This bloke here, long, long ago abandoned any hangups or cares as to what "impresses" people, most of all total strangers online
I have better things with which to occupy myself.
Oh if only that were true. You seem to have spent all the short time that you have been on the eevblog forum trying desperately to impress people with your 'personality'. Why else would you start an off-topic thread on a particular piece of music on an electronics forum? Music is all about personal taste, one man's meat is another man's poison, and so any reasonably intelligent person would know that what is 'good' music would be contentious. Conclusion, you're stirring it, as you always do, in a desperate bid to grab attention, any attention even if it's people lambasting you. And you claim that you've better things with which to occupy yourself? Ha!
Oh my God. WHY do the Few keep trying to Down-Trod those lesser than them-selves???
I have seen other 'posts' from 'eti', and whether I agree with his philosophy in general, I gave what I thought was a TOTALLY
and honest/meaningful answer to what he said/asked ?? Why are 'some' people so deliberately negative in their responses??
I 'know', (sense?), that you are supposed to be 'important' within your own 'circle', but I don't see it, sorry!! 
I think that ONLY you would revel in the use of such words as 'Lambasting' you. Pull your head out of your 'ass'....
No matter what YOU think of him, (and I have my opinions!), he posed a meaningful topic, that 'I' felt required/needed an
equally meaningful response. And I dared to give it.
'You' are a bully, sorry... And I can't STAND bullies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are weak, with nothing real to offer.
Thank goodness there are so many others from all corners of the 'Globe' that are basically/boringly friendly. 
Glenn, be a good little chap and shut up will you.
I take comfort in the fact that there can only be *one* thing worse than *hearing* your churlish, immature responses, and that would be you having to wake up each day, look in the mirror and for you to realise that you're still there, carrying around this heavy burden of anxiety and bitterness, and not knowing how to escape it.
Consider this old addage: "If everywhere you go there's a problem, maybe *you're* the problem"
I wish you no ill, but if only for your own sake, at the minimum, sort yourself out.
What with you having a username which seems to be clearly focused around the brain and its amazing power, maybe you could develop yours by training it a bit more with how to respect others.
