There is a link above for a thread at the KVR
forums about OHMForce dumping their
Standard Version of their products and a
general price increase!


Wondered about your opinions on their new
pricing policy  BTW, I believe you can still get
the Standard($10) versions of the plugins until
December 2002.

If you re-arrange the letters in xoxos, you get xoxos.

What the freak xoxos? You're attack on me
was totally unfounded! When did I say I was
an OHMForce team member, huh? I guess
assumptions make an ass out of you, huh?!
All I was trying to do was to get an alternative
opinion to the ones at KVR. Wanted to see if
there were others who were annoyed about it
like I was at the time. [shrug]. Whatever! I
haven't even tried/heard their plugins yet. I did
think that I remembered people here liking at
least OhmBoyz and/or Frohmage. BTW, you
can stop acting like a ripoff of Ethan Hawke in
"Reality Bites" Xoxos 



What makes you think I don't understand the
meaning of money? Another assumption? I
bet I know the meaning of money way more
than you do! I guess you probably assumed
I'm posting this from some kind of super
computer or something, but the fact is that I
don't personally own a working PC/Mac. Which
is why I haven't tried the afformentioned
plugins, among many others!



Fake name, huh? I guess Xoxos is your given
name, right?



The rest of you DTers might put up with crap
from Xoxos because he's part of the "DT
Clique" that seems to gang up on
unknowns/newcomers, but I sure won't!! Not
from him or anyone else!



BTW, I don't expect an intelligent and/or
mature reply from you Xoxos. I doubt your
sizeable ego would let you post one!

oh, i hate doing the rundown, but..

What the freak xoxos? ooh watch your mouth son



You're attack on me was totally unfounded! "your." i attacked you?



When did I say I was an OHMForce team member, huh? when did i say you were??



I guess assumptions make an ass out of you, huh?! hmm.. see above..



All I was trying to do was to get an alternative opinion to the ones at KVR. Wanted to see if there were others who were annoyed about it like I was at the time. [shrug]. well i can understand why my opinion was so traumatic to you then.



Whatever! I haven't even tried/heard their plugins yet. do i care?



I did think that I remembered people here liking at least OhmBoyz and/or Frohmage. cool. see above.



BTW, you can stop acting like a ripoff of Ethan Hawke in "Reality Bites" Xoxos you spent your time and money on what??



What makes you think I don't understand the meaning of money? Another assumption? do you enjoy imagining that all statements not pertinent to you are? interesting exercise, but remember to discriminate between them and reality.



I bet I know the meaning of money way more than you do! I guess you probably assumed I'm posting this from some kind of super computer or something, but the fact is that I don't personally own a working PC/Mac. oh you poor thing. here, i'll let you feel like a sorry victim as much as you like and then you can say i was mean and wrong and you won our big argument, eh?



Which is why I haven't tried the afformentioned plugins, among many others! it's just the next sentence, don't get excited



Fake name, huh? I guess Xoxos is your given name, right? do you want to call me late at night?



The rest of you DTers might put up with crap from Xoxos because he's part of the "DT Clique" that seems to gang up on unknowns/newcomers, but I sure won't!! Not from him or anyone else! you'll never belong! watch out or i'll send my legions after you har har.



BTW, I don't expect an intelligent and/or mature reply from you Xoxos. nah, i wouldn't expect that you'll receive a reply of that nature either..



I doubt your sizeable ego would let you post one! well, i am pretty great.


you know, looking back at the rather undirected nature of my first statement, i'm guessing that whenever there's a crowd of people and someone yells "hey moron" that you turn around to see if they were talking to you.



ha ha,

xoxos.

I guess when you used the word you, you
meant one of your imaginary friends. Ohh, and
sooooo sorry I made a typing error on the
word "your". I guess if English wasn't my first
language that would make me stupid, right?


Next, you did reference to me as if I was part of
OHMForce. If you can't see that then I guess
that speaks for itself. Damn flame war kiddie!



OMG you're such a pathetic punk Xoxos! It's
just a pity that everyone else here does see
that! You come and reply with some bullshit,
just so you can feed your own bloated ego,
and then don't expect a harsh reaction?



I don't expect that you give a damn about
anyone apart from your self-centered,
self-involved and astoundingly egotistical self!



