You are engaging in a lot of assumptions. [...] Are you able to prove me wrong? Talk abou assumptions! Since yours was obviously the first one, I guess I don't have to tell you the burden of proof actually lays the other way around here, do I?My quote so far seems un-refuted; Oh! Pleaaa-se! As if anyone in full possession of their mental faculties (either on HA or not) could actually give a rat's arse at refuting what, fallacy ! Just so you understand it once and for all and make no more strawman argument out of it: my sheer indignation (also shared by at least another member) is not with us feeling kinda hurt at anyone attacking us with that "mine-is-bigger-than-yours", freudian, penile BS that may stick to you guys in your "industry" - differences between member signatures over and most audiophool fora can obviously attest this last statement. We are obviously not that petty to care about that. Can't you see (or stop pretendind you cannot) it's down to the way you behaved? I, for myself, was challenging your ethics, not your ad hominem , childish claims.I did not say all , but I am am quite convinced that many or most on this otherwise august forum use systems that those in my industry refer to as 'lofi' or 'midfi'. QuoteI am certain from previous experience that posters there use lofi gear. I'd be surprised if any of them have a cartridge that retails for over $100.00. So, at first you were "certain" , then you used the "any" pronoun, so as there can be absolutely no doubt you know all HA members' gears. Right... Why still insisting upon slyly/desperately trying to play it all down? We may not concur with you cult's beliefs, but you cannot be that naive to believe we're gonna fall for that, can you? Just concede that, on saying that, you came across as a cocky gearhead - simples. Then you can move on to either reporting back to HQ - for some well deserved decoration - or carry on trying to defend your cult's beliefs as if this forum were a soapbox of sorts for you to try to convert anyone over here. Finally, at least I can safely say "from previous experience that" such misuse of this community won't get you too far over here: No, you're probably not going to be banned (unlike the de facto behaviour towards some of our members who happen to venture into you lot wonderland): you'll either tire yourself or come to terms with the fact that you'll be just another dog barking at the proverbial tree. Oh! Need the proof for such claim!? Easy: use the search box up yonder and check out how many placebophiles like yourself have already left this community for good along this decade and a half (bar the occasional Analog Scott lurking in here like a real perve but claiming it is just "once in a blue moon - right...). A community which couldn't care less about whichever "nom de plume" you lot choose to call it, as we, unwillingly (but usually proudly) end up being you old ladies' favourite talk of the town anyway.
