and doing as you wish, without much regard for the community here.
I found him interesting but some really got into it with him.

We dont speak its name was truly a bad individual in all aspects of interaction with fellow humans.
We dont speak its name ultimately picked to wishing cancer on the wife and children of a poster that took exception to his viewpoints.
It earned its banishment. Its signal to noise ratio was way too noise
I see nothing wrong with "thoughts and prayers" for someone's death.
Thoughts and prayers are completely worthless so what's the harm?
Richard Bassnut Greene. His ability to annoy subjectivists was such that they had him banned. Not AA's finest hour, but certainly one of its most entertaining. ~:)
My favorite banned person was Wellfed, the subject of the Amazing Randi Million Dollar Challenge for the Intelligent Chip, which was the subject of many months' debate right here on General 2095.The main Randi Educational Foundation interface with Wellded was Kramer, formerly of Butthole Surfers. Eventually negotiations broke down and Wellfed withdrew. But I digress. What Wellfed was banned for, as far as I can tell, was a series of responses in the form of questionable photos to some of his detractors here, and finally there was one photo that broke the camel's back, a photo in rather questionable taste of some bearded guy in a tutu. Some of the photos may still be in the archive, I'll have to check. Clark's demise was more or less by mutual agreement as I recall. They both had long and illustrious runs here.

kind of crush on you?
He did resort to immature grade school photo replies eventually.

I think the word you're looking for is shill.
Without proper promotion something terrible happens. Nothing.
I don't recall Wellfed. But I do recall the drubbing Jim Austin took over his dismissal of the IC without bothering to try it. Charles Hansen and John Curl were especially harsh.
Jim Austin assumed since he had a PhD he MUST know all about quantum physics, that it couldn't possibly work. That's what happens when it gets Piled Higher and Deeper. Even Clark's buddy Dr. Gow poo-poo'd my quantum explanation. Henk and his wife got it, though. I demo'd the Chip for Curl and Crump in the Soundlab room 2005 and they both said heard it right away, but years later under some pressure Curl folded and claimed he might have been tricked. LolAfter Wellfed dropped out of the Amazing Randi Million Dollar Challenge mostly because they required ten consecutive correct guesses under very controlled blind conditions on a system of THEIR choosing.
Weirdly, a little later your humble scribe became the target of The Amazing Randi due to the "paranormal" aspect of the Intelligent Chip, but also the clever clock. One assumes The Amazing Randi had tired of going after dowsers and spoon benders. Later on he went after Michael Fremer and attempted to get him involved in a cable Million Dollar Challenge. One of Randi's goons at the "Educational Foundation" threatened to kick my ass if I came down to the Randi retreat down in the Caribbean somewhere on Randi's yacht.

All in great fun of course. :-) Jim Austin came out swinging with a SECOND diatribe against the poor little misunderstood Intelligent Chip. Wellfed coined the phrase, been Machina Dynamized. He also coined the phrase, Science Friction. Mr. Chip eventually found its way into the hands of reviewers Henk and his wife in Amsterdam I think it was, can't recall what mag they were reviewers for.

It's the prosecutor who must prove his case, not the defendant.

What level f proof do you require?
If I ask for 'Beyond a Reasonable Doubt', that is quite a bit different than lower standars of proof.....
Too much is never enough
It's a complicated subject, proof and evidence, especially for audio, which is largely subjective. You might prove it in one system but not another, or for one person but not another. Besides evidence and proof should ideally come from independent sources, that's why there is the term, independent verification and validation, IV&V.Can you imagine the absurdity of having to prove the claims of a tweak manufacturer in court, "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury if this cable doesn't sound like the most transparent and undistorted cable you've ever heard you must find the defendant guilty." Or, "If you can't clearly hear the difference in sound when the fuse of this amplifier is reversed then you must find the defendant guilty."
If a manufacturer claims his product achieves 90 dB SNR do you verify it? Of course not, you assume it's correct, right?
Personally, I do my own investigation of claims, the ones I'm interested in, don't you? I don't take a manufacturer's word for it or even a reviewer's or audiophile's. Do you?
What claims specifically are you suspicious about that you would ask this question?

It would be a legal liability not to ban anyone making physical threats. Not to mention that it is such an obvious line not to cross.
If that is why I have to wonder why Geoff has not also been booted.
Not that I care one way or the other. One noisy member is easy enough to ignore.
But if that is why then it seems pretty clear that the rules are not applied to everyone.
Any mods who may be reading this please feel free to chime in and point out what is missing in this picture.
and he is dyslexic so not always easy to understand. That may have been part of the issue but he also has/had strong opinions.
Specific reason for banning him, would be better known by some long term moderators. '
I am been here for 23 years or so. Some interesting people have come and gone. In a way, it used to be more interesting here and without doubt, more active, at least in comparison to some other forums.

"I used to read some of his posts and he is dyslexic so not always easy to understand."I haven't read any of his posts on AA, but when I visited his website years ago I noticed misspelled words. I concluded that English must not have been his original language. Don't know about him being dyslexic, but that may be true.
