I know you've claimed to have won several web authoring awards in the past..
but most website developers who have commented did not deem your site "award

btw... which awards did you win? Who issued the awards?

Nope. I didn't. Michael LaFevre, the little Magnequest creep, wrote it
with his own dirty hands.
Below is his full post. The four examples of LaFevre's hysterical and
criminal abuse that I copied to RAT * is just a small random sample of
dozens, perhaps hundreds of similar abusive messages. I know
LaFevre/Magnequest has lost his biggest customer, Welborne, and some
smaller ones because of this obsession, and his sales and deliveries are
way off, but if he spends so much time abusing me, *when does he build
any transformers at all?*
Who in his right mind would buy even one transformer from a winder who
can send a journalist a letter like the one below?
Hands up anyone who doesn't think that a manufacturer who tells a
journalist to drink bull sperm is off his rocker. Hands up anyone who
doesn't think that someone who has behaved like LaFevre for more than a
year should be restrained for his own good.
Andre
* They are the messages headed:
Would you buy a used transformer from LaFevre of Magnequest?

Hi Larry,
Could you explain why "this is such an *obvious* fake"? The only change I
can see that Andre made, was to change the name Acrosound" to "Michael
LaFevre, Magnequest Transformers", which he clearly did so people would
know who "Acrosound" is. He should have added an "editors note" to
explain that change, but it doesn't seem like a big deal. Other than that
all those headers are exactly the same as the headers on the emails I
receive from Mike, and aren't fake, unless Mike himself is faking them,
but that doesn't make any sense.
Regards,
John Byrns

Oh, Andre... if only the piper had come back and paid your own capital plus

how many "MagneQuest Scum's" have been recorded and authored by that poisoned
pen manned by a named Dr. Andre Jute?
Save it for someone who really cares....

and what "journalist" would have inked all of the following nonsense?
check out a few "abuses" posted by "journalist" andre jute to this newsgroup.
Balls.
And enough of this crap. Answer the relevant substantive questions that your
evading. Everyone here already knows that I don't like you...
it has nothing to do with whether or not you have a PH D or whether or not you
have those three international patents.... that you claim on your website to
have.
So for starters... just give us the patent numbers and country of origin.
Complaining about whether or not someone called you a liar....
after your abuse of them in a public newsgroup for more than a year.... is just
an Andre escape mechanism....
so answer the questions please.

"Not quite. What I actually said, to save the manufacturer the cost of

have another cozy little chat on the phone with your hero, Michael
LeFevre, and discover how much he now wants you to withdraw your letter.
I don't think he wants expensive "friends" like you any more. You see,
he discovered, rather too belatedly for anyone to believe in his
intelligence, that trying to trade in my reputation for his profits is a
very expensive passtime with steeply escalating costs, and that he was
paying club memberships and greens fees for all the "friends" he wound
up to practice character assassination on me. So he ran away. But he's
still paying for all his expensive little "friends", like you, who fancy
themselves players from behind cowardly pseudonyms."
"You have until sunset tonight, my time, unconditionally to withdraw your
letter. If it is overcast, the sun will set early, so look lively."

You keep calling yourself a journalist??? Journalist of what? Where? When?
What is the Jute definition of "journalist" A filthy, bitter, jealous,
has-been, scumbag who has "FREE" phony WebPages and attacks decent honest
people who have accomplishments?
You wrote a few phony articles, but you got busted for lying, and running
your con-game. Where are all your other articles? Where is your book?
When are you going to give it up? Are we going to have to wait until they
haul you out of your shanty in a straight jacket.
You should reflect on your sick demented life, and ask yourself why are you
doing this? Is it too difficult to do an honest days work? Is it too
difficult to tell the truth?
How can you function when all you do is lie? How does it feel to know that
every person that you have any interaction with, knows you are a liar?
Everyone, everywhere you go.
How does it feel to be a worthless despicable excuse for a human?

