Mr. Middius, since your "popularity" here is

create a little action with your post RE

chicken to do so?
PS to Trotsky. Please relay this to Mr. Middius.

Bill, I'm not sure if you are insane, senile, stupid, or some kind of

Wumpkins". I would think even the most mentally feeble would be able to
recognize a question being asked of them, but in your case I'm not so sure.

If "Booby Wumpkins" is a euphemism, then "Arnii the Krooshit" must be
a thick coating of unrefined sugar.
Anyway.... I did amend the subject of the other thread so that Booby
would know I was trolling for him specifically. Is he on meds? Has he
been diagnosed as suffering from Alzheimer's Syndrome? Why did he
attempt to ascend from Radio Shack salesclerk to "speaker designer",
and how did he cope with his resounding failure? Those are the
questions provoked by the triviality we know as Booby Wumpkins.

This has been discussed also, with the first comments

Yes, I was somewhat new here at the time, that's the reason
I ask JS directly who he referred to as the "defunct
loudspeaker designer". He responded to me by refusing to
answer my question, leaving me clear in the matter.

And, quite similarly, as logic and clear thinking are anathema to
the TomYutz approach to Usenet. Much better to support Arnii

Georgie, Georgie, georgie....... I could ask you to provide references

Agreed. He just does not have the proper attitude and disposition for
playing this game.
Mr. Singh, you kicked your own ass.
Your gun.
Your bullet.
Your foot.
More like someone who just isn't suited for playing the game without
first learning more about himself and other people.
Under the circumstances, being overwhelmed with disgust and loathing
would actually be more like being overcome with disgust and loathing
of one's own self. That makes it your problem Mr. Singh, not a
problem for the rest of us.
Mr. Middius one readily-apparent source of your self-disgust and
self-loathing is that you can't do any of the above.
That's the really sad part.

Your logic would be impeccable, Arny, if in fact it existed at all.
That's what I find so disgusting and loathsome. Sorry.
The sad part is seeing you ignore the truth from the likes of Adams and
Bamborough. You are really, really disgusting.
I simply have no idea who "Pat Mabottom" is.
I can tell you that http://www.411locate.com/people3.htm does not
find any people named "Mabotoom" in several very populous states like
California, Texas, Michigan, New York, or Illinois. Want more states
searched? Be my guest!
Is Mabotoon a "handle"? Probably.
The posting IP address "24.178.199.76" looks like it is a @home
site in or about Denver, Colorado. But @home is known to route
postings all over the place before putting them onto Usenet.
I did find a "mabottom" reference at www.google.com . Seems like its
related to homosexuality or sexual agression.

alert!
I think Bamborough really tipped his hand yesterday when he refused
to give any rules for "evidence". His game obviously involves moving
the target after someone shoots at it. The closer my aim, the faster
and further he moves the target.
IMO both these guys are trolls. They just want attention, not polite
conversation or exchange of audio ideas.
Mr. Singh, that makes your love for them perfectly predictable. Any
port in a storm?
Bollocks!

First, let's see what hotels he actually recommends... ;-)

I wonder if Gummy Of The Unpatted Bottom has any comment on this bit
of posturing. After all, TomYutz is "not" a supporter of Krooger.

Get a T-shirt with a picture of your bottom, walk up to every
likely guy you see, and ask him "Do you want to pat me?" Then throw
in a smarmy-winky to show you don't support Krooger. Next thing you
know, you'll have that "big brotherly" attention you crave.

Maybe this could turn into a fruitful discussion. I would suggest that
the rules of evidence have multiple categories. I might need some help
here in getting my thoughts onto "paper", but here it goes:
-----------------------------------------
Scenario 1 - Evidence not subject to interpretation (concrete,
objective evidence)
Example 1: the Revox case. Your picture from Bill Watkins of the
magazine add (http://www.pcabx.com/zipser/a77mag2.jpg). I don't see
how anyone could argue that the A77 was not distributed in America in
at least 1970.
-----------------------------------------
Scenario 2 - Evidence that is subject to _some_ subjective
interpretation but that meets some kind of "generally agreed upon by
reasonable and objective people" level of scrutiny.
Example 1: Your claim that this link
http://x76.deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=563230840 contains an
attack on you. The entire message is shown below:

I think this example meets the "generally agreed upon by reasonable

that I can see. I am making a comment that is off the topic of the
thread I was posting to (that's why I said it was a "non-sequitor"). I
am not saying your comments were a non-sequitor.
I think the above "evidence" meets the test of "generally agreed upon

