In Reply to: RE: I enjoy the Stepehen Mejias column but when... posted by Regor Ladan on June 19, 2011 at 09:03:24
But has anyone besides me noticed that in this thread, Stephen comes off a thoroughly decent young man, and the rest come off as horny old men?
Like I said, no disrespect. ;-)
Follow Ups:
Let me see if I understand, this guy writes about his girl friends in reviews, including his success of lack of in the romantic department, and because a few members comment on such, poking a little fun, you charactrerize them as horny old men, adding, "no disrespect" intended!
Austin you are a pathetic clown! ... disrespect fully intended (just in case you miss that)
LOL

Why do people say things to one-another online that they very likely wouldn't do face-to-face? I'm guessing Stephen M. would make a great friend but he does seem to need a little more confidence with women.This is just an observation based on reading his column.I'm not certain that an audio magazine is the place to profess lonliness though without taking a little good-natured heat for it.Then again,I'm frequently wrong.
I don't know why you're directing that at me, after all I said much the same about the reviewer, and it was Austin that got his nose all out of joint over the predictable "good-natured heat".
As for things people wouldn't say face-to-face I shall assume that would include not saying "no disrespect" after delivering a overt insult. However in Austin's case I have my doubts.

I apologize.I wasn't directing that at you. I'm just laptop stupid.I think "the old school: said it better than I can.No disrespect intended
I like Stepehen's column, but I really think this young man should find a divorced cougar who'll give his plugs a cleaning that he'll fondly remember the rest of his life. Probably change his whole outlook on life. I know it did mine.

...to convert discerning inmates into gossip columnists. Duh. :^)
BTW, prostitution is not a panacea.
Soulfood:
Your posts are becoming more bizarre with each day. Are you
skipping your meds?
On reflection, two divorced cougars. At the same time. That's the ticket!!! If I'm a horny old man, I may as well be a perverted horny old man.

A boy cannot survive on LPs alone. My dad used to tell me Have Gun, Will Travel.
The most cringe worth moment was when he got uncomfortably intimate with
one of his records a few columns ago. It bordered on Paraphilia.
tsk. tsk. regor give the boy a break. he just wants to have fun. you want to deny him his jollies? :)
If he wants to have fun he should stop thinking and just make a move. If you don't make a real move, women will think you don't find them sexually attractive (or don't find women in general attractive).
Your'e parenthetical comment may have some truth.
Stereophile's most popular blogger has teen-(okay, twenty-something-) angst, and is brand new to audio. I am clearly not their intended target audience but if it brings new readers into the hobby, kudos to Stereophile.

SM's passion for music comes through in his column. Audio gear is a distant second, as it should be IMO. As for SM being decent, women don't fall in love with decent men (though they may marry one). Yes, in my experience. If you want to score, be a bad boy.
Well based upon this thread alone (I haven't read the reviews) one could be forgiven for suspecting that Audio Gear, the supposed subject of such reviews, might rank even further down (than second) in his list interests.

but that is hardly surprising.
Jim, I worry you are just being overly sensitive after JA called you one of them there skeptics.
;D
(All of this is just goofing off, Jim.)
What Jim said .
Or are you suggesting the audio equipment makes them horny?
...that you seem to have no idea what men of all ages tease each other about.
No disrespect intended.
Did you actually think we find Stephen at fault for not taking his column in a scatologic direction? Corey Greenberg already tried the horny young guy schtick.
Mr. Austin, sometimes guys tease each other...it's part of camaraderie. It actually means we like Stephen.
If you want disrespect, tell us what you think of Roy Hall's opinion on this matter.
:)

Sure -- when they're friends.

Do I think you're mad at Stephen for not writing about poo? No. Whatever gave you that idea?
> > Mr. Austin, sometimes guys tease each other...it's part of camaraderie. It actually means we like Stephen. < <
Fine. But I still think it makes you (plural) sound like horny old men. No disrespect.
> > If you want disrespect, tell us what you think of Roy Hall's opinion on this matter. < <
Don't know. Didn't read it.

Do I need to set up some form of identification?
Also, we sound more like teenage boys.
;D
Let me further assist with certain use of terms...
decency is not at issue.no doubt he is fine young man; perhaps a prince; perhaps a mature reviewer as he grows up. likewise, the postings are true to form.
a tad more serious, for the moment: reread his columns and suss-out his chronic single young boy point of view: his continual babbling on about his various friends, who happen to be girls and his lack of a significant relationships with the other sex, if, indeed, that really interests him. it was only a matter of time before questions were raised by the forum crowd; those "horney old men".
Yep.
Lord:
As usual, you are astute.
Our decent young man in question is the only reviewer, or columnist, who incorporates his circle of female friends, notions of longing and loneliness, AND audio equipment into a running narrative.
..and there were A LOT of nice pictures of his nubile co-worker from the Munich reports.
Actually, his latest column about the NAD integrated brings back memories..I rolled with an NAD for a number of years with some Rogers LS35a's. Wish I had not sold that NAD.
i think many of us started with nad equipment (for me the mid'80s ). the column is a fine, worthy idea. the equipment elements 'work'; and no doubt those elements will continue to improve. honestly, for me, some solid editing from ja to clean up the obsessive boy magazine 'tendencies' would strengthen the column.
hey, wtf do i know, maybe there is a claque out there that is enamored with the whole kit and kaboodle.
take care "regor". i'll catch up with you down the road.

In my case it is totally different ... I never again wish to see, let alone hear, the Adcom stuff I started with. No it's not junk, but better makes you acutely aware of shortcomming, and my trajectory has been firmly on the path of improvement, perhaps served well by having no particular attachment to equipment.
