Mr. Briggs, what does Jeff Adams say when you ask him: "Jeff, do you
treat fellow Christian Arny Krueger like a piece of
sh*t and let low-life like Middius and Zipser ride free?"

Oooops. Kryptonite! ;-)

I don't know. I haven't asked him.

But back to my question: why do you treat a fellow Christian with such
contempt?

>Oooops. Kryptonite! ;-)

I am a superman?

Yes, I suppose you're right.

Let me make myself perfectly clear: I completely and thoroughly
disapprove of George Middius' and Steve Ziper's style when they trash
you and others. I've said it before (yes, I know, not often enough to
please you) and I'm saying it again now. My understanding is that
since you are so provocative and rude so often (making it difficult to
hold a polite conversation with you), they have chosen to take a
different route - to instead try to shock you and others by often
saying things that I think are completely over the top and
unacceptable. IMO it's wrong and I wish they wouldn't do it.

You on the other hand have (if I recall correctly) publicly stated you
are essentially proud of your trolling and provocativeness. And that
you do these things intentionally to try to get people to look bad
when they (predictably) get angered by your behavior. So when people
behave poorly, who should be surprised? I'm not.

The commands that are supposed to govern our behavior include the
following: compassion, kindness, meekness, longsuffering, having
grace, rendering no one evil for evil, not quarrelsome, tranquil,
gentle, peaceable, merciful, self controlled, patient, truthful,
edifying, not to be bitter, wrathful, angry, to avoid clamor and
railing, to speak no guile, and the list goes on (over thirty
references based on a few hours of searching). That you often choose
to ignore these commands and behave in an entirely contrary fashion is
bewildering. And to anticipate your objection that I'm not following
these same commands, I have over a dozen more references that command
us to exhort/rebuke those that aren't behaving properly.

Mr. Adams please cite the spot in the Bible that says that ONLY
believers are to be exhorted and rebuked.

Mr. Adams, anybody who cares to study DN can see that That is exactly
your track record on RAO for at least the past year.

If you can't find a bible text that says that ONLY believers are to
be exhorted and rebuked, then it is clear that you are making up
doctrine to suit your own cowardice and to obtain favor in the sight
of others who you want to please more than you want to please God.

> Let me make myself perfectly clear: I completely and thoroughly

Then show that you've got the (spiritually speaking of course)
"balls" to deal with THEM.

Ooops. Kryptonite!

>I've said it before (yes, I know, not often enough to please you)
and I'm saying it again now.

I agree Mr. Adams, you are very repetitive and predictable, not to
mention obviously way to fearful of the predictable results that
would befall you were you to wage the larger war on the larger
misdeeds.

Mr. Adams, your understanding is no doubt what they tell you.

It's a very convenient understanding because it is so very safe and
convenient for you. It allows you to please them who are obviously
more important to you than pleasing God.

Mr. Adams, were Deja News intact I could show you that I crept into
RAO on little cat's feet. What you see of me today is simply a matter
of dealing with a group of people in the language and manner that
they seem to best understand.

If you were to open your eyes you would find that I post in over 100
other NG's quite nicely and with very little conflict. Why is that,
Mr. Adams?

> You on the other hand have (if I recall correctly) publicly stated

> are essentially proud of your trolling and provocativeness.

It's just a matter of speaking "Greek" to "Greeks". Furthermore, I
don't descend to their depths or even your depths, Mr. Adams. if you
didn't gratuitously and spontaneously come in and try to put sticks
in my eyes I would be very happy to speak with you very nicely about
audio.

At this time there is no person who has helped more newbies with
audio problems on RAO than I. There is no person who has made more
purely technical posts than I. There is no person who has spoken out
more against the evil and evil-doers on RAO and in the world than I.
There is no person who has not worked more frequently, honestly and
sincerely than I to mediate misunderstandings.

If you can't prove otherwise, Mr. Adams, then admit the truth. I do a
lot of good around here and your major claim to fame on RAO is how
you publicly attack and try to humiliate someone you claim is a
fellow Christian.

I often seriously doubt that you are truly a Christian based on your
behavior, Mr. Adams.

Based on your behavior Mr. Adams you could easily be a sock-puppet
manipulated by an atheist or agnostic who knows a little Bible and
some "church-speak".

> And that
> you do these things intentionally to try to get people to look bad

Mr. Adams it now seems clear that you believe that all the lies by
Mr. Zipser, Middius, etc. are all my fault. You are sadly deceived.

I can't make a person look bad against their will.

If I want to make someone look bad I have to do that based on their
previous actions.

I can't make people spontaneously look bad.

They do it to themselves.

Of course the same basic principals apply to me.

>So when people behave poorly, who should be surprised? I'm not.

You and Pilate are equally convincing at the hand-washing game, Mr.
Adams.

Now, Mr. Adams just show us that passage in the Bible that says that
believers are ONLY supposed to "exhort and rebuke" other believers,
which is exactly your track record on RAO!

If you can't, you just might want to ask your pastor to help you...

Arnii, you seem to be having trouble understanding this discussion: guys
like me are already set up for punishment--I don't believe in God,
therefore I'm going to Hell. You do believe in God (supposedly) and
have probably already lied to people and told them you'll be going to
Heaven. It would seem that this lying and hypocrisy--which you've
already admitted to--is what Mr. Adams is objecting to. I don't blame
him for being perturbed: you make Christianity look like an incredible joke.

There are passages relating to both. So, what's your point? You'd like
me to exhort and rebuke the others more? I'll take it under
advisement. In the mean time, I will assume you agree that my
exhortation/rebuke to you is _not_ in fact "treating you like a piece
of sh*t" but that it is proper.

Very odd logic. You can do your own study, but you will find quite a
number of passages that are to believers to exhort believers.
Therefore my exhortation/rebuke is proper. I'm not making up that
doctrine. Whether or not there are other passages for believers to
exhort non-believers is irrelevant to whether my actions were proper
with regards to you.

I'll deal with THEM as I see fit. I apologize again if it doesn't suit
you.

You have no idea of what I may or may not be fearful of. I suggest you
quit trying to read my mind. I on the other hand am dealing with
mountains of evidence (your own written words here). The facts are
clear here.

It's what I see on the group and what they've occasionally said on the
group. So what do you say about your behavior?

>convenient for you. It allows you to please them who are obviously

Again I would politely ask you to quit trying to read my mind or guess
who I'm trying to please. You don't know.

Why do _you_ think they behave the way they do?

>Mr. Adams, were Deja News intact I could show you that I crept into
>RAO on little cat's feet. What you see of me today is simply a matter

What we see here is that as you taunt, troll, and provoke, people
respond in a predictable manner. What do you have to say about your
behavior? Is it proper or improper?

>If you were to open your eyes you would find that I post in over 100
>other NG's quite nicely and with very little conflict. Why is that,
>Mr. Adams?

I couldn't tell you. Perhaps you taunt. troll, and provoke less on
those groups. It also tells me that you let other people control your
behavior here if you are unable to be polite here but are able to be
polite elsewhere. Why is that Mr. Krueger?

>> You on the other hand have (if I recall correctly) publicly stated

>

>It's just a matter of speaking "Greek" to "Greeks".

Is that a yes? It sounds like a "yes". You aren't seriously trying to
tell me that you think it's OK to be rude, taunting, provocative,
etc., just because someone else acts these ways towards you?

>Furthermore, I
>don't descend to their depths or even your depths, Mr. Adams. if you

I don't have any audio questions right now. I just have questions
about how you can defend or justify your behavior here. Since you've
essentially agreed that there are passages regarding rebuking
believers, I find it very odd that you would consider it "descending
to my depths" to follow a Biblical command. Very very odd logic.

I've never denied that you do good here. I said it in a previous post
and you quoted it, so I know you read it. That's not what I'm
attempting to discuss with you.

>If you can't prove otherwise, Mr. Adams, then admit the truth. I do a

>lot of good around here...

You often help people out. You often say a lot of truthful things.
Again, I've never denied it and I said that in a previous post. That's
not the issue here.

>and your major claim to fame on RAO is how
>you publicly attack and try to humiliate someone you claim is a
>fellow Christian.

No, the issue here is that you regularly behave in a ways that are
decidedly un-Christian and they are extremely offensive to me and a
lot of other people. That's a simple fact proven by the dozens of
commands I've referred to earlier. You're simply wrong. Your behavior
is biblically indefensible. That's my issue with you. Period.

>I often seriously doubt that you are truly a Christian based on your
>behavior, Mr. Adams.

My exhortations/rebukes to you are easily defensible on biblical
grounds. Your behavior (the objectionable stuff) is not. No way, no
how. That's why I object so loudly. I recommend you quit trying to
deflect my rebukes and take them to heart like a wise man should.

Pardon me but you have stated right here on RAO before that you say
things in hopes of getting people to behave poorly (or words to that
effect - this is not meant to be a direct quote). Do you deny this?

>I can't make a person look bad against their will.
>
>If I want to make someone look bad I have to do that based on their
>previous actions.

What? If you walk up to a stranger and tell them that their Mother is
ugly, and they deck you, did them decking you have anything to do with
their previous actions? When you intentionally provoke people, they
often respond poorly. Some people are able to hold their tongue longer
than others. For those who erupt, shame on them, they are responsible
for their own actions. But the greater shame, IMO, is on you for doing
something you should know better not to do.

>I can't make people spontaneously look bad.

False, as shown above.

Bad logic as explained earlier. Both types of commands are in the
Bible. Therefore my exhortations/rebukes to you are proper, as are my
exhortations/rebukes to others. Again, I apologize if you don't like
the ratio.

>If you can't, you just might want to ask your pastor to help you...
>;-)

So, then, do you or do you not accept responsibility and admit that
you regularly sin here by provoking, taunting, twisting arguments,
being rude, not admitting fault when proven to be at fault, etc? You
have gone to a lot of trouble to (from what I can tell) avoid
answering the question (and to instead try to focus on me).

If on the other hand you feel you have answered the question, then I
apologize. It surely wasn't very clear at all based on all the
deflecting you were doing.