Example 2: Your claim that Paul Bamborough attributed the term "hard
drugs" to you.
I posted the question regarding the usage of the term "hard drugs" in
http://x69.deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/threadmsg_ct.xp?AN=704200399.1&mhitnum=1&CONTEXT=976908857.163315719
"So - Paul D. - are you talking about Arny's post regarding
the 10x rule? And where did the "hard drugs" thing come
in to this?
Paul Bamborough answered my question by saying in
http://x69.deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/threadmsg_ct.xp?AN=704554076.1&mhitnum=3&CONTEXT=976908857.163315719
"The "hard drugs" thing comes from another of Krüger's attacks
on me: he has several times suggested that I take drugs.
Now, I would suggest that what caused your misunderstanding in this
case was that Paul Bamborough chose to answer my question (which was a
question to Paul D., but nevertheless it was a question that Paul B.
was able to answer) through your post at
http://x69.deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/threadmsg_ct.xp?AN=704440705.1&mhitnum=2&CONTEXT=976908857.163315719
It would appear that the reason he did this was so that he could go on
to ask _you_ a question as well. The reason I think this is quite
clear is that the attributions for who wrote what are completely
intact. Here is the entire post with the attributions:

As a matter of mild interest, what do you mean by "melted down"?
In this thread you completely forgot that you had written something,
attacked your own opinion, demanded that I prove that you really
wrote it, accused me of "OSAF", "creative reading", and "posturing".
That strikes me as something approaching a melt-down.
The truth was that you *had* written what I said you had, and I pointed
that out with references.
Is that what *you* mean by a "melt-down"? If so, what does that
make your false attacks? And if not, what *do* you actually mean?
p
I would again submit that this "evidence" requires some amount of
subjective interpretation but that it meets the "generally agreed upon
by reasonable and objective people" level of scrutiny.
-----------------------------------------
Scenario 3 - Evidence that is subject to _considerable_ subjective
interpretation. I'm not sure what to say the level of scrutiny of
proof would be. I think we're into a gray area of here of trying to
prove intent, and I think that's often not possible.
An example of this might be the whole business of the "10x rule"
between you and Paul Bamborough. While you did indeed post a
description of what the "10x rule" was in
http://x75.deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=678241979.1&CONTEXT=977431068.1982595086&hitnum=6

Arny Krueger wrote:
This problem is similar to the question: "How accurate
does my voltmeter have to be for me to measure something
with a certain tolerance? Accepted practice seems to be
that if your voltmeter is accurate with a tolerance of say 1%,
and if your measurement shows that a certain voltage is off
by 10%, then it is safe to believe that the voltage is off by
10%. OTOH, if your measurement shows that the voltage is
off by 1%, you are very uncertain as to whether that is due
to the voltmeter's lack of precision or that the voltage you
are measuring is really off by 1%.
This is the time-honored 10x rule.
In every test of a 16 converter with a 20 bit converter there
are four major sources of imprecision:
(1) The fact that the test signal applied to the UUT was digitized
with 16 bit resolution,
(2) the errors in the converter under test (UUT),
(3) the errors in the converter used to perform the test,
(4) the errors inherent in 24 bit digitization.
The reason I think this exchange falls into this third category (at
least for me) for the following reason:
a) I'm not sure of what your intent was in your response
b) I'm not sure that Paul B. could have fully understood
your intent without asking for clarification
c) enough time has passed and so many more posts have
been made that I've lost track of what the initial argument
was and what it has become (yes, we have Deja, but Deja
can't prove intent).

So, what do you say? What would YOU say regarding the rules of

I need some more time on it but I hear the same positions as you and
I, like Howard, am immune to the placebo effect due to being highly
trained and all. The violin images like a star, centre front, about
10-20 degrees up. It is as dry as a desicated witch (who shall remain
nameless). The guitar is slightly right and about 0-10 degrees down.
It images like a large inflatable doll called "Mr. Blobby" with the
listener inside. If I was to speculate uncontrollably, I would say it
was multimiked with the violin miked close in mono with a small amount
of stereo mixed in and the guitar with mics in every orifice just for
starters. Call me a cynic or something.
Bill, don't you think it's fair to ask Arny for his pastor's opinion?

It doesn't. That came from Hammurabi. You know, the guy Sean Connery played
in "Time Bandits."

Hello Francois. I'm afraid I'm not an expert on the
Bible, notice the ? above. Nor did I bring up the
religious aspect of the issue, so I'll beg off here.
I will say, I try to treat others with fairness, and
like to see it returned.

Mr. Singh, read the above again and look for a little
humor. Maybe not George Carlin class humor, but humor
nonetheless. You need to lighten up, ol' buddy. :-)

I defer to you on this, Boon. As I told Francois
I'm not an expert, just jabbing with Trots, so
I'll bow out.

