At least Dynaaudio Rules attempts to engage in some sort of debate. Fmak just fires off salvos of half baked ideas and when you try to engage him he responds with nothing but insults.
I'm done with responding to them. I may try to discuss something with him, but if he responds with one line put downs that will be the end of that one.
AbeCollins, care to join me?
This will be a better place if we just ignore his Fmaks.

I told you days ago that I was not replying to your posts. However, I shall do it once more for others to read.You belong to a small group whose egos are are such that you can insult an inmate first and then cry foul in a like-for like response. By and large, this small group of 4-5 consists of MAC audio users or promoters who post in ralay (as surrogates), by not responding to a post in person and using questionable 'logic' (in reality, complete lack of it) as a means of challenging the reponse.

LOL
So it is Apple users that are after you!!! I am glad Issac Newton did not suffer from the same paranoia...
interesting, that comment about Isaac Newton caused me to have a look at his history.

It is thought the apple incident never happened, but was invented by Voltaire.
Newton sufferred a paranoid episode in his 50's. He was a quarrelsome individual with few friends. It is thought that he suffered from Aspergers syndrome.
So all in all, he would have felt at home on a 21st C audiophile forum.

Don't know about the underlying reasons involving his psyche, but one thing is for sure, Sheep seem to have many friends...while individual thinkers tend to have fewer.
This thread is simply the case of a Sheep wanting to keep fellow sheep away from what it perceived as a threat to its ego. As we can see only a one or two signed up, so it appears AA has more individual thinkers than the sheep expected.

. . . that comment about Isaac Newton caused me to have a look at his historyBut not, sadly, at a worthwhile version of it. Though some of it is a bit silly, even the Wiki entry is way better than that nonsense from "Spooks".
Note that for every scientist or artist who ever slammed down a phone or fmak'd a colleague in a fit of petulance, there seems to be a psychologist on hand to claim that he or she had Asperger's Syndrome. (That's not to disparage Baron-Cohen's work on autism BTW.) I agree with you that, were it true in Newton's case, it would probably be the only trait he had in common with some on this forum.
More significantly, as one of the very finest scientists and mathematicians in history and as an innovative designer in optics, he would not have felt at all at ease on a forum such as this. He would I suspect have been baffled at best by the philistinism of many "audiophiles" when it comes to the disciplined investigation and measurement of phenomena they discuss at inordinate length and have scuttled quickly back to his alchemy texts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've seen that soooooooo many times, and the clique mentality usually goes right along with it. They are like a school of Piranha fish that take nips and jabs one by one and when you lash back run away crying foul. Usually on forums that ban people they do this and run to the mod with hops of getting you banned.

Lets not lose sight of the fact that a certain individual here will deliberately incite such heated exchanges. When the responses are intelligent and well thought out and said individual is at a loss, he disappears or tries to divert the conversation in another direction. When that doesn't work, he resorts to personal attacks and insults. That individual deserves what he gets.
At least YOU stick around for intelligent debate.
He on the other hand lacks the balls or intelligence to do so and resorts to insults and personal attack.... or he just disappears with no response only to pop up later with yet another jab to start another slug fest.

Sadly I loose a lot of debates...:-(
But its all in fun, I don't take things personal...even if its meant to be taken that way.

'I'm getting tired of him so I guess I'll just try ignoring him moving forward. Enough said'
For all to see.
I'm getting tired of him so I guess I'll just try ignoring him moving forward. Enough said.
I usually try to post a joke or a picture of him with his head up his ass as an attempt to dissuade him... But he usually can't understand the humor and probably cannot remove his head to see the picture. I really have not bothered lately (or hung around much) because it becomes too frustrating after a while when one is trying to have and intelligent discussion or even just to read one. Sometime even the simplest common sense escapes him... Everyone here is pretty normal, and enjoyable to chat with. It is fine to disagree, in fact often useful... But it is pretty clear that he is usually just senseless... Just an unhappy individual who want everyone to be miserable also... He will actually post something useful at times, but is so inconsistent who knows what to believe.... Such is life...
I would recommend he go on a very high fiber diet!!! I think we will all feel better for it...

...just ignore them. Don't respond to what they post, whether directed toward you or not.
The majority of forum members really don't care about personal spats. To the extent anyone does, they are usually perceptive enough to figure out which party is being the jerk (or if both are).
It is a mistake to make public announcements regarding your feelings toward another forum member. It just moves the dial for you toward jerk territory.
.
My actions lately could be pushing me into jerk territory
It seemed like a good point to draw a line in the sand and move forward as it really couldn't be any surprise to anyone following recent posts that it was turning into a pissing contest.
Hoping to put it behind me.

> > > > It just moves the dial for you toward jerk territory.
I agree!!!
Most everyone here already ignores someone anyway, no need to make public announcements recruiting people to ignore someone.

Good policy, bwb. It's worth applying to others who resort to insults and put-downs instead of facts and reason.
Replying to such posts isn't required so your policy can simply be your personal choice.

This place is not about trying to form cliques for or against anyone.

I don't see it completely that way.
My intent is not to gang up against anyone, it is an attempt to reduce the stupid exchanges that go nowhere.
I'm perfectly happy to interact with anybody here as long as they are willing to do that... interact. The problem with the recent exchanges are they go like this................
A. He who shall be nameless initiates or responds to a post
B. I respond that I disagree and give my reasons
C. He who shall be nameless responds that I am too ignorant to qualify for a response
D. it deteriorates from there
That has grown tiresome. I am not saying steps A and B should go away, I can't control step C but I simply refuse to be involved with step D
.
As more of less a causal observer/lurker, I'd even advocate for his banning, if there is such a thing on Audio Asylum. He's about as useful as a Hydrogen Audio boarder. Nothing but smug self-righteousness. I don't think I've ever found one of his posts to be illuminating or helpful to my understanding of or interfacing with computer audio. "fmak" exists essentially as board contrarian.

It sounds like you want to vote on lunacy!
