end up with a battle of words and egos that have no bearing to the original subject matter.

my .02 worth for what it matters in this forum.

Greg

[polkatese]

Greg,
thanks for the compliment. I tend to stay off the battle and wear my active listening/reading hat, without getting sucked in. Dan has guided me through the maze of gears selection process, and I am very grateful to him. You know, I gained lots of great friends in this forum, it's one community that share my passion for audio and that's my take away from the forum, to learn from others experience and joke (occassionally). Anything else is just noise....:)

[TroyD]

Jeeze, Dan, I was being serious. Your last few posts have been pretty wheels off. Man, go work out, go for a walk, I dunno but you seem to be pretty much on edge. I was just making an honest suggestion to find a little inner peace. We aren't dealing with life and death issues here, if it isn't fun, there isn't much point to it.

I have no deep seated or underlying issues to deal with as far as you are concerned, if I got something to say, I say it and I'm over it. Believe it or not, I've got my own issues to deal with that make audio seem pretty damn insignificant right now. Our petty squabbles don't aren't even a blip on my radar. The forum is something that keeps me in touch with a life that right now seems very foreign and very far away. Wanna know what my big problems are? I haven't seen my family in 5 months and 2 more are not out of the question. We are dealing with a rat and spider infestation problem and I'm using duct tape to keep the walls of my canvas home together and we are out of damn duct tape so if any more canvas splits, I'm living outdoors. I say this not to garner any sympathy for me but maybe let people know that everyone has thier cross to bear and you need to find a way to deal with it and press on.

Take it for what it's worth.

Troy
