Of audiofools and Prog Mastermen

Unread post by Mississippi Blind Child Assburn »

Blind Chile would state that ,at any given moment, there are 70 to 100 peeps looking in on this forum.
That is a healthy number.

Now, how many of these are actually looking in on the MUSIC section? Hard to say.
But we can say of a surety that, at most, there are a mere 10 actual posters.

Wot does this say of the audiofool stereotype?

Yes, I despair of you, audiofool.

But....lets leave it at that and go on to part 2:

You have a bona-fide PROG MASTERMAN on this forum.Do you recognize the import of this?
I would venture to say, you do not know how fortunate you are.
Progmastermen actually posting on the web, nevermind on an audio forum! - are scarce as hen's teeth.
Youse should be grateful and youse should be addressing me with reverence!

I've seen the lay of the land and where your loyalties lay...and its NOT towards prog.And I stand in awe of such brazen, unconcerned Ignorance.

Do you even realize the magnitude of your error.




Of course there are numberless claimants for pwogmastermanship. Few are suitable.
For one - I refrain to put an actual 144,000-number on it - you require a KNOWLEDGE of ,at the very least 1000 bands/artists in pwog (including ancillary genres).

Myself, I carry the weight of nigh countless bands - it would take the pull of a black hole to exhaust me.

So, what we are talking on this thread is basically three things:
-astounding audiofool ingratitude
-audiofool indifference
--audiofool blinkered assurity


I want youse audio fools - may your names be cursed - to take the time to let this sink in.

Youse always were poor stunted creatures of non-pwoginess. Descended to this sorry state.
But now...but now...that I have INTRODUCED you to the world of Pwog and you STILL put a slight upon me ....well sirs this is manifold times worse.This degree of opprobrium can hardly be gauged.


They say God created these unfortunates as well as the rest. If indeed so, any Guidance that puts that much emphasis on poor musical taste , does the Creator's reputation no deal of good.

Hi Fret, it was a game and for Missy this whole forum seems to be a big playground. We all expect him to act in unexpectable ways. And he does! So where is the problem?

I like a good game Hannes. But that felt like a casino where the tables were rigged and the rules got changed without warning.

We were robbed.

Learn to play the game by his rules - i.e. no rules but what entertains and de-boredifies you, but stay within forum rules.

But in that weird brain of his is absolutely loads of stuff trying to get out. Not sure if we deal with a nutter or a genius or both.

He knows his subject and it's entertaining. Quite a character.

I'd like to know some background, clearly only if you are willing to share. How old are you? From your posts, you live in Canada, yet you appear very interested in English culture. What turned you on to prog in the first place? What church denomination are you referring to with its hip to prog clergyman?
Technics SL1210 (Timestep power supply, Mike New Bearing) Audio Origami RB300 / Dynavector DV10x5
Pioneer DVD300 / Topping E30 or AAAA5 cd player.
Audio Innovations Series 500
Heco Direkt Einklang
Headphones - Musical Fidelity A1 / AKG K1000

"felt like a casino where the tables were rigged and the rules got changed without warning." :dance:
Blind Child likes this.

........

Nigel: your attempt to ingratiate yourself with a ProgMasterman does you no service. Yer Blind Childe is not an unpliant soul and I may be induced to answer some of your brazenly invasive questions rovided you lot answer them first.

So let us start with YOU.