Look a mirror some time. It might help. Then again if it hasn't

Do you think HypocratBorg was trolling deeply? If a Rational had
carelessly replied, thinking Mr. Sack had written what it looks like
he intended to write, Arnii could then say, "See! You guys always
blame me for starting everything, but this time I was telling the

Seldom in my travels has the quantity *all* (as in the entirety,
the whole, a hundred percent, or the big Kahuna) been rendered as
"no small part". I suppose this is the kind of thing that
happens when you try to play "the debating trade" with
HairSplitterNitPickerHypocratBorg.

Or you could presume that the sentence was consistent in intent with
the rest of the paragraph. Nahh, that would get in the way of trying

Must be an awfully slow weekend down there... Try listening to some

Sure I have. Perhaps you didn't read very carefully.

>You really don't get the word hypocrite, do you, Jeff?

You haven't proven a single instance of such. You chose to ignore this
post, just as you did my other post that dealt with your empty claims
of hypocrisy on my part. My logic was plain, clear, and simple. Yours
was tortured and difficult to comprehend.

What is it that won't allow you to see or admit that your behavior is
often very poor? And that your poor behavior is a large part of the
problem around here? And that your poor behavior is what brings on no


small part of the grief you receive from people here?

I have used clear language to patiently, politely, and truthfully
explain to you (with detailed references) how and why you are in
error. Your responses have not shown the maturity I would expect for
someone your age.

>Look a mirror some time. It might help. Then again if it hasn't
>helped by now, whose to say it ever will?

This isn't about me, it's about you. Can you at least understand that
much of what I'm trying to get across? I attempt to communicate this
message to you something like once a year. If there were anything
sinful about my attempts to exhort/rebuke you (and that's a big "if"),
then that would mean that I commit that sin something like once a
year. On the other hand, you sin multiple times a week as you interact
with those you don't like (and sometimes those you barely know or
don't know at all). You need to stop. You are in deep, serious error
and denial. You need to read books written by some of the great saints

This is either deceptive or just plain ignorant. I make a policy of
not denying my responsibility for part of the problems here. However,
by giving comfort and solace to major reprehensible offenders in your
attacks on me, I don't think you are exactly doing the right thing.

What would Jesus do? I think he'd attack reprehensible behavior where
he saw it. He would obviously not be as deceived as you are.

Obviously you can't see that, Mr. Hypocrite. That's a key failing of
hypocrites.

You lie Mr. Hypocrite. I responded, you just didn't like the
response.

Where have I heard that claim before?

Obviously Mr. Hypocrite your plain, clear and simple logic is more
important to you than any number of holy directives from the lips of
my savior to act against reprehensible behavior where it exists.

>Yours was tortured and difficult to comprehend.

Where have I heard that claim before?

Obviously Mr. Hypocrite you are deceived by the prince of human
logic.

> What is it that won't allow you to see or admit that your behavior
is often very poor?

This question has been answered many times in a fashion that asking
it is deceptive, Mr. Hypocrite.

> And that your poor behavior is a large part of the problem around
here?

My Hypocrite, your logic is flawed on the grounds of the facts of
history:

(1) The history of RAO is that it was a very poorly behaved place
while I lurked here and did not post.

(2) Prior to the loss most of the DN database I verified that RAO was
a very poorly behaved place before I even knew it existed.

(3) RAO remains a very poorly behaved place in my absence which
happens at least once a year.

Furthermore I don't have general behavior problems when I post in
over 100 other newsgroups. Most of the primary villains (who you
absolve and ignore) in this place overwhelmingly post only here.
Frankly, I think they like the place just as it is with maybe one
little detail. They'd like to silence me because many of my comments
make their heads hurt by obliging them to think.

> And that your poor behavior is what brings on no small part of the
grief you receive from people here?

Mr. Hypocrite as usual your claims are falsified by the record of
history.

For example the vendetta between Mr. Zipser and Mr. Brian McCarty
existed long before I ever posted or even lurked here.

The attacks of Mr. Zipser and Mr. Sanders on Gene Steinberg and his
counter attacks existed long before I ever posted or even lurked
here.

The rancorous dispute between Mr. Zipser and Mr. Nousiane existed
long before I ever posted or even lurked here.

Mr. Ferstler's difficulties are largely independent of whether I
support or deny him.

Mr. Zipser and Mr. Middius frequently abuse and attack many people on
RAO besides me and many times do so independently of any comments I
might make or have made on the topic they are discussing.

I was asked to visit this place by several people who were ongoing
targets of vicious and ongoing attacks by Mr. Zipser, Mr. Sanders,
and a certain Mr. Derrida who no longer posts here, at least under
that name.

> I have used clear language to patiently, politely, and truthfully
> explain to you (with detailed references) how and why you are in
> error.

Mr. Hypocrite, repeated gratuitous attacks that are phrased in
polite language remains hostile acts. You are guilty of doing exactly
that.

The language and claims that I use to defend myself from Mr. Zipser,
Mr. Sanders, Mr. Middius, Mr. Phillips, "Felix" etc. is generally far
more polite and truthful than theirs.

Nevertheless I'm not such a hypocrite as you are and I won't claim
that somehow this totally justifies and absolves me.

>Your responses have not shown the maturity I would expect for
someone your age.

Your attacks are not what I would expect from a person who claims to
have the beliefs you claim. Your obsession with me as demonstrated by
the fact that for about a year I am essentially the only topic of
your RAO personal attacks, is not characteristic of a mature person.


> >Look a mirror some time. It might help. Then again if it hasn't
helped by now, whose to say it ever will?

> This isn't about me, it's about you.

Mr. Hypocrite, it is always about all of us. Everytime you say "This
isn't about me, it's about you." you clearly demonstrate your
self-deceit and hypocrisy.

> Can you at least understand that much of what I'm trying to get
across?

Mr. Hypocrite what you may deceive yourself into thinking you are
trying to get across and the clear message you send me appear to be
two different things.

Mr. Hypocrite the fact that you attack just me while justifying the
far more repressible acts of others is one of your sins.

Mr. Hypocrite, you are also lying, presuming that you are mentally
competent and have a normal memory.

Mr. Hypocrite you have attacked me on more than just one occasion in
the past year:

covers 3 separate periods where you were attacking me.

Mr. Hypocrite if that were the extent of my sinning I would be very

Mr. Hypocrite I need to do what I fell led to do, even if due to my
human imperfections I happen to sin while doing it.

>You are in deep, serious error and denial.

Mr. Hypocrite what is unclear about my various admissions of sinful
behavior?

Does Mr. Middius not bring them up often enough for you to remember
them?

> You need to read books written by some of the great saints of the
past.

Mr. Hypocrite, are you so presumptuous as to think that you somehow
know what I read or have read?

Mr.Hypocrite, I know that I am frequently wrong because that's the
nature of my work.

I have admitted that I was wrong more often than any other person on
RAO.

OTOH, given how much I post that is correct, polite, helpful,
insightful and represents a unique but relevant viewpoint, my batting
average just isn't that bad. I've been praised by newbies in the
past fore being the only person who would take the time to give them
an honest, sincere answer.

The people who blame their own personal failings on me, have said on
many occasions that they want to put an end to all that.

Mr. Hypocrite, I guess you think they have a good idea because your
discussions with them w/r/t their reprehensible behavior are
conspicuous by their absence.

Oh please. I am not "giving comfort and solace" as you suggest. This
started out with a very simple exhortation for you to apologize for
your error regarding Paul's training. When you squirmed and wiggled
and said the strangest things about how you didn't really owe him an
apology, things began to break down. I don't consider someone who will
blame just about anything and anyone else for why he receives so much
abuse as taking responsibility. If you would communicate in a clear
fashion, perhaps this could have gone more smoothly.

>What would Jesus do? I think he'd attack reprehensible behavior where
>he saw it. He would obviously not be as deceived as you are.

What am I deceived about? What does what someone says to you or how
someone treats you have to do with how you are commanded to behave? Do
you not understand the concept of loving your enemies and not repaying
evil with evil?

On the one hand you seem to admit to the fact that you sin. But yet
you justify your lousy behavior when pressed. It is this dichotomy
that I can not sort out. Why don't you spell out what you think is OK
for you to do and what you think is not OK? You've said you don't have
to apologize for an error you made regarding your statement about
Paul's training. I have no idea how you justify that. You apparently
don't think you sinned at all when you made your famous statement
about Paul's associate's obituary (you even reference it later). You
think it's OK to taunt and provoke. You take pride in your ability to
troll. Color me confused. Just what do you think _is_ sinful? What
exactly are you taking responsibility for? It's great to say you take
responsibility for your behavior, but when called on things, you say
you've done nothing wrong. It's all very confusing to me.

You haven't proven any sin yet, or any hypocrisy yet. Why do you

No, I'm sorry, but you didn't respond to this post until just now. My
newsreader shows this response dated 11/4/00 at 8:52pm Pacific time.
And I still haven't seen a response to the post I'm talking about (the
one where I show you have proven absolutely no hypocrisy) in the
thread titled "Simply trying to get an answer". So I would be pleased
if you didn't call me a liar.

It's always back to me again, isn't it? Your behavior is often
reprehensible, but rather than admit to it and change, you try to
twist things around.

Still no hypocrisy proven. Sorry. And see above - you say something
about taking responsibility and at the same time continue the same
behavior week in and week out, denying specific instances of it when
called on it. That's not taking responsibility.

That's all very interesting and probably true. It doesn't change the
fact that your behavior creates enormous amounts of problems here. It
doesn't change the need for you to change your ways, regardless of
whether the place continues to be a cesspool without your poor
behavior.

>Furthermore I don't have general behavior problems when I post in

Please stop the lying right now. It turns my stomach and you should be
ashamed of yourself. I clearly denounced the behavior of the "primary
villains" in a post you yourself quoted, so I know you read it.

Maybe you didn't read what I wrote carefully. I said you bring on a
lot of the grief you get yourself. I didn't say a word about other
people's vendetta's in the above statement.

So you see this may all be true, but doesn't change what I actually
wrote: that you bring on the grief you receive in part due to your
lousy behavior.

