    I have NEVER, ever been disrespected in a such a manner. I post about motorcycle safety and he calls me out. Then say that Bose cubes aren't that bad, they sounded similar to my $500 HTiB system and better than a cheap HTiB. And he calls me out again. Ridiculous!

    That's right, I will do everything in my power to have F1nut banned.

    Good grief dude, get over it. I'm sorry now that I defended you after this spectacle... :rolleyes: You have me rethinking my judgment. :confused:

    How DARE you say that to me!

    I think you are way too emotional about this. Think about what you are saying and how you are saying it. When Jesse said that your credibility just flew out the window he was attacking you in a spiteful and personal way. He was simply stating that what you said was not credible to him, period. It's not a personal attack though and there is no need for the reaction that you are displaying. Look at it from a less emotional state and get back to us.

    Speaking of respect you are losing it quickly with the display of angst over such a trivial matter, take some good advice and just move on.

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    Ok, maybe I am seeing this the wrong way. Give me some time to relax, and maybe I'll understand. From a less emotional state, I would simply say that I never questioned his credibility so I don't understand why he would do it to me. There is a big difference between "I call BS" and what was posted.

    Ok, there are 2 sides to everything. I'm trying to see this outside the box and from a 3rd person view. Remember 2004/2005? When I was still learning about audio? You showed me step by step lots of things and I thank you for that. So I'm sorry if I insulted you, or anyone else, that was not the intent whatsoever.

    Man -- F1nut was ribbing you. I mean me and my roommate talk **** about each other all the time out of boredom.

    Gotta loosen up in life and roll with the punches. So what if Jesse was serious? How is that changing your life right now? If he hiring you for a job? Is he asking you out on a date?

    I mean cmon he is a guy you have never met that you may never meet and "insulted" you among peers you mostly do not know.

    All I am getting at, who gives a ****? Move on.

    I'm sorry for overreacting. And I apologize for being upset in this thread. I show respect when it is given to me, and expect the same thing in return. Now that I am calmer, I want to explain why I was upset about the Motorcycle quote - it's because of the fact that I am very responsible on the road. I don't drive stupidly because you could swerve or lose control and seriously hurt or injure someone. So I feel that it was a little out of place, that's all. If I overreacted let me know, was just upset that despite my responsibility someone says I have no business on a bike. I know though that I won't do anything stupid on one, if I do decide to ride.

    Look, I am in the process of moving on - just wanted to apologize for what was said. I thought this place was beyond that. When you packed up the DefTechs nicely, why do you think I sent an extra $50? Because I cared and knew that you cared about the speakers getting here in one piece. When Harry fixed my main panel, making a multiwire branch circuit on the right breaker, I took him and Mike to a Thai restaurant - again, because I thought they cared. Treitz bought my HP laptop and I threw in loads of LEGAL software in the package, what did he do? He sent me an envelope over night. I thought this place was like a family.

    This thread was started in the good spirit of helping a friend without insulting him and now it turned into just as bad as most cable threads. a few pages on the subject and now multiple useless pages of derailing and inflamatory posts. Who is really being disrespected here? IMHO, messiah the OP! As far as I am concerned, unless messiah think he can further gain from the discussion I seriously think this thread is mature for closure as its simply been pure negativity since. People, it is my understanding that Ken is now the only mod on here at CP so let's give him a break and respect him! Thread reported hoping it will be closed!

    WAAAA he disrespected me, Just kidding :)

    Some of you guys take posting in this forum way to seriously.

    Like Vr3MxStyler2k3 said: Shake it off. People say and do things like this all the time on here. Honestly, this thread went from funny to sad in no time flat.

    Serendipity, Have a drink and chill and if you don't drink take a nap and try to calm down. It wasn't that bad. I have been told worse by better and honestly I can care less. If you are that worried about your perceived respect on this forum maybe you need to walk away for a bit. This is a great family to be a part of. But like any family we have our perceived dysfunctional ones.

    My point was, I don't believe it was meant to be an insult. It was how Jesse felt and he expressed it. You can disagree with it or you can look at it as being true and making changes to your thoughts. That part is up to you. It was you that turned it into an insult to you personally. It is actually a learning experience though. Look at it that way.

    How DARE you judge someone? For the record, although I am young, I am a very safe driver and would never attempt any stunts on a motorcycle. Yet you are so presumptuous and think that I am not mature enough? Well guess what, I would NEVER ride in an unsafe manner, ever! And why would I be selected to TA Intro to Electrical Engineering at my university if I'm not responsible?

    I agree, I am 22 and have been handed over keys to cars like 370z's and 740 bmw's for 3 weeks and was told to enjoy it. I own a kawasaki and have been riding for 3 years. Do I do stunts? Not at all some would call me a chicken for not but why do I want to change hurting me or my bike or other people? Not all young people are idiots or act like "fast and furious". But than again if people are saying you and me should not own bikes and drive sports cars at our age I guess I should not take the keys to a skyline gtr this fall for a audio install for 2 weeks.:rolleyes:

    Just because we are young doesn't mean that we will drive recklessly. Seriously. Not all young people act stupid on the road. But some love to generalize I guess. I don't have any business on a bike? I shouldn't be riding a motorcycle because of my posts? Please.