Hey, Kev, I don't want to feud with anyone. I just want LaFevre and the
rest of the Magnequest Scum out of my face so that I can get on with
tubes.
All they have to do is stop hitting me, and they can have their lives
back.* If they have lives, of course. One must wonder if they do,
considering the amount of time they spend on demonstrating over and over
and over, ad nauseam, to an uncaring world that all they do with their
lives is hate me, so that tomorrow they can hate me some more.
I'm a liberal. I talk until the other guy hits me first. One of the
great liberals, Theodore Roosevelt, said, "Never hit first. Never hit
softly." It's a good rule. It really isn't my fault that the Magnequest
Scum are such appallingly slow learners.
Andre
*My peace offer has been on the table from day one: "Stop beating up on
me, and I shall carry no grudges." Considering the circumstances, it is
a truly generous offer. If you have any influence with LaFevre, you
should recommend acceptance to him before he does his business and
family more harm by hurling himself futilely against my ankles.

Yeah, but LaFevre has so many pseudonyms (remember "I M Jute" and "M I
Jute" and "Andy Burlap" and oh so many others of equal wit and
invention?), it wouldn't surprise me at all if he got confused between
his own multiple monickers, shields, hiding places, pseudonyms, con
covers and artificial personalities.
With all these names, LaFevre's personality must be getting so
fractured, even a cod psychologist like Pasternack should be able to
diagnose schizophrenia without being contradicted by an entire clutch of
first-year residents.
Anyway, the authorship of these letters is proven by the internal
evidence of street corner style (especially the poor grammar and the
glaring errors) and content, which match the spam that we daily see ad
nauseam from LaFevre on the public posts of RAT. They go further than
the crazed little man's public letters because he thought they would
never see the light of day.
Now that LaFevre has realized what he has done, he is backpedalling
madly, splitting hairs about an explanatory note I added to a header--in
*square brackets to indicate it is an editorial addition*. LaFevre's
wife, incidentally, is a professional editor, and LaFevre himself once
on the Joenet made a nastiness about square and round brackets, so you
can bet he knows the point of square brackets.
LaFevre is lying in his teeth. Again. Still. All the time.
He's scum, and scum will out. He has.

