Name dropping doesn't get you a whole lot on this board. It actually has quite the opposite effect on the folks around here. They tend to tune you out. Not only that, but it is like a flare in the dead of night alerting people to the fact that you really don't know what you're talking about.
I could brag all day about the school I went to, about the people I know, and the accomplishments I've got under my belt. But why? Why do I need to? What will it get me? It would get me into a whole lot of ****. You don't see the top names in the industry on the forums yelling and screaming that they know their ****. You don't see them calling people out and saying that they are morons.
If you're as knowledgeable as you claim to be, show it, don't force it on people. Why? Because when you force it on people, people tend to blow you off. Like it or not, it's the way the world works.

You should state your opinions and give support to your argument other than "I have spent other peoples money and most people don't know a damn". If you do intend to publish something, I sincerely hope that you refrain from saying things like "whoopee ****" and "its like sex". I hope that you are able to understand that these forums offer a place where intelligent people can share intelligent opinions and not become ignorant or combative with others. You are not the only voice that counts. You should be more open to what people have to say and learn how to disagree. Being respectful when you disagree is a value that would have suited much better to learn well before you filled your brain w/ audio knowledge. I look forward to consideration of your opinions in the future, I just hope your presentation is better.
Agree, 100%. Not to mention, learning to spell, learning grammer, etc. It all goes a long long way to making yourself legitimate. When I read through a post, especially when someone is beating on their chest, yelling that they know everything, and they don't even know the differnence between their, there, and they're...it puts a flag up that this person isn't quite legitimate.

ummm - the LRx isn't the Chrome shadow...it's the VRx series.
To add to that, you've mentioned it multiple times in this thread..which tells me you might not know as much as you're leading on that you know.
Long story short, this is not a forum that tolerates people that act like rappers...grabbing their crotch, screaming into a mic, talking about how they are so much tougher and better than the next guy. Why do forums ban members that act this way? Because it's incredibly disruptive to the community. It does little to teach people, because people don't like to be yelled at and treated like dirt.
So long story short, tone it down.