You have proven no such thing. I am following biblical commands to
rebuke you. The fact that you see it as hostile is not my fault, nor
is it a sin on my part. You really don't understand this, do you?

>The language and claims that I use to defend myself from Mr. Zipser,
>Mr. Sanders, Mr. Middius, Mr. Phillips, "Felix" etc. is generally far

It's not a sliding scale. I readily admit you don't often if ever use
the "bad words" they do, but you taunt and provoke, insult, etc. Not
acceptable behavior.

>Nevertheless I'm not such a hypocrite as you are and I won't claim
>that somehow this totally justifies and absolves me.

So stop then. Does this mean you admit that taunting, provoking,
intentionally angering, etc., <and by all means, fill in the etc. so
we can be perfectly clear> is unacceptable? I really don't know what
you're saying you think is bad. You say you aren't totally absolved.
So what is it that you think you do that's bad? Lay it out plainly.

You seem bound and determined to call biblical exhortations and
rebukes "personal attacks". We've had this problem before.
Exhortations and rebukes are biblical. Period. You don't like being on
the receiving end. I understand that. That doesn't make it "bad". I'm
sorry. And I would hardly call rebuking you once every year or so "an
obsession". That's actually pretty funny!

You yourself said I don't post here very often. If I don't post, I'm
not a part of the problem of your lousy behavior on a week-to-week
basis. I am not deceived when I watch you behave poorly and then
occasionally choose to try to get you to admit to a specific incident.

I haven't justified anyone else's "far more repressible acts". Please

denounced their behavior. How can you write such blatant lies?

It appears to me that this boils down to one simple thing:

Arny used the phrase, "... the obituary mentions ...". He said:

"It really says something when Paul Bamborough's coworker's
widely-published eulogy mentions what an irascible a-hole Paul
Bamborough was and apparently still is, some 20 years later"

The key word in the above is "mentions".

I think to many if not most people, this suggests that, somewhere in
the text of the obituary, it _mentions_ (or _says_ if you prefer) that
Paul B. is an a-hole. In other words "mentions" doesn't imply an
interpretation or opinion, it means that those words are actually
used. I think it's clear to just about everyone that Arny isn't fond
of Paul, so I don't think there's much surprise that Arny would
interpret the obit that way. And the way I read this thread, Paul
isn't objecting to what Arny's interpretation may or may not be. He's
simply relying on the notion that "mention" means the words appeared
somewhere in the obit.

-------------- end post

This was an extremely objective, neutral assessment of what happened.
I made a simple observation of the facts.

So we can strike this one.

OK, that's fine, but you made an assertion in your post to Marc Blank

No attack here. I stated my understanding of a passage. I guess you
disagree, but I can't really tell from what you wrote in the above

And in case you didn't notice, that's about a year ago (Dec 1999).

><An attack by Jeff Adams on Arny Krueger on 9/3/1999>

First, this post is over a year old, so, this validates my claim of
not having commented on your poor behavior for something like a year.
Nothing more needs to be said.

>Mr. Hypocrite, that goes back just a little more than a year, and
>covers 3 separate periods where you were attacking me.

Sorry, no hypocrisy. I said it had been something like a year, and
sure enough, the post on 9/31/99 is over a year ago. The preceding
post was around 11 months ago (also close to a year), but wasn't an
attack but rather a difference of opinion. And finally, the post from
July of this year was a simple statement of events. I didn't even take
sides, I just pointed out to Gene why Paul was annoyed. If you take
that as an "attack", you're extremely paranoid.

What is unclear is that you make vague statements about sinful
behavior, but when called on sinful behavior, you deny it. So, spell
it out for us. What is sinful behavior to you? Give a few examples.

I have no idea what you've read. I can only base my statement
regarding your need to read the great saints on your sinful behavior
(i.e., that if you have, it doesn't show). Please recommend some
titles.

Great, as I've said before, you have a lot to offer when you behave
this way. It's your nasty style when dealing with those you dislike

LOL! You are just being deceptive again. The paragraph stared out
talking about your recent lies and deceptions. By not answering it,
you are showing that my claims about it are true.

> your error regarding Paul's training.

Interesting deception.

Here is my original claim:

http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=686808563

"I'll be charitable and say that people like John Atkinson and Paul
Bamborough are just casualties of the fact that a person can get a EE
or any number of good jobs in audio without any training in the
design of subjective experiments, psychoacoustics or perceptual
psychology."

Let's look at this statement. It has a list of 3 items:

(1) design of subjective experiments

(2) psychoacoustics

(3) perceptual psychology

The logical connection between them is the word "or".

So their logical form is "Design of subjective experiments" OR
"psychoacoustics" OR "perceptual psychology"

However they are preceded by a word that negates the logic"without".

Therefore the form of the claim is "not or".

Now anybody who knows any combinatorial logic knows that "not or" =
"and".

Therefore to satisfy the claim, a person has to have training in
"design of subjective experiments" AND "psychoacoustics" AND
"perceptual psychology"

Mr. Bamborough listed his qualifications as follows:

http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=687904776

"I have a degree in Experimental Psychology and Physiology from
Oxford University, and six years postgraduate work in cognitive and
perceptual psychology at Harvard and Oxford."

Therefore, Mr. Bamborough claimed he has training in:

"cognition" AND "perceptual psychology".

Since "cognition AND perceptual psychology" is not the same as in
"design of subjective experiments" AND "psychoacoustics" AND
"perceptual psychology" Mr. Bamborough has not falsified my claim.
Now I'm not saying that he can't falsify my claim, but he clearly had
a free choice of words and taking his words at face value, he has not
yet falsified my claim. Mr. Bamborough seems to have a great
reputation as a wordsmith, so we can only presume that he said
exactly what he meant to say when he apparently intentionally chose
not to falsify my claim.

>When you squirmed and wiggled
> and said the strangest things about how you didn't really owe him
an
> apology, things began to break down.

Mr. Bamborough has not falsified my claim Mr. Hypocrite. Yet you are
accusing me like he had. More proof of your lies and hypocrisy,
right?

>I don't consider someone who will
> blame just about anything and anyone else for why he receives so
much
> abuse as taking responsibility.

I have shown that clearly and logically, and based on the face value
of Mr. Bamborough's words, there is no blame to take.

> If you would communicate in a clear
> fashion, perhaps this could have gone more smoothly.

When people intentionally lie about events, such as you have just
done Mr. Hypocrite, there is little that I can do.

Now, lets take a recent event that you have blamed on me Mr.
Hypocrite:

Please formally justify this post point by point, using whatever
means you will, since you seem to think that I caused it, Mr.
Hypcrite and Liar.

Mr. Hypocrite and Liar, one way we show love for people is to help
them with their problems. One way we help people with their problems
is to point them out to them. You seem to think that only Christians
deserve that benefit. Where does the Bible say that we are only
supposed to love our enemies if they are Christians?

> On the one hand you seem to admit to the fact that you sin.

Mr. Liar and Hypocrite, I "Seem to admit to the fact that (I) sin"?
LOL. You obviously don't read any posts by Mr. Middius or Mr. Dormer.
They seem to be able to quote me admitting to sin at the drop of a
hat. They do it early and often. If they can do it, why can't you?

Mr. Liar and Hypocrite, the only person around here I see
specifically denying sinful behavior is you!

>But yet you justify your lousy behavior when pressed.

I don't justify it, I admit to it and explain it.

>It is this dichotomy that I can not sort out.

Mr. Liar and Hypocrite, that is because you are badly mislead, as I
have now repeatedly shown.

> Why don't you spell out what you think is OK for you to do and
what you think is not OK?

Way too big of a task when I am forced to deal with Liars and
Hypocrites who don't admit to their lies and hypocrisy.

That error has not been proven, as I showed with clear and simple
logic.

> I have no idea how you justify that.

Thusfar, no need. If you consider how long it took for Mr. Bamborough
to reply to repeated simple questions about his training, (he was
dodging and weaving days before you asked your simple question Mr.
Liar and Hypocrite) I fail to see even less need for any kind of
correction.

>You apparently
> don't think you sinned at all when you made your famous statement
> about Paul's associate's obituary (you even reference it later).

I think that I have a right to read text and take it at face value
and use it with past experience to form an opinion. BTW, I hold that
opinion to this very day, Mr. Liar and Hypocrite.

> You think it's OK to taunt and provoke.

Mr. Liar and Hypocrite I'm waiting for a voluminous "Mea Culpa" from
you on the subject of your nearly 2 year record for taunting and
provoking me.

>You take pride in your ability to troll.

On RAO that is a life's skill! ;-) Besides what is trolling? It is
just the offering of a topic for conversation.

>Color me confused. Just what do you think _is_ sinful?

A list of things too long to mention here. However, sinful activity
is partially dependent on circumstance. RAO is as I have repeatedly
shown a peculiar circumstance, so therefore we have a peculiar
definition of sin around here.

> What exactly are you taking responsibility for?

Unlike the sinful people whose hands you wash Mr. Liar and Hypocrite,
everything I do whether you know about it or not.

>It's great to say you take responsibility for your behavior, but
when called on things, you say

Mr. Liar and Hypocrite, please disprove my claim that I've admitted
to more errors on RAO than any other person.

LOL!

Because Mr. Liar and Hypocrite, this is not just about me, it is
about all of us, even you!

Where does God say that only Christians need to be accountable for
their sins? Where is it written in the Bible that only Christians
should be corrected when they make mistakes? I've challenged you on
this point and you seem to be dodging it.

No Mr. Liar and Hypocrite it comes down to all of us! You have lied,

Mr. Liar and Hypocrite I have simply counted up the times that you

number that was 3 or more times what you claimed was the truth.

Exactly. Human logic is flawed. It is not conclusive proof for

Again Mr. Liar and Hypocrite you again respond deceptively by not
answering my primary claim that I have answered the question about my
admissions about my behavior.

I only deny things that I feel justified in denying. I admit to
failings that I know I have. I admit to far more personal failings
than you do Mr. Liar and Hypocrite. You deny failings that I have
conclusively shown that you have. Therefore my admissions are likely
to be more representative than yours.

>That's not taking responsibility.