Andre Jute <an...@indigo.ie> wrote in message
How not to become a Timmie!
(Besides my novels, I write how-to books for other artists,
including standard references like Writing a Thriller which
Ruth Rendell described in The Times as 'a private godsend',
and about which others of you have been kind enough to write
me grateful notes. A few years ago I chaired an invitation only
meeting on 'How to protect yourself against fans and wannabes
over twelve hundred writers and illustrators sought invitations
and a scheduled single morning session was extended for
three full days and evenings, causing me to miss all the other
conferences. This is the draft of a chapter from my text book,
'How to be a Successful Wannabe', for which I got the idea
from recent correspondence on this board; a publisher loves
the idea, contracts are here, so here we go.
BE 'ANARTIST' WITHOUT EVER CREATING ANYTHING EXCEPT
DENUNCIATIONS OF YOUR LETTERS
I know one fellow who really wants to be an author Well,
actually, he'd like to be an artist of any kind. It doesn't
matter what sort. Understand, he doesn't have any creative
urge, or even ideas that itch for expression. what he really
wants to be is to be 'a somebody'. He's got this idea in his
head, perhaps because there were artists in his family,
perhaps because he sees pop intellectuals being interviewed
on the television, that artists are accorded respect beyond
that given to, say, council employees or accountants.
He wants to be an artist so badly, he has run the words
together, 'anauthor' .
Let's call him Timmie. Of course he has no talent. But that
is no inpediment to being 'anauthor' . Nor does he have the
discipline to write anything extended. But don't let that worry
you either. This chapter tells how even a Timmie can define
himself as an intellectual without the need ever to do any
intellectual work. First, get some kind of a career on the
fringes of the arts. Desktop publishing is good because you
can call yourself a graphic designer without bothering to be
trained or otherwise inform yourself. Public relations, especially
for television, is also good- Next, join some group where you
are likely to run into real intellectuals, preferably with achievements
to their name. Published books are good, as are plays, even musicals;
painters are okay but musicians insist on technical jargon that is a
bore to learn. Give architects a miss; most of them are unemployed
and unemployable. If you are short of ideas, check out Chapter 3
"Hanging Out Right, er,Left--PC Places and People"
Having chosen your forum, ingratiate yourself- Be a clown, tell jokes.
Don't for, god's sake, actually attempt any serious work; if and people
can use it to judge the quality of your mind, your career as an intellectual
will be finished before you have even started. Let it be known you
are working on a magnum opus but are too modest to let anyone see any
part of it. You will of course imply at every opportunity that one day the
world will be stunned by your brilliance.
After a while you will be a fixture. You will not have to prove that you
belong. Now, pick on some prominent fellow with real achievements.
Suck up to him with flattery before you launch your attack. Be absolutely
certain that there is no cause for the attack except your ambition; people
will be too embarrassed to point out you are acting from envy alone.
Above all you don't want to be involved in a real argument. The best sort
to pick on is someone too busy to fight back, preferably someone with
strong, consistent opinions- Dont for the time being attack the opinions,
instead pick on some personal aspect of the great man's feet of clay.
Does he lack modesty? Condemn him as a braggart. If he is modest,
attack him for hypocrisy. If he wears glasses, attack him for
shortsightedness. That is a good start.
Now demonstrate how ruthless you are by attacking without
provocation a member of his family, preferably a child. That should
frighten him badly enough to shut him up while you go your merry way.
If he is over thirty, attack him as 'an old tart' Now switch the attack.
If he has strong opinions, attack him for stubbornness. If he is always
reasonable, attack him for being indecisive.
If in selfdefense he makes an appeal to intellectual honesty in discourse,
immediately and repeatedly accuse him of being a snob.
You can pretend to find fault with his work. Read up some past criticism
bun don't get bogged down in serious argument. If he has solid achievement
it has survived criticism and you as a wannabe are by definition incapable
of bringing serious criticism of substantial work. The best compromise is
to find a set of criticisms so lightweight that the obvious lack of
enterprise is in itself an insult.
Tell a lot of brazen lies brazenly. Do not deign to argue the merits of
these lies when challenged. Simply think up some bigger lies and make new
charges. Or repeat old ones in slightly different words. Take a high moral
tone; claim to be making the charges as a public duty. Study the career of
Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister; Goebbels was the greatest
PR man of the century.
Make everything you say a personal insult. Nothing is more dangerous than
the facts. The minute you allow the facts to be discussed seriously, it will
become clear that you are in a card game where you haven't price of a
stake.
Now, of course sometimes you will pick badly and some intellectual
heavyweight will emerge languidly to maul your tender sensitivities. In
that case smile with boyish charm and say it was all a bit of a joke,
wasn't it. If he doesn't believe you, accuse him of lacking a sense of
humour.
Retire as gracefully as you can manage. Write a grovelling private letter
saying you were under stress because your mother is sick and you of
course apologize abjectly. Appeal to his decency to let it end right there.
That way you can survive to betray someone else upon another day.
Don't make the stupid mistake of attacking someone who has rolled
over you once a second time. Lie in wait for a softer touch. Sooner
or later you will find a weakling and you will by lying about him be able
to destroy his confidence. Then your name will be made. You will be
the man who destroyed X!s reputation. You will never have to do anything
so brow wrinkling and perspiration-breaking as creating something original.
For the rest of your life you can do what you are best at, pose as
something you are not.
CASE STUDY
Now let us take Timmie and spot the mistakes he made on the way to
perfection because he didn't buy my book and follow my rules precisely.
First, he picked on a fellow who had already demonstrated that he would
wipe his backside with impertinent snots. Next, the fellow Timmie picked on
has had so many careers, he cannot remember all his achievements
(he offers visitors an expanding rule to measure his hardcover first
editions
in shelf-feet, for instance) ; even a serious critical attack on some part
of
his work simply leaves him fall back on the prestige of the rest while he
brings the less than brilliant part up to scratch. This was insensitive of
Timmie. Wannabe artists must at least pretend to sensitivity, or if they
lack it be lucky enough not to be caught out this badly.
Timmie should have had the intelligence to pick on someone whose single
achievement or few achievements are treasured like children. It also helps
no pick on someone who doesn't already possess monumental self confidence.
Many artists of perfectly good achievement have poor self-image and they
are easier to reduce to snivelling wrecks.
Bad signs in your choice include high academic honours, high-level business
experience and competence; political experience; military experience;
sporting achievements at national or international level particularly in
contact sports but most especially in sports where people die like
auto-racing or competitive transocean yachting.
Don't let ambition lead you to fucking with someone utterly out of your
league, as it did to Timmie. You're not going to believe this: Timmie
picked on a guy to whom a government erected a statue in his own lifetime,
the most monumental confidence-builder imaginable. If by now you're
thinking Timmie is so stupid I must have made him up, believe me, I didn't.
he is real- And there are a multitude more like him out there. He's a
lowest. common denominator case.
Then Timmie picked on this heavyweight bruiser not once, but again after
he was warned off, three times in all. This is seriously stupid. You have
to finish the job the first time or give it up for good. Worse, he tried
his luck the last time after it had been cogently pointed out, and never
contested, that Timmie was acting purely from envy. Not too bright, our
Timmie, as you have already observed. But this is only where the nightmare
starts.
Next Timmie made the serious mistake of protesting too much. It became
quite clear that he was not acting from high-minded public duty but from a
desire to be precisely like the great man, or whatever his misconception of
this fellow was. He admitted as much through his attempts to vary his
attack. This is dumb. You must not try for literary excellence -if you had
any, you wouldn't be following this route--but ram the same simple message
home again and again.
Timmie made the appalling mistake of conceding that this fellow's
achievements were substantial and unassailable. Wrong! wrong
Wrong! A cleverer wannabe simply concludes that the works are in fact
assailable by someone of real talent but keeps quiet about it.
One trick all wannabes should learn before they try their luck is when to
shut up- Timmie was so impressed with his clever gush of meaningless
words he did not know there was a point where they would stop being
meaningless and start hurting him.
Timmie's list of criticisms was so slight they could not pass even as an
insult; it was too clear to everyone that he had tried hard and failed.
He made the worse mistake of panting eagerly to be thrown another titbit
from the table of the great man's creativity when the correct approach
would be avidly to devour in secret everything the great man made,
consumption to be announced only when serious shortcomings were
discovered. discreet secrecy otherwise to be maintained with a lofty
disinterest expressed publicly at every opportunity.
Timmie is of course a good argument for permitting genetic scanning
and abortion of fetuses too low on the food chain to be anything but
a burden on society, but even Timmie could have succeeded if only he
had followed rny guidelines carefully.
Don't be a smartass and end up like Timmie, a well-known arsehole
and butt of cocktail party sniggers, the original for the sneering
admonition
'Don't be such a Timmie. He used not to be invited because of his pushy
personality, now he is not invited because everyone knows he's a no-talent;
an arsehole and a three-time loser.
If you were smart enough to modify the rules you wouldn't need this book.
Trust me.