Mr. Phillips, I take it that your Bible does not contain Exodus
31:24, Leviticus 24:20, Deuteronomy 19:21 and Matthew 4:38.

Wait a sec -- he played King Agamemnon, didn't he?

So it was BS as usual, from Mr. Phillips. I should
have known. Perhaps he would like to discuss lying
with me and become both a proven liar and hypocrite.
BTW, thanks for the references.

Bill, as usual, I'm the guy with the wit, and you don't have shit.
Arny, are you saying it's customary for you to get your ass kicked
first? I'd have to agree!

A couple of minor corrections: Exodus _21_:24 and Matthew _5_:38 (for
those that don't have a concordance handy and might be checking).
A common interpretation of Matthew 5:38 is that the concept of "an eye
for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" is an Old Testament concept that
is no longer valid in the New Testament. See

Yes, Mr. Phillips was acting true to form. He was lying again. He
obviously knew that knew nothing about the Bible, but he tried to
speak authoritatively about it. His lie was the implicit claim that
he knew what he was talking about.

One might think that a person would be smart enough not to make false
claims about the Bible.

IMO that is already proven.

The Bible is now on MP3 and is freely downloadable from
http://www.audiotreasure.com/ .
You can search an online Bible at many places. Here is one of them

Enjoy!

Marc Phillips wrote:

Mr. Phillips clearly thinks that this is not in the Bible.
and then Marc Phillips gratuitously added this snot:
"It doesn't."
I showed otherwise: Exodus 31:24, Leviticus 24:20, Deuteronomy 19:21
and Matthew 4:38.
>The "Talion law" was developed in Babylon, and the Bible mentions
are incidental *and* not original.
But that doesn't mean that the Bible references don't exist, now does
it Francois?
Mr. Phillips was wrong about what the Bible says about this.
Francois, you are being deceptive as is regrettably your usual habit.
Why is that?
François , please try to stay with the discussion in the future and
please don't descend into ad hominem, which seems to be your habit.
"Exodus 31:24" is a typographic error. The correct reference is
"Exodus 21:24"
"Matthew 4:38" is a typographic error. The correct reference is
"Matthew 5:38"
Thanks for pointing out the errors.
I've already posted the corrections and thanked you for pointing out
the errors.

Not this thread. Not yet. But if I get to pick the threads and if it
weren't for your other deceptive practices, there would be no problem
at all.
Again, Francois you are up to tricks. By restricting the question to
a thread where you haven't yet blown up as you often do, you are
trying to create the impression that you don't make ad hominem
attacks.
Also, Francois we know that you make a practice of preventing DN from
recording your posts. Thus you minimize your accountability.
Deceptive is as deceptive does, and Francois, you are deceptive!

Actually, you've agreed with my claim Francois. You intentionally
keep your posts from being archived at DN.

dealing with Mr. Krueger's hypocrisy.
Again LOL François! You've been cornered again, and caught looking
stupid because you didn't look at the time stamps of the posts you
were comparing.

IME, the whole idea of reference works seems to have escaped him.
There are a lot more errors in the Bible than that.

In normal human terms, that's a reasonable sentiment. However,
Booby's on his own wavelength, as any RAOer with medium or longer
tenure will tell you. To translate from Wumpy's natterings into a
standard language framework, substitute "stupidity" for "fairness".

Yes, indeed, Arny...after noting your subsequent corrections to your rather
hastily prepared effort to prove me wrong once again, you are right. I stand
corrected.
As it has been explained to me by some theologians, however, the eye for an eye
code was never a direct edict from God, but rather a confirmation of the code
set by Hammurabi. Remember, the Bible was not wriiten by God, but rather men.
Men, I might add, who had no concept of the world around them and how it
worked.
I've actually heard one minister say that "an eye for an eye" is NOT in the
Bible. He was wrong, and so am I.
You see how that works, Arny? When someone is wrong, they admit it. They
don't twist and turn and evade and obfuscate. I thought about stringing you
along for a while with this, but then I'd just be lowering myself to your
level.
Boon

So you say.
Bill W.
From a later post by Arny:
"Exodus 31:24" is a typographic error. The correct reference is
"Exodus 21:24"
"Matthew 4:38" is a typographic error. The correct reference is
"Matthew 5:38"

Mr. Phillips may discuss lying with me anytime.
The invitation remains open.

Thank you for the references.
I deferred out of respect for the Bible, not for Mr. Phillips.
Apparently Mr. Phillips doesn't hold respect for the Bible,
otherwise he is ignorant of the matter.

Thanks for the info. Still, Boon was in error,

Actually I deferred out of respect for the Bible,

him bluffing, since he was wrong.

Just go back and continue the discussion by answering
