Dew Eeet!

Oh my god, I had no idea. Well I guess you are the Mack Daddy aren't you? I apologize for my prior ignorant comments. My Mom slapped me when I was five, and my Brother pissed in my Corn Flakes! I just can't get past it! Can you help me?

Dear saint.panda I'm writing to inquire if you'd be interested in reviewing the Flying Peppermill. It would be of the utmost importance for our growing little company to obtain a review from a member of your demi-god status. Please don't let us down! Sincerely S

Writing a lube review could offset some of the costs of your other hobby though. " I like Velvet Glide because it feels real good on my hoo hoo, and it doesn't stain my sheets"...

Any fuckin' slob with a high post count and some rudimentary writing skills has most likely been contacted by manufacturers for one reason or another. I've been contacted several times. I've also been contacted and asked to write reviews for Stereo Mojo. Am I some kind of demi-god? Fuck no! I'm a guy on a fuckin' website that may have some simple insights to pass along. The day I start thinking that I'm more important than I really am, is the day I start turning into an asshole who runs down others because they're not as important as he is. When the truth is that most of us here don't care to ride that train, even though we've been sent the free tickets. You truly don't see what an asshole you are do you? You would have been well served to make a few quick points and leave, but you had to blow your fuckin' horn loud and proud! Well you've very much succeeded in turning me, an indifferent member into a someone who grimaces at the sight of the name markl ! At this point I'm not sure anyone gives a fuck. No ill will meant towards you purk, it's just that this guy is hard to stomach.

You have a twisted sense of humor. I love it!

Yeah, well I'm starting to think it isn't a good fit for you either. OK Fitz, you can go back to work now. I'm really done. It's gotten to this...

Hey bitches, what about my new movie?

Only eeef he breaks out the Visa Card!

If this fuckin' post isn't pumpin' Maple Syrup up your own ass then I'm Queen fuckin' Latifah! I actually had to hold back a gag while reading that shit. I'm seriously believing now that you're your own biggest fan. I even came into this thread defending you, but then you played the Mr. Thirstin fuckin' Howl the IIIrd card and I turned Green. Good Day.

You know he has a point there. I have never had an issue with your mods or you making money off of them, especially with you openly posting them. In fact I thought that was pretty cool. But that last post did come across as a bit elitist. I've been in the audio hobby for over 30 years, and I didn't and don't have you on any fucking pedestal. I thought some of your reviews to be insightful and held you no disrespect. But you just blew enough smoke out of your ass there to make me wanna puke! Get off your fuckin' high horse! I've been contacted to right reviews, so fuckin' what! You don't hold any deep knowledge that any of the rest of us who've been in this hobby a while haven't already picked up on. You're used to posing for the teenage sect who may very well have a pedestal for you, but you're not impressing those of us that have put our time in. I'm done, just had to get that said. And to think you'd almost won me over for a bit.

And here I thought you were jumping in to cast your vote for the ?22.

That crossed my mind.

He's agreeing with me, and I'm agreeing with you. Re-read his post. Or go back and re-read mine.

I've never been banned on Head-Fi, and yet I still love this site, hmmm? I'm not so sure that people are different over here, it's more that they're allowed to be who they really are over here without the censorship and childproofing. I still like Head-Fi, but this is where you can be an adult and say the shit that's been on your mind for better or worse. I think if you gave it half a chance you'd find that people are actually more genuine here than there, and most of them are great people. I have more fun with this crowd than I've had in this hobby in a long time. Yeah some people like to spar a bit, but it's harmless.

OK now I'm even more confused! Is he slammin' my cans? 'Cause I'm not above bitch slappin' his ass! Actually the giant Purple Heart CD3Ks are Larry's work, and I received them as a trade out for some work. The bitches got mucho bass, but they do look fuckin' ridiculous.

Very cool Nate! Shall I send over a case of Jolt Cola?

I agree with some of your points. However Duggeh didn't say you broke any rules, he just simply found the review to be fluff. He has a right to that opinion, and he wasn't calling your Grandmother names or anything. You didn't win him over on that one, call it a day and move on. Your loosing ground trying to make him out a bad guy.

NSFW? Sorry I'm an old fart. Funny you mention that. When Spacemanspliff owned the now famous Darth Boobies we talked about a stand. I wanted to make a custom stand that looked like a bra. The labor involved would have cost a small fortune though.

Yeah Duggeh calls 'em as he sees 'em. It's quite refreshing really for a man of his years to be so unbiased. You can't win 'em over all the time markl.

You really should try to audition a ?22 aerius, I think you'd be suitably impressed. It may not sway you from tubes, but I'll bet it would be at the top of your list for SS amps.

Shit! That must mean I can no longer review headphone stands. And I had a big shootout all typed up! I have to agree with markl that he did give the mods away for free to anyone wishing to do their own labor. If someone would rather pay him to do the labor, what's the difference in that and having a flat tire fixed instead of doing it yourself. I can't fault the man for that. I haven't heard a modded D 5000 0r a stock D 5000, so I won't comment on the mods, but I think his business practices are in line. Some people would just rather pay to have something done, no conspiracy there as far as I can see.

Amen! I've learned more about headphones from that thread, than I've learned anywhere else.

Request granted.
