one who, as the type dictates, is oblivious to opinions that don't conform to your own... i.e. people expressing satisfaction with modern CD player (including over sampling implementations), folks pleased with modern recording, etc.
Anyway, carry on, it's not like you can help doing otherwise... that yet another characteristic of the type.

There is a distinction between a product or technology that I think poses a cancerous problem and those who happen to like such product or technology. Unless you can point out otherwise, I have **never** criticized anyone who likes a product that I think is problematic.
The one thing I will never question is anyone's personal tastes or personal preference. If I say ASRC is awful, and someone likes how it sounds, for him individually, his personal preference wins out over my opinion. Every time.
The only time I will respond to one's liking of such product is if it's in the form of a review, and it's just a dissenting opinion toward the product, not a criticism of the reviewer.
If most people take pleasure in Big-Mac's, 7$ wines, embarrassing pictured wide screen TV's, monster looking Korean etc. toy cars, I-Pods, Miss this'n'that contests - Let them. We can't change the world, they are not to blame. It's the greedy industry that makes them believe that what they consume it the best thing ever, The most intelligent, tasteful, blind borned person will never know the true meaning of blue color, no matter how hard you try to explain.
off-line for a while, vacation, See you.
you're elbowing and shoving all the same!
You can never, it seems, resist an opportunity to offer up your anti-ASRC rant (just your favorite bugaboo) even in the most flimsy of contexts such as for example in response (link provided) to some fellow complaining of the sound of a few $200-$300 CD carousel players of all things!
It wasn't that one of the two players apparently wasn't even a non-ASRC implementation, not at all, it was your need to offer up for the umteenth time the same old tiresome rant. Why the campaign? You consistently suggest the technology is fatally flawed, not that for example it excites sensitivities in some unfortunate subset of listeners (which would be fine for what it's worth I suppose).
When we add the technology is commonly employed even in some current SOTA players, players that are fawned over by the press and also by satisfied owners (it seems you simply miss such testimonials that appear all the time in the Digital Asylum?) your condemnations seem sillier still.

If you are incapable of distinguishing product criticism from personal attack, all I can say is pity.
If you are taking dives to deceive people here, you may convince a few, but how I'm perceived was never a concern. And never will be.
I'll state distinctions, mainly to help the readers here. But I have no control over individuals ignoring what's stated or choosing to ignore what's stated. To these people, sorry your toes hurt. But it is impossible to stop doing something that's not being done in the first place.
If your feelings are hurt over mere opinion of products or technology, maybe you should try an alternative audio forum. One that restricts opinion on hot audio topics so nobody is ever offended.

If I successfully convince the audio industry to stop making players and DACs with ASRC, you'll still have your own player that has ASRC, which you happen to like. Just like I have my 1990s vintage players, which I happen to like. Nobody has any desire to take that away.
