You must have taken lessons in 'how to ask' from Sudz. He never gave any answer either, posted on January 20, 2015 at 07:43:12

So you ask a question, no commentary, just the question. And expect everyone else to entertain you?
Reads exactly the same a a typical Sudz query.
Now if you would have at least wrote why you ask.. Or some insight of your own. But no all you do is spew out something to 'churn the water'.
Gee I did not respond to your question? well I did. with exactly what I think of it too.
I did not know Sudz got a new moniker. LOL

Sudz also originally was really bad at that, so he got hated even more than normal. He gradually got better, but by then it was too late. Way way too many disliked him.

When you own rebuttal was sent to "Whiner's Woad' You should have gotten a clue..
But, as usual, nope.. You try to make cracks at other people who made minor insults in your (or your posts) general direction.
Bad mistake.You should just take the whole thing with a 'grain of salt' and realize the way you wrote your post was a mistake, and remember to not make the same mistake again. And forget about it.
But, as is usual for a few members, that will be way too hard for you to remember.

"That is a racist comment!"

DanS,
How do you figure that? Are you implying that mentioning the fact that Roger is Asian is somehow racist? Is bringing up the fact that (for example) Cayin electronics are Chinese a "racist comment"?

Some (many?) of us have been going back and forth (mostly in a good natured manner) with Roger Wang on the Asylum for quite a while. I see no reason to believe that mentioning that Roger is the "Asian Sudz" is a racist comment. Are you one of those chickenshit douchebags who sees racism in every utterance? Until you have something constructive to say just STFU. I don't need nor do I appreciate your mealy mouthed meddling.

Tread lightly,
Al

wangmr Audiophile Posts: 2410 Location: Downtown Joined: November 29, 2012	and i agree with you - no way does the original posting sound like coming from a racist. prejudice in other ways, surely, but not a racist-in-intent. "treading heavily" is more fitting for a closing. roger wang

Prejudiced means having an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason. (dictionary.com)

It's a fact that you have posted some 2000 times and many of those posts are asking for opinions for which you rarely provide your own opinion. And it's also a fact that Sudz does much the same. So I don't think this particular post and the comparison to Sudz was "prejudiced" (i.e., judged without knowledge, thought or reason) - it was based on your and Sudz's posting history.

Rlindsa,
i don't how you're counting number of postings - whether in response to an original posting or not; i think that matters as they are two differing styles of nature (so to speak).

next, to align (?) me with mr. sudz is pretty stupid and probably stems from my *support* of his (right to) post. as i've said many times - not that it matters with english-langauge speakers and/or this A.A. board - if someone were to post the exact same posting as sudz (or maybe now me), you would never hear cries of troll or attention-getting or other denigrating reactions.

next, i'm very familiar with what prejudice means aside from the americanized meaning of ethnic groups and stereotyping them (obviously i'm not referring to that singular look at the meaning). prejudice as in pre-formed and pre-judgements - this is shown by my above observation (the same exact posting of a sudz or me under another moniker will not get the same negative down-look reaction).

last, it's also a prejudice (which I answered at least two times) that one is prejudiced against BY NOT GIVING HIS/HER OWN ANSWER when posting an original posting. i already answered why this should not be necessary (see what i wrote under my posting about what component sounds more or less the same to you - directly under it, i gave my own answer).
