In Reply to: What kind of respect do you hold for some of the musicians you love to listen to on your fine gear? posted by 2chJunkie on April 11, 2007 at 20:37:01:
Many of the most brilliant musicians, artists, and authors in modern history lived very "difficult lives". That should not colour our admiration of their genius. With all ddue respect, that is a silly question.

The all to busy and perfect Don places all the blame, and worse yet, lack of competence on the seller. I ask this…..If he were planning a little dinner date, why didn’t they exchange numbers from the get go? That way, should a bump in the road come up……
I can easily see how this person (seller) may have been on a line where there was no caller ID, AKA record of the number. Or maybe on the road and didn’t have a chance to enter the # in storage. Or at work too. We all have busy lives. Ive dealt with plenty of people who I trust who have lost numbers (myself included). It happens.
Or better yet, if Don has this great power of intuition, why didn’t he (what is common place for most) MapQuest the directions to the eatery in the first place??? Ive done many transactions where I didn’t feel confident in the persons directions, therefore to avoid the aforementioned hassle, I rework it myself. If only Don’s mighty instincts were up and runner sooner, he would have saved himself the 35 min, 6 mile trip to Mecca. Why was it the sellers duty to know every twist and turn Don had to make????
It all boils down to respect. Don sits here all high and mighty, accusing this guy of being completely in competent. As if he knows. Does Don know how to mod equipment???
Give me decency or give me a stiff drink….Sigh
If he were planning a little dinner date, why didn’t they exchange numbers from the get go?We did exchange numbers from the get go? He lost mine or something but I called him and gave them to him again. And he lost it again.
That was only the first strike - like I've said before it didn't bug me much nor did driving around for 35 minutes because of his bad directions.
The 2 messages, 3 calls to the front desk (in a period of a couple of minutes) and the onslaught (at least 4 more) calls to my desk while I was reviewing his previous messages upon my arrival in the office were the final straw.

I'm not accusing him of anything. But I am claiming that his actions were enough to diminish the confidence I had in his ability to the point of me question it.
Yea right - high and mighty me! As if I'm riding a high horse because I question and qualify those who make and/or modify audio equipment. That's what audiophiles are supposed to do! Geez - get a clue.
I am all for decency and stiff drinks.

Sounds good to me.
