    Personally I like Sid, he's south of the hyper line, but overall he means well.

    But Brett does make a valid post. Sid can get on these post tangents, and he can get stubborn. And the two don't mix. I have read too many of the 150/70 debate and now when I see a thread involving the two I ignore it.

    I think Sids undoing on this forum was not properly setting up his DVD player. Then throwing a fit to the people who were trying to help him.

    And I think Brett is trying to make it clear that he would like Sid to stay out of the 150/70 threads for a while so people can get objective posts about them without starting a war. Then the whole forum comes off looking stupid.

    Max.......I'm very happy. Just ask bigsexy/Jstas. ;) I'm impressed that you haven't run across Sid's comments on these speakers even once, considering that any thread regarding the two, or even individually, gets the EXACT SAME arguements/comments EVERY time.

    Faster....The only long term "**** LIST" in which you believe you're on is totally in your head. Since you've mentioned it several times, I take that to mean you believe that there's a master plan with regard to your future here. (doesn't that sound kinda.....um.....stupid?)

    Avelanchefan.....Thank you. My point was really just to point out that it's not necessary to ****/moan EVERY time about the SAME speakers like he's done. Seperately, but very similarily, Bigsexy feels "attacked" when I mention his famous statements origin. (even though he makes it EVERY time about those imparticular speakers) <<shrug>> I don't remember the DVD stuff with Sid....I just have an overall irritance with seeing the same stuff over and over and OVER AND OVER AND OVER again.

    I really don't think that I'm outta line in pointing out that the point has been made (repetitively) and to effin DROP IT!!!!!

    Then quit bringing it up again repetitively in numerous threads, you whiny little ****! If you really want it to stop so bad, then shut the **** up about it and stop dragging it out.

    No, you stop Brett. You come over here and start **** on a whole entirely different thread, the exact same **** I might add that we just went through on the other thread, and the whole time you do it by claiming that you are 'tired of the same **** over and over" and also you talk about how others "can't let go of the past" when you are the one who keeps bringing it up repeatedly. Well, start by practicing what you preach. I guess maybe you must not be as tired of it as you claim. I don't know, maybe it's the old "bad attention is better than no attention at all" adage at work here.
    I have stopped with you now after this post. You should try it too.

    Again, as in the other thread, have a nice day:rolleyes:

Don't **** tell me people don't get passed up around here becuase who they are!!! sometimes anyways..... I'm not saying its even me, but it happens,, I don't think its a MASTER PLAN" But i certainly have the right to point it out, as you seem to with everyone you don't care for..

    Whew, I'm glad you are happy. That is a load off of my mind! I guess I don't really follow Sids posts as closely as you do. Maybe he does go too far. Does he do this in your threads? Why not ask him to stop posting on threads you start?

    does Brett actually even start threads other then these kind?
    last actual thread he started was almost 2 weeks ago.. and 30% of the posts from that time were busting someones chops,

    maybe Sid isnt the Real/Only Issue around here?

    Look, if Im such an 'issue' with everyone. I will leave. Simple.

    Brett wines 24/7 about any and everything. Anyone that pays attention can see that. BS and I have no more problems, I am staying out of these 70/150 argument. (I'll just link old threads to them ;);))

    Anyways, if I'm an issue. I'll leave.

    i must say you guys are an entertaining bunch.

    i'll just say that i don't think there are any "real" issues with the board. i'm sure there are plenty of members just like me who really don't care and don't ever get involved in these discussions (if you can even call them that).

    people will only get to you if YOU let them. i'm pretty sure everyone knows how to block someone, they just choose not to use that function.

    Arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics, you may win but you're still retarded.

    Anyways, don't mind me, go back to your regularly scheduled arguing. It makes for entertaining reading whenever I get bored with the informational threads.

    I can't believe I'm about to say this, but Sid, don't leave the forum just because you get on Brett's nerves. I'm sure that you haven't gotten on anyone else's nerves more than you have mine (with the possible exeption of maybe Troy and Russ), and while I did view the results of it, I haven't even voted in this poll. If I had voted in it, we all know which way it would have been, but I didn't.
    To try to openly humiliate a forum member like this seems to have backfired on ole' Brett. It seems like the tide has turned the other way now back towards him judging by the most recent posts. Reminds me of Jimmy Swaggart, Rush Limbaugh, etc. who openly criticize and condemn other's actions, but when they inevitably screw up themselves, and the mirror is held back in their direction towards them, it's a different story then. Besides, he caused me to get put in the hall of shame for the first time!:eek: I'm surprised this thread hasn't also been put there yet.

    I personally like sinking the line, people on this forum are very easy to do it on, I am to at times. Especially on some topics.

    Although I find it amazing how people on here will post ideas, and then I post an idea then I get flamed for it.

    PS:

    PSS:

    Im not leaving the forum, although I found it amazing that you BS replied to that. Hey BS, can you tell me your name so I can stop using BS?

    Sure they have. I'm postive at least 1 or 2 of you ladies has reported it.

    Maybe they *sorta* agree.

    Maybe they don't think some member's repetitive 'ramblings' are a good reflection of what a common Polk user is like.

    Maybe they want to attract a wider customer base than your common pubescent, goofy teen.

    Maybe they want to be known as 'The Speaker Specialists' not 'DA BOMB'.

    Maybe....

    Well all good points, BUt its back to the age limit thing again... Its either rules for everyone or a age limit.. We can't make rules as we go for each personality.. I don't think anyways.. I feel alot of what's being said here.. But "alot" of members need to set an example, and i don't mean for SID, But for Polk........ Brett for one.. Enough of the freaking bashing everyone!! I know i do stuff too.. But need i be reminded by the "Brett Police" everytime... Its far far from just Trey here.. This thread is just for him though i know.. I am an adult here... Lets talk like Adults to each other instead of beating each others asses when someone disagree's.. or agree's for that matter...

    Why would Polk want to cut the line off of their future profits?

    I mean whether you like it or not, we're the future. I am sure there will be another smart@$$ out there just like you...I've met many. Don't worry, you wont be forgotten.

    We could talk about the Bose 901 system that is on its way to me as we speak. I'm sure they will blow away both the 70's and 150's. After all, Bose IS the best!

    No, No! Not the little cubes! They will cause a desire to become deaf. The 901's are comparably huge. 21" x 13" x 13". You could fit about 25 of those little cubes in one 901...

    The 70's/ 150's debate will die. It rose with the clearance sales and will fade with time and the establishment of the new line.

    Sid is fine. He's learning; he's forming opinions. Take issue with what he is stating if you like, but spare the lad the personal attacks.

    Agree with Tour on the first part. Each time the RTi line goes on closeout we get an influx of similar posts.

    Far as Sid goes, look, I got no real issues with him except that he thinks he knows everything, can't take constructive criticism and, I agree with Russ, needs to cut down on the nonsense posts. Personally, now that I think of it, the lad just craves attention for whatever reason.

    As far as the using the analog outs on the DVD player, if you like the internal DAC's better than those in the preamp/receiver....why not?

    FWIW, brett is a good guy too. Gotta admire a guy that's not afraid to speak his mind, especially when most of the time it's something that the majority of us probably agree with but won't say anything.