That's what you do, Mr. Liar and Hypocrite. You don't take
responsibility and you public wash the hands of other reprehensible
individuals. I conclude that to do this you have to suppress the
leading of the scriptures and the Spirit, which raises the question
in my mind as to whether you are really and truly a Believer. I
could not bring myself to do what you do. Period.

Mr. Liar and Hypocrite is key information that IS true. You are again
being deceptive. For all I know you have been reading and posting on
RAO going back further than I.

amounts of problems here.

Prove it!

Mr. Liar and Hypocrite I have shown conclusively (lack of HARD
evidence due to events out of my control) that this place has been a
cesspool regardless of my behavior good or bad. You try to bob and
weave around these simple facts. Therefore you are being deceptive
and I have again shown that you are lying and acting like a
hypocrite.

Mr. Liar and Hypocrite, your "clear enunciations" are extremely rare
and gently stated, frequently hidden away in attacks on me. Why don't
you try to show that you have denounced Mr. Zipser, and Mr. Middius
as often and with the vigor that you have denounced me?

LOL!

>I said you bring on a lot of the grief you get yourself. I didn't
say a word about other people's vendetta's in the above statement.

Mr. Liar and Hypocrite, I can show a direct connection between Mr.
Zipser's reprehensible attack on me (now proven to be largely lies)
and a time where I challenged Mr. Zipser based on his reprehensible
past behavior. Now, did I bring the additional lies on myself by
challenging him about his past lies? I would be stupid to say
otherwise. Nevertheless I brought that on myself because "Good
Christians" like you are tongue-tied. If you were doing your job and
attacking Mr. Zipser as aggressively as I have, you would no doubt
"suffer" as I did. I think you lack the moral courage to take those
kinds of risks. Being a Christian is being a risk if one confronts
lies and reprehensible behavior in people Like Mr. Zipser and Mr.
Middius. Yes, if one tries to show them the errors of their ways one
runs a high risk of "bringing it on yourself". But Mr. Liar and
Hypocrite that is something that I think I should do as a Christian.

So, to summarize, when I say that I bring these things on myself I am
simple showing an ounce of insight to the natural outcome of honest,
sincere acts that I feel my FAITH demands of me. I am not admitting
to a general fault.

Its not necessarily my lousy behavior, the cause is often behavior
that I believe is demanded by my FAITH. In short Mr. Liar and
Hypocrite, much of what you are accusing me of is just me living out
my Christian faith, which I happily plead guilty to.

I keep piling the proof on Mr. Hypocrite and you keep your blinders
on, living in denial of the obvious.

> I am following biblical commands to rebuke you.

Mr. Liar and Hypocrite, it is clear to me that you are in the
vernacular "Too Chickensh*t" to follow far more prevalent biblical
commands to rebuke sin where ever it is. You obviously practice
selective reading of The Bible. Instead of being a light to the
world, you spread darkness among Christians.

>The fact that you see it as hostile is not my fault, nor

Not understanding suggests a fault. My perceptions of your behavior
Mr. Liar and Hypocrite are not faulty.

Mr. Liar and Hypocrite many of my taunts and provoking relate to the
fact that they frequently lie and deceive. I have a responsibility to
confront that kind of behavior when I see it. You have no track
record for doing much of that at all. Therefore, you are falling down
on your responsibilities as a Christian. Furthermore you compound
your sins of omission with a very conscious sin: accusing a Christian
of Wong doing when he is just confronting evil.

> >Nevertheless I'm not such a hypocrite as you are and I won't claim
> >that somehow this totally justifies and absolves me.

> So stop then.

Mr. Liar and Hypocrite, I decline to stop taunt, provoke and insult
people who are in the midst of deceiving and just plain out-and-out
lying.

> Does this mean you admit that taunting, provoking, intentionally
angering, etc., <and by all means, fill in the etc. so
> we can be perfectly clear> is unacceptable?

Not when that taunting, provoking, intentionally angering, etc.
relates to people who are lying or deceiving or are trapped in the
lies and deceptions of others.

>I really don't know what you're saying you think is bad.

Its really between me and God, and not between me and you at all.

>You say you aren't totally absolved.

Huzzah, you can read!

> So what is it that you think you do that's bad? Lay it out plainly.

I make mistakes. That's what I do that is bad.

Easy to do when it is easy to show that they are based on a very
selective reading of the Bible!

>We've had this problem before.

No, Mr. Liar and Hypocrite YOU'VE had this problem before.

> Exhortations and rebukes are biblical. Period.

Thank you. Now Mr. Liar and Hypocrite, please explain why you think
that the biblical directives to exhort and rebuke apply almost
entirely to Christians. At least, that's the story your actions tell.

>You don't like being on the receiving end. I understand that. That
doesn't make it "bad".

Your selective Bible reading is the obvious sin in your life here,
Mr. Liar and Hypocrite. Your denial of your own public sinfulness is
yet another obvious sin in your life, Mr. Liar and Hypocrite.

>I'm sorry.

You are very a very sorry mess, Mr. Liar and Hypocrite. I hope that
after you go to church today and get counseling and you will shortly
report back that the "scales have been taken off your eyes" and you
now understand that the demand from God that we exhort people to do
good and avoid evil applies to non-Christians as well. Since there
are about twice as many non-Christians as Christians that means that
about 2/3 of the time we should be exhorting non-Christians. Thinking
about it Mr. Liar and Hypocrite, I have not been exhorting and
rebuking enough Christians. If you really are a Christian, and I more
and more doubt that you are, I thank you for bringing a little
balance to my spiritual life!

>And I would hardly call rebuking you once every year or so "an
> obsession". That's actually pretty funny!

Come on Mr. Liar and Hypocrite I just conclusively busted you on that
lie. I showed that in the past just over a year you had 4 different
rebuking sessions with me including this one. That's not "once a year
or so". It's every 3 months on the average. Then if we count in the
multiple rebuking posts in some of the sessions we probably can say
that you rebuke me dozens of times a year. If we count the multiple
rebukes per post, then we might find 100 rebukes a year. LOL talk
about self-deception!

LOL! That's the whole point of your attacks Mr. Liar and Hypocrite.
People blame their reprehensible behavior on me and you turn around

Mr. Liar and Hypocrite your denouncements of them don't extend much

hide such denouncements away in posts where you primarily attack me.
Now that is brave of you! (NOT)

I didn't count the current attack, so the one year clock starts with
the previous occurrence I cited. That was on 7/12/2000 so my 1 year
period would be valid if I go back to 7/12/1999.

We'll add that one to your list of deceptions, Mr. Liar and
Hypocrite.

Boy, Mr. Liar and Hypocrite you really did good that time. You just

However, I started my 1 year period on 7/12/2000. If I included your
current round of attacks then a year would strictly end on 11/4/1999,
but in the previous post I didn't do that. You're busted a 5th time

Mr. Liar and Hypocrite if I saw you doing that in your own life it
would encourage me very much. However what I see you doing is lying
deceiving, bobbing, weaving, selectively reading the Bible and
justifying reprehensible sin in yourself and others by blaming it on
me.

Mr. Liar and Deceiver did I not just clearly and logically show that

I'm sure I sinned a few times in this post by making some kind of
error. Gosh, if I knew what the errors were I'd fix them but hey, I'm
not perfect.

Not my job!

Mr. Liar and Hypocrite your bobbing and weaving and selective
Bible-reading has convinced me that you are self-deceived beyond my
ability to help you with exhortation and some carefully considered
and well-documented rebukes. Therefore as always I will pray for your
soul. However, this means that I probably won't be replying to many
of your posts because doing so seems to increase your sinful
behavior.

Jeff Adams asked of Arny Krueger:

> How can you possibly call a potential difference of opinion an

Mr. Adams, Arny Kruger explained in one of the exchanges I had with him
that to for someone to criticize his views or to publicly disagree with
them was indeed equivalent to a personal attack. His grounds for drawing
that equivalence was that the public disagreement lowered his standing
in the eyes of his peers, hence was an attack, and justified his
subsequent behavior.

I think this is ridiculous, because it would eliminate all public
disagreements and debates. However, the Carver lawsuit against
Stereophile many years was based on just this premise: that for a
reviewer to criticize a product was equivalent to a personal attack on
that product's designer. The judge in the case agreed enough with the
premise that he felt it should be tested in trial. (The case was settled
by an arbitrator, so we didn't help explore that corner of the law,
thank goodness.)

A "Hairway to Stephen" reference! Cool! I didn't know Arny was a 'surfers

Now, Krüger's 'proof' is ludicrously wrong at the most elementary level,

demonstrate that in a moment. First, I'm simply going to remove what he
erroneously
believes to be its foundation. I already said I have training in
experimental psychology,
which by *definition* includes subjective experiments and in my case did
include
psychoacoustics. Therefore Krüger's original statement was in error.
Therefore Jeff Adams
was neither wrong, deceptive or a liar by saying so.

Therefore Krüger should apologise for his false attack. I wonder if he is
sufficiently decent
to do so, or whether his particular 'morality' contimues to mean that normal
rules of ethical
behaviour apply only to those of us who are not Arnold B. Krüger.

Now. The Krüger 'proof'. If anybody else at all can't see why it is
complete nonsense,
(and should get him fired from any software job), I'd be happy to go through
it formally.
For now I'll just point out this: if his 'proof' is correct, then I can
safely claim that the following sentence is true:

"Arnold Krüger is without honesty, decency, morals, truthfulness, measurable
intelligence,
redeeming personal qualities, worthwhile characteristics of any kind, any
reason to exist,
good looks, charm, money, or fifty legs."

According to his 'logic' it is, and will remain, *unfalsified*.

I don't have much time to discuss this but the logic is faulty.

