Wasn't going to respond to this hammering... again. However...
This all kicked off when I purchased the Electrocompaniet CDP. It was bought as an ex-dem model from a dealer. Due to the construction work going on around our bungalow the carrier (UPS) couldn't find our number. The dealer gave 7 day warranty but in the end had to travel 30 miles to it up from the depot. The warranty had expired. I could have pressured the the dealer to take it back, as I wasn't too happy with the SQ, but decided to keep it to save hassle.
As a consequence Steve used vile language, which got him banned. For the record, I didn't report the abuse, it was Ben Law who reported it.
BBB waded in by saying (paraphrasing) 'it's no worse than you would hear down the pub'. Hate to think what pubs they frequent. No, I'm no snob but no-one should be the recipient of that abuse. And as soon as Steve's ban was lifted he had another 'pop' at me, which was picked up by another well established What Hi-Fi forum user.
The difference is I have the innate ability to read between the lines, and Steve and BBB responses are usually degrading - not just to me but the whole forum community. His second post on this thread was to insult all of us by saying this used by iPad users, and yet on the above post he says 'this is an open forum - for faceless people...'
Yes, I have reacted to his and BBB's posts but I would never use abusive language to the or anyone else. That is just not my way.
Again on another current thread of mine he tries to wind me up again. You make up your own minds.
