    You'll see I've been completely honorable during this. I never bashed either AH or CP. I haven't taken sides, or said anything back to the people who flamed me. Not here to make enemies either.

    I've taken a class in school where the students were 50/50 white-black and we discussed the topic slavery and its effects on African American religion. Yes, it had the potential to be a very touchy topic, but it was discussed very academically. That's all I meant to do here. I request that if you cannot be academic in this discussion, please do not post.

    Whenever I say anything about Audioholics in another thread, someone replies with very demeaning post back. I just wanted to understand why.

    This thread has as much value as this video.

    It is an extremely long a twisted tale, but it all began with Doro exposing his three appendages at an AA function, furthermore, a dwarf, monkey and mute were all involved.

    So Cpyder you should naught and figure on things as the agenda is transparent but your issue is brick-walled here.

    I'll file my thoughts in the.....

    WHO CARES file as well.

    AA, doesn't align with my experiences or thoughts about this hobby. Most of what they talk about is very pedestrian and extremely short sighted. You'll notice we don't go over there and start these types of threads and typically they don't come over here, although lately there have been some very suspicious characters (you included when you first showed here) that seem to have an agenda that parallels the AA ideology.

    Both places can co-exist and each has their respective place. Your post is not as innocuous as you expect us to believe and I'm basing that on your tenure here so far at CP. I expect you to run over to AA and report your findings here.

    Now I'll say again

    Academic? What is that? I have no idea what you're asking, but whatever it is, you don't choose who posts and who doesn't.

    What I'm gathering is that I came to the wrong place to discuss touchy topics. There really is no agenda. I promise. I've probably posted 5 times on AH's forums.

    I apologize to anyone who is offended.

    Oh, that's the worst. Let one fly, then suddenly your boss comes over to ask a question, and you're just praying that you can answer it before the smell gets over to the door.

    Sometimes I just want to say, "You really don't want to be standing there in about... 5 more seconds."

    I have an idea why you would want discuss touchy topics and bring AH's name into it:rolleyes:. Why don't you talk audio? You are fishing trying to get someone to say something bad about AH. Trying to snowball it. I don't for it there thats why I'am here. I am sure you don't represent the attitude of most of the members over there. Just curious how old are you?
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    I made the mistake of farting while sitting at my desk then someone walking in to ask me something and i freaked and jumped up to walk out of my office so he wouldnt catch a whiff.....

    Needless to say i forgot about the "trail effect" as he followed me a few steps to the fax outside my office where i pretended to fiddle around. It took a couple seconds but he just looked at me confused and said i'll just email you.

    That's why I'm in the clubhouse. Open discussion on any topic right? Not just audio. I'm not trying to get people to say anything bad about AH. Hell I'll say something bad - I hate how AH always says like 400 people are viewing a certain topic (like loudspeakers) yet there are 3 posts in one day. That math doesn't add up. Smells kind of fishy. I'm calling it a lie!

    Why can you not understand that I'm not picking a fight?! And my "complaint" was comical - it was supposed to be funny. Stop taking everything so seriously. Please just step back and view this topic from a distance. Leave the swords and shields behind. If I was trying to start a flame war, I'd have said something resembling an attack by now. But I haven't. Instead I've tried to tread very lightly, clearly not taking sides, and apologizing to anyone who was offended.

    Cypder, not sure if there was any sinister intent or not on your part by posting this thread, but you asked for it. Think you might get a reprieve being a "newb" by not responding and letting this topic DIE.