I don't think we're going to do business. I sent you a list of leading
names in audio who support the MAS project (Types 43-51), which is designed
as a showcase; that is an overwhelming reference by any standard. I won't
ask any individual owner of one of my custom amps for a reference for you
for reasons already explained. My custom amps have so far gone to people
who already knew that I deliver what I promise because they have other
business dealings with me as a writer, or with my book packaging and
graphic and ergonomic design firms, or they heard one of my amps at the
homes of people who do know me.
As for my resume, it is all over my netsite, on the other pages.
In audio particularly, I have no formal training; I am by training a
psychologist, economist and business administrator. I have written for many
years on classical music. In 1991 or 2 I decided my Bang & Olufsen sounded
chilling, got a pair of old Quad II to see if I liked tubes, checked into
generally available tube amps and found most of them were not as good as
the Quad II, and set out to learn enough electronics to build something
better. I'd done this before, in automobiles, and did it well enough to
license work to Chrysler, Porsche and VAG; some of my amp customers drive
cars I designed and either built or had built; I've done this in other
professions as well--another amp customer owns a racing yacht I designed
and built. A tube amp manufacturer for whom I had designed casework
discovered that I had modified his amp's electronics to sound better and
commissioned a new amp design from me, then more amp manufacturers
followed. People I could not afford to say no to came into my studio and
wanted copies of the amps I had designed for my own use. So I was in
business as a tube amp designer.
As for sending me thousands of dollars, I don't know you. You
will, if you decide to proceed, have to pay a third deposit with order,
another third when we have agreed the details and start work, and a final
third before we ship.
If you like the idea of one my amps why not wait until a manufacturer
licences one of the lesser designs in the series and you can buy it off a
shelf somewhere as
branded consumer goods.

