I think I'll avoid discussing anything political here; you think your posts polarize people? ROTFLOL!!! You must not get "Outside" much (i.e., the "secret" Outside Asylum forum page is where political debate ensues; that forum is in transition like some of the other Asylum forums still are, but it's not for the faint of heart, I assure you!). We probably have diametrically opposed political viewpoints so we'd better stick to film.
>>> "I beg to differ in a big way on Raiders." <<<
That's fine. I did say that it was "arguably" better than the first. ;^) Personally, I consider both very high quality entries and I wouldn't be able to choose one above the other, but what the hey, that's just me. IMHO, Jeff Boam's script for "Last Crusade" is outstanding though.
Take care, Carl... and uh, have that polarity checked! (grin)
Cheers,

You have no idea who you're talking to...
"I have the death sentence on twelve systems..." yada yada. Ask Audiogon who I am, and if I polarize people (their discussion forum is no longer with us, btw...I was in 572 threads there, many of which were flame free I'm proud to say)...Ask Slate...not that there aren't dozens more like me there.
I am perhaps the number one pariah of online audio discussion, simply because I can be ruthless in defending my positions when provoked. I got banned on the first day I participated, from a chat HERE with your bud Steve "Koyaan", and wasn't even trying to inflame him. Honest Steve, I wasn't...a few others finda tried to bang me, so I went off.
I then came back to the chat, first without permission, and later with, and now I'm sure Steve can't wait to discuss cables with me again. He's a good guy, I bet, and obviously dedicated to his work...that's highly honorable, unlike another audio website.
Not to mention the fact that several of my threads here have been deleted or otherwise blocked in the two weeks I've been here...ask "angela100" how much she likes me...and then tell her I still demand an apology for her cowardly smear campaign at the other site (she's too horrified to actually stand up to me). She drew first blood...and I'll have the last laugh...Not that I don't love women...Barbra Streisand's a woman, but I don't love her.
Philander, I like you. I think we have a lot in common, regardles of where your political views may lie. I stand by my point about the soccer moms with SUVs...they all own one, and 80% or so voted for someone who would take them out of production given his way (which I happen to agree with....not so much for "green" concerns, but for the simple fact that they have no place on an interstate highway at 80+ mph, and that's the only place they're used. Physics dictate low speed, off road use. They're a glutanous waste of resources, and everyone knows it. They aren't safer...nothing that heavy could be "safe", especially when it rolls over or impacts the frontal corners, unless it's made of "scrith"...just look at the crash tests if you don't believe me).
Take care, Carl