This is an error in the use of the English language the three items are
different endings to the phrase thus it should be:


(1) design of subjective experiments

(2) psychoacoustics

(3) perceptual psychology

Now let's continue, assume that my contention above is untrue and Arny's
argument is correct is does as Arny contends "not or" = "and".
Consider: AND function if A is true and B is true then the AND of A and
B is true all other cases false. if 1 = true and 0 = false where AND(A,
B) = A and B. AND(0,0)=0, AND(0,1)=0, AND(1,0)=0, AND(1,1)= 1.
Now consider the OR function, that is if either A or B is true then the
OR of A and B is true and all other case false. Therefore: OR(0,0)=0,
OR(0,1)=1, OR(1,0)=1, OR(1,1)= 1.
Now consider Not function, that is if A is false the Not of A is true.
NOT(1)=0, NOT(0)=1.
As stated the NOR function is NOT(OR(A,B)) so let us do the calculation.
NOR(0,0)=1, NOR(0,1)=0, NOR(1,0)=0, NOR(1,1)= 0, now AND function again:

AND(0,0)=0, AND(0,1)=0, AND(1,0)=0, AND(1,1)= 1. Note, NOR function does
not equal the AND function.
[rest of post snip relevant to point of post]

Conclusion: fundamental to Arny's argument is that a NOR logic function
is the same as an AND logic function. This is not true, therefore his
argument is untrue.

It has something to do with having multiple conclusive pieces of
evidence showing lies hypocrisy and deception on the part of both
Adams and Bamborough.

Mr. Singh, your claim that I am lying about what I believe my eternal

He's doing the same. I guess that is further proof of his hypocrisy.

Arnii, I've already got your hypocrat religion all figured out: you
believe that you can behave as much like a jerk as you care to, because
you can always use the "loophole" of repentance for redemption.
Admittedly, I'm no expert, but I'm reasonably sure it doesn't work that way.

I have no idea what "lesser kind" is supposed to mean. More than likely
Adams doesn't either.

No, proof that I read your words and took them at simple face value.
Again I'll have to defer to a logic expert to support your parsing of
the statement. It looks more to me like wiggling and squirming. If
however someone more expert than myself in parsing your statement
agrees with your interpretation, then I apologize in advance for
misunderstanding what you said. See, that wasn't hard for me to do. No
lies, no hypocrisy.

The jury is still out. However there are dozens and dozens of other
cases. The obituary is another. Can you parse that out so such that
you are blameless in that incident to?

Sorry, but I've just explained that there was nothing intentional in

Forgive me for asking, but what do I have to do with that exchange?

I don't know what you're even talking about. I was referring to the
way you behave towards Paul. I was making the assumption (perhaps I'm
incorrect) that he is not a believer.

If you are saying that your method of helping people with their
problems is by taunting, provoking, intentionally angering, etc., then
I object to that and have supplied numerous references saying that
kind of behavior is not acceptable. This is really so simple. I supply
the references, you ignore them and/or somehow claim they don't apply
here on RAO.

Um, I just did. Why must you insist on being so insulting with the

a single case of either. Not very appropriate behavior.

Right, except that you used specific language that implied those words
were contained in the obituary when they were not. You made a simple
mistake in the words you chose and apparently to this day won't admit
it.

I can't quite tell whether you agree or disagree that it's OK to taunt
and provoke. Could you please answer the question? I've repeatedly
shown that my remarks about your behavior are biblically supported.
You can choose to call them whatever you want, but, they are valid and
in fact commanded. I will therefore not bother repeating this now
firmly established and obvious fact.

Wow. You seem to be saying (again) that you think that certain sins
are OK if the situation justifies it. Or did I misunderstand what you
just said?

And again, since you won't delineate what you think constitutes a sin
here, you aren't truly taking responsibility for your sins here. A
general statement that you sometimes sin is not very helpful when you
so frequently deny any wrong doing when questioned.

Like what? Name one thing. And please, it's not proper behavior to
continue to call someone a liar and/or a hypocrite when you have not
proven either. It reflects very poorly on your character.

The errors I seem to recall you admitting to are of the category of
clerical or technical. I can't recall an instance of you apologizing
for bad behavior. It's the bad behavior that I've clearly been
addressing.

No, I haven't dodges, I've answered your question. At least two or
three times now. I sent you passages regarding exhortations and
rebukes that demonstrate both cases. So what's your point? That I
don't denounce Middius, Singh, and Zipser very often? As I said
before, I'll take it under advisement. However, it in no way negates
the correctness of me exhorting/rebuking you for your inappropriate
behavior. I'm sure you understand this, right?

No, you haven't shown it once, let alone several times now. Very poor
behavior on your part. And another example of what I so strongly
object to.

No, you used a private definition of what you considered to be an
attack which no one else I know of would agree with.

brief diversion: Is there ANYONE out there that thinks that
a difference of opinion, or a neutral recalling of a situation
with an explanation as to why the situation caused annoyance
is an attack? ANYONE at all?????????????????

I'm sorry but I can't help it if you have a different view of reality.
A statement of events is not a personal attack. A difference of
opinion is not a personal attack. You are, simply, mistaken. Finally,
you quoted a post that was over a year old. That was not an attack
either, but rather a biblical exhortation/rebuke. But I can at least
see how you might consider it an attack (even though you'd be
mistaken). Case closed.

You have made a generic statement that sometimes you sin. That is not
the same as taking responsibility for specific sins. It comes off
sounding like an excuse to sin, not like someone taking
responsibility. You are commanded to apologize to the persons you sin
against. Perhaps you do it privately. But the only cases I remember
where you admit to a mistake aren't sin in the first place, they were
cases where you were in error about a technical fact, or you made some
kind of clerical mistake. The stuff I'm talking about are the
behavioral sins. For those I've not seen you take specific
responsibility.

You have shown nothing conclusively except that you apparently don't
understand my responsibility to exhort/rebuke you. You say I
exhort/rebuke you more than the others. That doesn't make me a liar or
a hypocrite. It saddens me that you won't discuss these things
privately, and I do feel some guilt for being compelled to do this
here.

Do you read what I write? I denounced the others you mentioned very
early on in this exchange. You choose to ignore this - or maybe you
didn't see it or didn't remember? See, I'll show you grace and not

It doesn't change your personal responsibility. Period. The commands
that are to guide your behavior aren't on a sliding scale. They don't
depend on what came before you, or what others do around you.

It's pretty much QED isn't it? Do you actually contest that fact that
your poor behavior causes a lot of problems? I'm stunned if that's the
case. I recommend you read Proverbs. There you will find plenty of
wisdom regarding how you should behave, and how, when you behave
poorly, people will likely respond.

No such thing is true. I'm not bobbing or weaving. I'll grant you your
premise that this place was not pretty before you arrived. I did that
last time. That's not bobbing and weaving.

The requirements on your behavior do not depend on what came before
you. I'm asking you to clean up your behavior. You are going on and on
and on and on about all these other factors. They are interesting and
in some cases true, but they don't change your responsibilities.

I wouldn't try to do that because I haven't. But now we have the truth
of the matter, don't we? You admit that I have denounced them (even
though you stated over and over again in this and previous posts that
I have "washed their hands"). It's just that you'd like me to do it
more often.

You claim a faith that carries with it certain codes of conduct. You
violate those regularly. I find that highly offensive. I believe that
if you were to behave as you are commanded to, much of the grief you
receive would subside (although it would surely take quite some time
since you have thousands of posts and a number of years of this poor
behavior that has generated a lot of momentum and hatred that I'm sure
some of your biggest detractor wouldn't quickly forget or let go of).
Sure, there would still be arguments. That's beside the (or at least
my) point. Do what _you_ are commanded to do.

What, I'm required to respond to each sentence? OK, I didn't have
anything about your statement because I thought it wasn't relevant. It
is my opinion that people want to silence you (if that's really what
they want to do) because of your lousy behavior. This is another part
that you seem to be unwilling to admit. Sure, some of them think your
PCABX is rediculous, and some people wish you'd let the subjectivists
talk about their impressions of equipment without you interjecting.
But why don't you ask your biggest detractors and see what they say
about why they want to silence you rather than us guessing?

You choose your battlegrounds and I'll choose mine. However, the
method in which you challenge and communicate with these people is, in
my well substantiated opinion, frequently unacceptable. We have a
chicken and an egg problem here. You're finding yourself in a position
where people make reprehensible claims about you.

I FULLY AGREE THAT THEY SHOULD STOP AND THAT THESE CLAIMS ARE
REPULSIVE!!!

But here's the "trick" part of the whole thing. It is my theory that
you receive the bulk of this reprehensible behavior due to the way you
conduct yourself here. Can you understand this simple concept?

Let's ask:

Steve, why do you often make outrageous and reprehensible attacks on
Arny?

George, why do you often make outrageous and reprehensible attacks on
Arny?

Greg, why do you often make outrageous and reprehensible attacks on
Arny?

OK. And I'm suggesting that if you comported yourself in the manner
commanded in the bible around here, you'd receive less of this kind of
treatment. Now this brings up an interesting distinction - the Bible
clearly states that believers will be reviled and called all sorts of
names. But the context here is that the apostles were preaching the
gospel - this is what people were reviling them for. Here on RAO, the
discussion is not about the gospel. You (IMO) are not being reviled
for being holy and defending the faith. You are (IMO) being reviled
for behaving so poorly (i.e., the taunting, insulting, condescension,
provoking, trolling, etc., etc., etc). You are (IMO) being reviled for
the evil that you do, not the good that you do. There's a verse about
that that I'll leave you to look up.

>>> For example the vendetta between Mr. Zipser and Mr. Brian McCarty

See above. You are, IMO, not being reviled for your Christian
behavior, you are being reviled for your lousy behavior! That's just
my point! If you demonstrated the character traits demanded of a
believer as you argue your points here, you wouldn't (IMO) get nearly
the mountains of grief you do.

I guess I just won't get this across to you. I choose to exhort/rebuke
you because that is commanded. Therefore it is valid. The fact that I
don't exhort/rebuke the others very often is interesting, but I do in
fact do it, and the choice as to the ratio of my rebukes is mine. As
I've tried to explain so many times, I see your unbiblical behavior as
stirring up a great portion of the reprehensible treatment you
receive. Therefore I see it as very important to try to get you to
behave as a believer should.

Well, to the degree that they are your perceptions, they are not

You have no command to taunt and provoke in return. You have a command
to be polite, respectful, meek, etc (check the passages I've sent
you). This is perhaps the crux of the matter.