Sure, that too. He said a lotta things. He was constitutionally
incapable of being silent or still, or lowering his voice, for that
matter.

Did you ever send the X-formers back?
Did Mike receive them?
Why don't you quote Winston Churchill, or Lady Astor?
You even might be able to get the quotes right.
That is ok, No one will be holding their breath.

I've asked you time and again, from which universities are your degrees?
When, and what are they?
We can stop this lible against you, if you let me know,
I'll verify this information and pass it along to R.A.T.
Then we can all breathe easier.

>>Hands up anyone who doesn't think that a >>manufacturer who tells a

or, rather, perhaps it should be lights out for your interpretation of the text
which you have presented to the group.
the relevant passage would appear to be
the following submitted to RAT from Andre Jute:
::it looks like the essence of the bull..... so go slurp
::it up and be sure to wipe your chin when your done.
Andre, in the text quoted above I don't see any mention of bull sperm
whatsoever. Where did you get this notion from?
The "essence" of the bull, I would have read as perhaps the "blood" of the
bull. Blood being essential to or, perhaps, the "essence" of the living beast.
Perhaps the author (whoever that might be) intended to demonstrate your thirst
for "blood" or "goriness" or "battle" and parody your often stated threats of
people meeting a violent end if they disagree or upset you in any way.
For example look at your rantings on March 7, 1999 on Rat. And I quote your
pen:
>If you keep rubbing me wrong, I'll take ten
>minutes a week to make you look ridiculous, and wipe whatever >advance you
made that week.
wiping the blood (the essence of the chosen victim) off your chin is a
"ridiculous" excercise... but prompted (I am just guessing) perhaps by remarks
like the above.
another display of your "bloodlust" might have been captured in this excerpt
from the same post;
>Trust me: I've been
>doing it for forty years, for half that time in places where the >losers face
a firing squad,
I guess establishing and maintaining supremacy can be a bloody line of work....
So... I would be quite interested in learning how you derived "bull sperm" from
the passage which you quote above.... when the context might be better
understood as "bloodletting"....
bloodthirst and bloodlusting seems to more aptly fit your style...
and with abandonment of any sense of decorum which you have shown on this group
(aren't you the person who posted this stuff to a public forum in the first
instance) ... one can well imagine your orgies of and violence and domination
to be both consuming and careless....
hence be sure to wipe your chin.

Close, but no cigar.
If Dr. Jute, inventor of 90 weight rear end grease, wanted to post an authentic
email header he could - the tools are available in Eudora. I'm not going to
tell him how.
However, it is only ASCII text and easily forged anyway. Andre's are obvious
though.

So do you have headers from Theodore Roosevelt's email too?

You guys just don't get it. Take the judgmental, incendiary comments onto
private channels. Is it the audience that makes it fun? Or what? This is a
technical forum and is being perverted by all of this bickering. I, too, have
my opinions on the goings-on, but I air them privately, not here.

Couldn't agree with you more, Kevin.
It's boring and tiresome.
When will we stop permitting the Magnequest Mob to turn our newsgroup
into a sewer?

Mr. Carter,
Do you feel that Mr. Jute is speaking for you when he says "WE" and "OUR" .
He certainly thinks he is.
Is he also be speaking for you when he posted this:
<<Me, I'm nobody, just a humble fellow. LaFevre
is the capo di capo tuti of the Magnequest Mob. He owns the Magnequest
Windery, which is centred around Mama Magnequest's Kitchen Table
Spaghetti Pullery. If you let on that you don't like his transformers,
he and the Magnequest Scum will come break your legs.>>
Is this your sentiment also. He must believe it is, but I think not.
Put yourself and the company you work for in the above paragraph, and all
the other Jute lies. Does this change your perspective a bit? For
something positive to happen here, honest people have to speak out and not
be afraid of this con-man. Then and only then will it be safe to enjoy this
news group, and our hobby.

Takes two to tango, Andre. Never argue with a fool - bystanders may not be able
to tell the difference.....