I'm not rebuking your effort to confront evil, I'm rebuking the
behavior you use while doing it. Do you understand the distinction? I
thought I had made it extremely clear by this point.

Then you decline to behave in a biblical fashion as we are commanded
to NOT behave this way.

I think we finally have arrived at the heart of our disagreement.

See above. That behavior is not in keeping with the commands that
govern our behavior.

>> I really don't know what you're saying you think is bad.

> Its really between me and God, and not between me and you at all.

When you disobey the commandments, I am commanded to exhort/rebuke
you. You apparently don't think the commandments I've sent you apply.
Here in lies our disagreement.

You haven't shown any of the above. All you've shown is that you'd
like me to rebuke people like Middius, Zipser, Singh, etc., more often
than I do. I hear your request. I respectfully decline to do it the
way you do, ignoring 50 some passages that are to guide our behavior.

I understand that you'd like me to rebuke people like Middius, Zipser,
Singh, etc., more often than I do. I hear your request. However, I see
your unbiblical behavior as extremely serious and a major provoker of
these people. You need to stop.

Already addressed. Using your definition of a rebuke, anyone that ever
says anything that disagrees with you is a rebuke or attack. That's
not reality. You have not busted me on anything except perhaps
pointing out your unusual definition of a rebuke (which apparently
includes stating a difference of opinion and recounting to someone
what you said and why I thought it was interpreted the way it was).

You've shown no such thing. You've shown that I re-stated to Gene
Steinberg why I thought what you said about the obituary was annoying
to Paul Bamborough. The other quote which was Dec of 99 (within the
"close to a year"), I disagreed with your interpretation of 70 times
7. Not a rebuke, not an attack. Then in July of 1999 you found a
rebuke for your behavior. Definitely more than a year ago. Give it up.

I thought you didn't approve of hair splitting. What did I say

Give up your blustering and hair splitting Arny. I proved my case, you

What is clear is that you have documented nothing except your extreme
paranoia and unusual definitions of such things as "lie", "attack",
"rebuke", etc. As usual, you refuse to explain to me how you can
ignore the 50 passages I sent you and behave in completely contrary
ways. You've also shown the extremes you'll go to to try to win an
argument. You've blustered and ignored and made outlandish claims. Not

We'll add it to the other "proof" stuff in your imaginary pile,
how about that? Hey, let's pile up all the "lies" you've "proven"
that everybody on RAO (except you, of course) tells about you.
I'll bet that pile is pretty high and deep, isn't it? Everywhere
you look -- lies, deceptions, hypocracyâ„¢, and slancersâ„¢ -- and
all directed at Arnii Krooger and his fabulous, world-shaking
religion -- er, I mean business -- that is about to unearth the
foundations of the Evil High End Establishment.

Arnii, now that you've laid waste to your enemies with your
impeccable plying of "the debating trade," you should make some
new priorities. Which is more important to you -- "proving" that
Jeff Adams does all that "lying" and "deceiving", or "proving"
that Stereophile has embarked on a systematic campaign to snuff
out your "business" of "testing" MP3 files? Which would you
rather do -- sell 10,000 copies of your "software" and make a
fortune, or continue to "prove" that Paul Bamborough is the
irrational, obsessed, vengeful, paranoid persecutor you make him
out to be? Which would mean more to you -- finally being able to
afford a decent hi-fi, or "proving" that Zippy and Trotsky are
the paid agents of the dread E.H.E.E. who have made it their life
missions to undercut you as the savior of Consumer Audio?

Difficult choices for a courageous "man," Arnii. Are you up to
the challenge?

That's an easy one, Mr. Adams: you use honey and I use vinegar. Our

hypocritical, nasty, obfuscatory, mean-spirited, and dishonest. We've

LOL! Like JJ said, it's like I need to prove De Morgan's theorum.

However, lets look at the sentence without introducing Boolean logic
since Phil seems to be ignorant of the fundamentals of Boolean logic.

Again, repeating the original statement:

"I'll be charitable and say that people like John Atkinson and Paul
Bamborough are just casualties of the fact that a person can get a
EE
or any number of good jobs in audio without any training in the
design of subjective experiments, psychoacoustics or perceptual
psychology."

Let's look at this statement. It has a list of 3 items:

(1) design of subjective experiments

(2) psychoacoustics

(3) perceptual psychology

<which are direct quotes of Phil's alleged clarification.>

They are joined by the word "or".

That means that whole phrase:

"design of subjective experiments, psychoacoustics or perceptual
psychology."

is true if ANY of the 3 elements are true.

To summarize, I'm saying that if any of them is missing, then there
can be problems.

Therefore, all 3 have to be present for the problem I'm talking about
to be properly addressed.

Since neither John Atkinson nor Paul Bamborough have subsequently
claimed expertiese in ALL 3 of these areas, my claim has not yet been
falsified.

Furthermore the relevance of expertiese in these areas has AFAIK not
been challenged, let alone been falsified.

I have explicitly claimed relevant amounts of practical expertiese in
all 3 of these areas but only because I was public challenged to do
so.

I'm sure that I'm not alone in having expertiese in these areas. But
I remain convinced that a great many people working in the Audio
business lack it.

Just guessing offhand, I suspect that Mr. James Johnston, Dr. John
Feng, and Mr. Ken Kantor for example, could claim expertiese in all
three of these areas.

I believe that anybody who visits www.pcabx.com and takes it
thoroughly and seriously will have non-trivial amounts of relevant
practical experience in the application of the areas of:

Mr. Atkinson, that might be how you remember the interchange(s) but I
remember something a little different.

The key to a personal attack is the object of the "discussion". If it
is a web site or a published review then the object of the discussion
is rather obviously not a person unless the skills and work quality
of the person who did the work are brought into the discussion.

If we have a thread whose title is a person's name or a perversion of
it, then the object of the thread seems reasonably clear: The goal is
to attack the person so-named.

If we are discussing a person's stated beliefs and whether or not
their actions conform to them then anybody with a brain will agree
that the object is an integral part of the person.

You seem to be a little fact-challenged here, Mr. McElroy.

Here's my origional statement:

"I'll be charitable and say that people like John Atkinson and Paul
Bamborough are just casualties of the fact that a person can get a EE
or any number of good jobs in audio without any training in the
design of subjective experiments, psychoacoustics or perceptual
psychology."

It is one sentence that happened to have been as a single paragraph
because of the interactive give-and-take nature of the post.

Mr. McElroy I sense that you just might have used the word
"paragraph" when "sentence would be more accurate" in order to
support your false claim that the word "not" was "unconnected".

Not to split hairs or anything, but as anybody can clearly see word
"not" does not even appear in the text of the sentence you are
critiquing...

Thank you. Change my statement to "without" instead of "not". Perhaps I
was reacting to your inappropriate citing of Boolean operators in a later
part of the post or perhaps a later post. "Not/or", was it?

> It is one sentence that happened to have been as a single paragraph

The distinction is unimportant.

"Unconnected"? It isn't even *present*! Can't get less connected than that...

No false claim here, merely a word substitution that doesn't change the
meaning of the statement that remains my opinion.

> Not to split hairs or anything, but as anybody can clearly see word

Thank you for not splitting hairs. Your claim that "without...or" = "and"
is laughable in this context.

Cringing and whining by Mr. Sack has become a dominant motif in
this exchange. What kind of person pules, repeatedly and at length,
that he's being picked on, and it's not fair, and the other kids do
it more, and leave me alone you hate me you're not fair?

Furthermore, Mr. Sack has repeatedly, in this thread, rationalized
his own shitful behavior by saying Zippy and I are just as bad, or
worse, and I do this and Zippy does that. What kind of person are
we dealing with here?

(That's mostly a rhetorical question, Jeff.)


And there's this gem:

> > LOL! That's the whole point of your attacks Mr. Liar and Hypocrite.

Which is closely related to this, from Jeff:

I'll respond to this question by directing my comments at SOS.

Nobody blames their own behavior, reprehensible or laudatory, on
you, Mr. Lying Sack of Shit. This lie of yours might actually be a
simple misunderstanding of something very obvious, what with your
egregiously flawed ability (actually inability) to read and
understand human language.

Let's retrace a simple, even an archetypal, exchange.

1. A Rational posts an opinion about some aspect of audio, either
technical or simply opinion.

2. You, Mr. Sack, respond with a snotty accusation, a hairsplitting
challenge, or a gratuitous snot-missive like "vinyl bigot".

3. Shortly thereafter, you receive a well-deserved rebuke from one
or more RAO regulars.

4. You then whine about being persecuted and proceed to turn all of
your self-hatred outward, usually directing it toward the original
poster. Coming unglued, you emit various false statements.

5. One or more Rationals corrects your errors/lies. You then wheel
out daffynishiuns from your crackbrained reading of dictionaries,
or twist and contort "or" to mean "and", or claim you didn't say
what you're quoted as saying because you said the opposite six
months ago.

6. You cum all over yourself.

7. Various Rationals denounce your vile behavior. Zippy, Felix, I,
or others call you well-deserved names. We make jokes at your
expense. You "rebut" the jokes by such ponderous logic as "Prove
that a sack of sh*t can operate a computer."

8. You whine, "Stop picking on me!" We tell you you brought it on
yourself. You twist that simple statement and claim that we "blame
their reprehensible behavior on me".


Now, as to Jeff's question, there is no simple answer. First off,
nobody "blames" any behavior on Mr. Sack because nobody who calls
him names, points out his horridness, etc., believes we are
behaving reprehensibly. We believe we are fighting fire with fire.
Furthermore, we fully accept that the conflict appears differently
to others who have different values. For example, there is the
egregiously stupid Booby Wumpkins, who thinks nothing of Filthy's
lying and hypocrisy but is greatly disturbed by something he calls
"OTT profanity". Then there is toony balloons, who has actually
said he "has no problem with arnii krooger". Of course, the two of
them both failed in the audio business (Booby as a designer and
toony as a salesclerk), so they probably share the kinship of being
obsessed with envy over the "success" of Trotsky, Zippy, and the
other Real Audio Players who post here.

My point of view is that if the likes of toony and Booby, and
several others, refuse to acknowledge the problems caused by
Krooger, then I have no responsibility to acknowledge their
revulsion at "dirty" language or whatever else offends them. The
Krooger problem transcends language, smutty jokes (of which Arnii
Krooger is the prime source on RAO, of course), and repetitions of
the Beast's gaffes. Arnii F. Krooger is a sick, disgusting "person"
whose illness demands he make himself the center of attention. He
does this by throwing snot, lies, and the mental equivalent of
feces at virtually everyone on RAO.

The Krooger problem has been documented so thoroughly, with
testimony from so many individuals, that it does not bear
repeating. How many people have a problem with me, Trotsky, Zippy,
Dormer, Bamborough, and Shain? Add them all up. Include one tally
mark for each of us from Big Bwian. Now compare that total to the
number of individuals who have had a Bad Krooger Experience. The
comparison is far from parity.


So, finally, the answer is that I am deeply offended, sometimes
even mortified, by the vileness that is Krooger. I respond out of
pure emotion -- anger, disgust, indignation, and contempt. I do not
"blame" my behavior on Krooger. Krooger is a problem that I attempt
to counteract. Some few sick and twisted individuals view my "cure"
as worse than the disease, and that is their prerogative. I accept
that as the price of giving voice to my feelings.

Certainly. Anything to help you overcome your massive debilities and
continue the preposterous charade you carry on every day of your
"life". (The charade in question being that you are something other
than a disgusting, twisted, demented sack of shit.)

When you read those few lines of mine again, Mr. Filth, bear in mind
that I think you are a foul and repulsive liar, a hypocrite nonpareil,
the most intellectually bankrupt purveyor of verbal feces I have ever
seen, and someone whose delusions and self-deceptions run so deep they
are right off of any conventional scale.

With all that in mind, you digusting turd of a person, wouldn't you
assume that every word in my post is sarcastic, ironic, or outright
hostile? If not, you are insane beyond measure. Come to think of it,
that's probably the case. For example, when I said

> > Arnii, now that you've laid waste to your enemies with your
> > impeccable plying of "the debating trade,"

you actually thought I meant that sincerely. You are the only one who
did not understand my meaning.

Then you asked what E.H.E.E. stands for. I guarantee I've used that
expression at least twenty times on RAO, and possibly as many as 100
times! How could you possibly not know my little pet name for that
group of dastardly warriors who spend all day and all night trying to
make your "life" into a living hell?


Hey, one last thing before I go: Can you please give us a score, in
your estimation, of your current exchange with Jeff Adams? Put it in
percentage terms, like, e.g., Jeff is winning 65-35, or you are
winning 58-42. TIA.

But understandable given Mr. Krueger's claim in another posting he made
today that the Boolean "or" is the same as "and." Perhaps he sincerely
does believe this to be true. Doesn't make it true.

I think that it is either Mr. Phillips or Felix who is in charge of
dick-measuring. I think you need to call one or both of them for a
free estimate.

Could be, so it's moral relativity if not a religious statement

It is up to you how you offend people, and it reflects on

but the reasonable human will do as they see fit.

False claim. That isn't what I said. You're off by a sign.

Yet more confused thinking. I'll deal with the actual truth first, then
turn to his confusion, on the assumption that it is sadly real rather

False. I noted yesterday, on Krüger's nasty attempt to attack
Jeff Adams on these grounds, that I do have training in all three, and
Krüger should have known this before he wrote this post.

Not 'expertise', by the way, training - which was the word at issue.
I wonder why Krüger should suddenly want to change his own word, the
one that he made the false assertion about, at this late stage? Could
it perhaps be because he is claiming merit for *himself*, in this post,
but doesn't strictly have *training* in all three subjects? Of
course, nobody but him has attempted to argue that it *matters*, so he
is only trying to convince himself..

No matter. His original assertion that I have no training in these
subjects is wrong, he is in error, and I again ask him to retract it.

Now, the confused logic. Yesterday, he said that his statement


> "I'll be charitable and say that people like John Atkinson and Paul
> Bamborough are just casualties of the fact that a person can get a EE

> psychology."

was true (or at least unfalsified) asl long as we are without training in
*any*
of the three subjects.

This argument was *entirely false*, and the result of
an elementary logical error in Krüger's formulation of his statements. As
it happens, the problem was not de Morgan's theorem, but that he used
it on a different statement from the one above, and then pretended that
its results applied to the original statement.

Wrong. Extremely wrong. The error is actually very easy to dispose of
using symbolic logic, and I'll do it if I have to. Meanwhile, Krüger has
made
no answer to the point I made yesterday, and which I'll rework now:

*If* Krüger's argument is right, these statements are also true:

"Krüger is without reason, logic, honesty, the ability to speak the
truth or a diamond as big as the Ritz"

"Bamborough does not have errors, defects, problems, a mean bone in his
body or wings"

How about it, Krüger? In what way do you think that these are wrong,
but yours was right?

Now, this time round Krüger actually *almost* gets it right, and then
slides off into trouble again:

> Let's look at this statement. It has a list of 3 items: (1) design of
> subjective experiments (2) psychoacoustics (3) perceptual psychology

> They are joined by the word "or". That means that whole phrase:

> "design of subjective experiments, psychoacoustics or perceptual
> psychology."

> is true if ANY of the 3 elements are true.

This is, finally, correct. BUT, it also destroys Krüger's own bogus
argument of yesterday.

When a statement is true if ANY of its elements are true, then the
statement is false only if ALL those elements are false. (That 's de
Morgan, by the way).

Krüger's original sentence asserts that the statement is false:

> WITHOUT ANY training in the design of subjective experiments,
> psychoacoustics or perceptual psychology."

My emphasis. Now, when Krüger made his previous bogus argument, he
*agreed* that at least two of the elements were true;
therefore, he also agreed that the statement was true;
therefore his claim that it wasn't ("without any") is plain wrong.

His logical confusion is actually trivially fixed by the judicious use
of brackets, and any junior programmer should know this.

Let's put it to bed now, shall we?

p

PS The rest of Krger's post was devoted to arguing a *brand-new* point
as if it was the original assertion. I think that this is less than
honest, and intend to finish with the old false ones.

The truth outs after how many days of you beating around the bush Mr.
Bamborough?

Sorry, you've confused Usenet postings with a relaible form of
communications.

It was only an issue in your mind, and then with the word "Formal"
attached. Besides The word "training" is almost meaningless. After
all on-the-job-training is a valid term, but describes an intensely
variable and often very uncontrolled process.

> I wonder why Krüger should suddenly want to change his own word,

Because I didn't.

As I said the word "training" is pretty meaningless all by itself.

I feel no obligation to convince *anybody* including myself. I am

Mr. Bamborough since you've finally, after what 9 days of shucking
and jiiving and lying and deceiving finally made a clear, concise
statement, I'll let you have the gold star you seem to lust after:

"I was poorly informed when I claimed that Mr. Bamborough lacks

making the gross mistake of accepting a proven liar and deceiver at
his word."

At this time Mr. Bamborough, any reader who is trying to make sense
of what you are saying is scurrying about looking for antecedents.

Could you try to be a little more clear?

I decline to try to untangle your intentionally clouded statements,
Mr. Bamborough.

Why don't you go do something on-topic and useful like defend your
now-falsified claims about the applicability of PCABX to CD players?

Well, Krüger has finally admitted that one of his false assertions about me
(one that was probably libellous, by the way), is indeed false. And with
what sweetness and typical grace he concedes his error:

Krüger, thank you very much. I shan't bother with your new scurrilous
assertions, because they are proven only in your own mind. But, in that
context, when you replie to my statement

>> and Krüger should have known this before he wrote this post.

with

are you saying that you haven't received the relevant post? If that were
the case, I'd be in error to say you should have known that you were wrong.
Is it?

Just one or two other points:
------
Me:


>> Not 'expertise', by the way, training - which was the word at issue.

You:


> It was only an issue in your mind, and then with the word "Formal"
> attached.

No, this is completely false. You *started* this entire ding-dong by using
the specific word "training" in your original assertion which you have
quoted repeatedly. I certainly modified it by using "Formal
qualifications", which would have made your assertion less scurrilous though
just as wrong. But you kindly corrected me, by calling me a "liar" for
attempting to interpret your attack as being less nasty than you meant it to
be.

------------
With respect to your major logical error, which I dealt with by example:

> I decline to try to untangle your intentionally clouded statements,
> Mr. Bamborough.

My statements were, of course, not clouded but *identical* in structure to
yours. If you are able to understand this, then you are dissimulating. If
you are not able to understand it, may I suggest that you read a first
primer on logic. If you are not able to understand *that*, there is nothing
I can do to help you.

> Why don't you go do something on-topic and useful like defend your
> now-falsified claims about the applicability of PCABX to CD players?

My claim has *not* been falsified. I note your new post, and am glad that
you have decided actually to discuss the topic instead of insulting and then
defaming me. Regrettably, you addressed my first post, rather than the
later ones where I refined my argument, and if you try to read those later
posts you will see that I have already dealt with much of what you say.

However, as a courtesy I'll revisit the argument and describe again why I
believe that you are wrong. I'll do that some time tomorrow - my time is
limited at the moment, and after dealing with your personal attacks there is
little left.

> <Mr. Bamborough's alleged "logic" snipped in an attempt to reduce the

I think we can take this statement as an admission that you were wrong and I
was right. Twice I have explained what was wrong in your logic, and twice
you have completely failed to address a single word of what I said.

Instead, you add a new insult. Pretty obvious why, I think we can all agree.

that speaks such volumes about you. Thank you for your unusual kindness.

This is quite beautiful reasoning which certainly exceeds Arnold's

What are you talking about, Krüger? " 'Resistance' headquarters?" Is it
your claim that Jeff Adams and I are part of some organisation within this
newsgroup? I am certainly not, and I am not aware that Jeff Adams is
either. We both can see that your alleged "proof" of my lies and deceptions
is purely a fantasy in your own mind, so we both say it. We say it becuase
it is *true*, Krüger, not because we are colluding. Are you capable of
understanding that?

If you actually believe the fantasy about "headquarters" as well, then
*what* organisation? Your proof with respect to me and Jeff Adams? Any
evidence at all? Or are you just hurling free-form accuastions about - as
has become your horrible habit whenever you are shown to be utterly,
comprehensively wrong in your vile attacks, by the efforts of reasonable
people.

Which happens more and more often, incidentally.

And what is this nonsense about "omniscience". *You* have made the claim,
over and over and over again, that I am a "proven liar and deceivcer".

You have completely failed to prove that very strong claim. You failed to
prove it with anything I have said, you failed to prove it with your
*interpretation* of what I said, and you have even failed to prove it by
simply *making up* your own words and putting them in my mouth, as you have
done repeatedly.

And *nobody* but you, Krüger, *nobody* has ever said that I am a liar and
deceiver, let alone that your sad efforts have succeeded in proving me one.
Not only have you failed to produce the evidence to back your nasty and
dishonest claims about me, you have failed to produce anybody who supports
you on them. And yet you bleat, over and over again, that your solipsistic
claims are 'proven'.

So, Krüger, who is claiming "omniscience"? You have no proof, you have no
backing, but you claim to *know* that I am a proven liar and deceiver. If
anyone is claiming omniscience, it is surely you.

But you are not a deity, Krüger, whatever your increasingly pathological
delusions.

p

PS. And by the way, you failed to answer any of my points and questions
again. Does this mean that you accept that you are wrong? Do you agree
the following:

You did receive the post - the one where I said that I had all the
trainings you demanded as a refutation of your fallacious logic - *before*
saying that I hadn't done so?

You do accept that you introduced the word 'training' into your original
calumny, that your claim that the issue was only in my mind is *false*, and
you do retract it?

You accept that your attempt at combinatorial logic on the structure of your
attack was a complete mess, and that you were hopelessly wrong?

Note: that Arny claims I do not understand logic. Let's test his
statement. What I said and showed was that Mr. Krueger's statement which
you can get from above. Arny said:

Now anybody who knows any combinatorial logic knows that "not or"
= "and". This is not true by DeMorgan's law. That is what I said. You,
Mr. Krueger, made the statement as a bases of your argument by removing
the truth of your base statement your argument as stated falls. Don't
call me stupid because you made a bad argument and also don't blame me
because you miss stated DeMorgan's law.

As for the rest of the argument you made, it was immaterial. My comment
was about the original post's argument which was based on the statement
"nor" = "and" which is not true. Thus, my statements of argument
conclusion being untrue were valid.
I realize it is embarrassing to be caught in such an obvious and basic

Arnii really said that? 'Not Or' is NOR, and its truth table is not

...or Mr. Bamborough's incessant obsession with irrelevant nits
simply bores me. Where is the beef? All this smoke that is coming
from Bamborough's ears is obviously due to the fact that his primary
mission is going nowhere.

Face, the man is a stuffed shirt! Most people lack the patience to
work through his tortured logic and irrelevant whining. The guy is so
upset he's even forgot how to spell and I have to keep correcting
him!

Mr. Bamborough has been straining at the stool for weeks and weeks
trying to lay just one technical finger on www.pcabx.com . His
pathetic attempts at completing his propaganda seem to be failing
because of his inability to clearly demonstrate relevant technical
knowledge and produce an irrefutable technical argument.

It's been said in public that people aren't getting whatever he's
trying to do except that they think he looks classy (while he is
spinning his wheels). That may impress people who buy audio based on
front panel aesthetics and other hype, but it does little for people
who are interested in "good sound" in terms of the face value
meanings of those words.

IOW Mr. Lyle, you were a day late and a dollar short with your

help and moral support in a timely fashion. Do try to do better next

Hmmm. Perhaps I am confused because your "True" statement involves a
negative concept: "If someone does _not_ have training..." = "True."
But your reasoning is still not correct, as I assume others will already
have pointed out to you.

Your first statement was:

> a person can get a EE or any number of good jobs in audio without any
> training in the design of subjective experiments, psychoacoustics or
> perceptual psychology."

Which you clarified by saying that:

> That means that [the] whole phrase...is true if ANY of the 3 elements
> are true.

Both statements have the form: "If A or B or C is true then X is true."
(Remembering that your "true" on the left of the equation is equivalent
to "someone _not_ having training.")

You then stated:

> To summarize, I'm saying that if any of them is missing, then there
> can be problems.

If it is allowed that your "missing" in this statement has the same
effect as "without" in your first statement, this has the same
structure: "If A or B or C is true then X is true."

However, your final statement was:

> all 3 have to be present for the problem I'm talking about to
> be properly addressed.

Assuming that by "properly addressed," you are still talking about
the same outcome of your first statements (that people without/missing
training can get "good jobs" in audio), this has the form: "If A and B
and C are true, then X is true."

In other words, you are now saying that _all three_ conditions have to
be satisfied compared with just one of three in your original statement.
To sum up:

Statements 1 and 2: "If A or B or C is True, Then X is True."

Statement 3: "If A and B and C are True, Then X is True."

The form of 3 is not the same as that of 1/2. That is all I am saying,
that you are wrong to equate OR with AND. It hardly seems to be a false
claim. And the situation is not changed if you change the "trues" on the
left side of the equations to "not trues" (ie, having training equals
"true"), which is one interpretation of your phrase "off by a sign." The
two forms now become:

Statements 1 and 2: "If A or B or C is Not True, Then X is True."

Statement 3: "If A and B and C are Not True, Then X is True."

3 is still not the same as 1/2.

There is one more possibility, that by "properly addressed," you are now
talking about the _opposite_ outcome of your first statements, ie, that
people without/missing training should _not_ be able to get "good jobs"
in audio). This has the following forms, again taking either of the two
interpretations of your "without/missing" descriptor, respectively:

Statement 3: "If A and B and C are True, Then X is Not True."

compared with Statements 1 and 2: "If A or B or C is True, Then X is
Not True."

or

Statement 3: "If A and B and C are Not True, Then X is Not True."

compared with Statements 1 and 2: "If A or B or C is Not True, Then X is
Not True."

Is this what you meant by "off by a sign"? Either way of presenting your
final statement is still not equivalent to your first two statements
when reworked with the same conventions.

To address your original comment with respect to Paul Bamborough, if Mr.
Bamborough had any training at all in even one of the three disciplines
you mentioned, your statement was incorrect. And as Paul does indeed
have such training, it now behoves you to admit that you were wrong.

I think the real problem here, Mr. Krueger, that your use of words is
haphazard: that while you know what you meant to say, the rest of us can
only go by the literal meanings of those words. And as I have attempted
to show above, the literal meanings of the words you use give
conflicting results. But thank you for the advice to find your
explanation to Phil. I shall now delve into the rest of the new postings
to find it and to see if others have commented on your mistaken ideas
about logic.

Arnii, you've topped your rantings at Jeff Adams. Well done!
I for one didn't think you could get more outrageous, but I was
wrong.

What is your stance on the irrelevant, immaterial, obfuscatory,
exceedingly petty, and downright dishonest nits that you like to
pick? Are they Kristian nits, by any chance?

Nobody can guess what "mission" you are referring to, but his
actual "primary mission" has succeeded brilliantly. The proof of
that is the shambles he makes of your every lie, every deception,
every bit of hypocrisy, and every dram of slander you direct at
Mr. B. Your destruction at Bamborough's hands has been utter and
complete, a testament to the man's dispassionate dissection of a
krazy, ranting fool while remaining patient and far more composed
than reasonable discourse demands.

I think we can all see this is another figment of your depraved
fantasy world, Mr. Sack, quite akin to your odious labeling of
Jeff Adams with your own sinfulness. Consider it ignored by all
thinking people.

So your humiliations on Usenet are related to high-end audio?
Interesting theory. Did Phoebe tell you to say that? The number
of idiots who buy into your class warfare borgma is pretty few,
Boogers. I'd say that little coterie of losers define themselves
aptly by preferring to keep silent about you rather than behave
with reason and measure. Even on Usenet, it's normal for humans
to judge others, at least in part, by the company they keep. And
God knows you don't keep company with any decent audio equipment.

You've got Mr. Bamborough confused with the Resistance. We're the
ones urging you to off yourself. Paul has been silent on the
subject of your overall value to human society.

Shut the fuck up, you idiot. It is not 'more like' anything; it just
is NOR. NOR is the inverse result of OR. It certainly isn't AND, which

Specifically, I am trying to see why you seem to have some sense of

I think you're just ankle-biting again.

JJ, by deMorgan's law the results is the same as an AND but isn't the question.
the devil was responding to Arny's remark of as follows:

On Tue, 07 Nov 2000 12:34:29 GMT, "Arny Krueger" <ar...@flash.net>
wrote:

Not OR is not NOR. NOR is more like OR NOT.

I'm not to sure what this means but he seems to imply that NOR(A,B) =
OR(not(A),not(B)) this is obviously untrue. The devil's remark, although unkind,
is correct given this interpretation of what Arny said. Since the normal
definition of NOR is: NOR(A,B)=not OR(A,B).
Your remark is a bit relevant and acts as a smokescreen for Arny. It makes it
appear that you are saying his statements are correct. Letting him hid behind your
technical reputation. This is not a good idea. If Arny is right by all means
support him, but don't cloud the issue with irrelevancies.
Arny stated a "nor" = "and" . He did not state that a nor(not(a), not(b)) =
and(a,b). Also following standard method of decoding his statement above, Arny
said NOR(A,B)=OR(not(A),not(B)). This is also untrue and easily checked in any
logic book.

Phil I'm glad to see that you are learning the Bamboroughian
methodology for deception.

It's a simple method, but I'll lay it out anyway:

(Phase 1) Misstate Arny's words convincingly (well at least
convincingly for the easily-deceived).

(Phase 2) Disprove the intentional misstatement of Arny's words.
(this can be done without additional deception).

(Phase 3) Claim that Arny was wrong. (this can be done without
additional deception).

The beauty of this procedure is that when the false conclusion is
published, the deception is already 2 steps back.