"Reality Bites" is a movie, moron. You're
intellectual elitism which is totally unfounded
in reality is similar to a character in that movie.
In other words you're completely lame and
unoriginal! You can go on to any board on the
internet and find some ass**** like you! You're
redundant, so you may aswell dispose of
yourself and do us the collective world a favor 




You're reply to me and others shows that
people don't call you on your bull****. Why do
you think more lukers don't post? It's due to
idiots like you talking sh** and other DTers
rallying to support them.



Oh well, I guess in your heart you know you're
the pathetic one. How do you live with yourself
bein such a "punk-ass coward"?



I reiterate that any reasonable person would
construe your initial comment to be directed
towards me. That is unless on your planet the
word "you" means something different!



You definitely seem devoid of logic and/or
reason! You're petty small-minded crap is
completely unnecessary.



I guess you could have been a man(or a
mature adult at least) about it ,and reply that
there was obviously some kind of
misundestanding. Just as I predicted your ego
and immaturity stopped you from writing a
reasonable/intelligent reply. How
mainstreamly A-Typical of you.


Finally, my references to fiscal statements of
any kind were due to your statements which
seemed to imply that I don't know about the
value of money. If you want me to explain the
"meaning" of money well...



I think if people judged others on their strength
of character, you'd fail miserably, but lucky you
that's not how it works!

you - 2nd person, singular and plural.

let's zoom in for a close-up, eh?

"you can still suck my dick before next year too!"

i am indicating a potential for the allowance of potential dick sucking, as an analog to the potential for purchasing high priced goods and/or services, ie. "you can still buy ohmforce plugs before next year's higher price."

in no way was i even suggesting that you were going to, or would be interested in, sucking my dick, buy ohmforce plugs, or that you should do either. in fact, if i'm not mistaken, people generally find the prospect of sucking a dick rather unappealing, therefore the posing of an absurdity such as my 'offer' may easily be recogised as sarcasm by anyone who is not interested in this activity.

it's a logical argument known as "reductio ad absurdum," wherein one follows an supposition to an illogical end. you'd recognise that, if you were familiar with basic classic forms of logic, wouldn't you?

now. let's make the assumption that my original statement is intended to be insulting. let's consider exactly who the target may be. well, given the recursive form of my words (ie. how the structure mirrors the ohmforce offer) it would work very well as an insult towards the maker of the initial offer, wouldn't it?

see, as an insult, that's exactly how it works. i'm creating a parallel to, as mentioned above, suggest that i find the offer to buy before prices go up exactly as seductive as my statement.. (ie. not.) it's not even like it's really any major insult at all.. you see, despite my present sequester, i've been implicated in many densely populated campaigns and as a result engaged in frequent negotiations with non-aligned entities. in fact, many times, the 'suck my dick' event occurs in extremely minor exchanges, ie. "gimme a bite of your sandwich," "suck my dick" structures abound, and amicably, in numerous human situations. however, if the potential for hostility exists before this event, then it may easily be brought to the fore.

now.. who was i, friend or foe?

which would you rather me be? which did you choose?

do you see how you took my statement to be an insult directed towards you when, in actuality, it wasn't in the slightest?

and you want to talk about jumping to conclusions?

now. let's create a scenario to lend some objectivity:

jim and mike are at lunch. jim wants to buy a new car. mike says "hey jim, i hear the prices on the x2000 are going up next year, but they have a special offer where you can still buy one this year for less" and jim says "well you can still fuck my fat ass wife before next year too." now mike's seen jim's wife, and she's not something that would be good for fucking at all, in the same way that he's not developed any appreciation for sucking on dicks. he's not going to fuck jim's wife, he knows jim's not going to fuck her, and, after the crucial statement, he's pretty sure jim's not interested in buying an x2000 at any price.

but that's all.

now if mike wasn't particularly sharp, he might not catch the parallel between the offer made by the makers of the x2000 and jim's statement, and he might think that he'd been insulted and get very angry and start calling people names.

now let me give you some advice.. first an fyi.

i envision a potential for humanity of cooperative benefit. this potential is unreachable with current memes.. look at you! the first thing you did was (probably eagerly) interpret my statement as hostility and flame me! did you even doubt it for a second????

so, okay, let's humour you and follow out your little hostility desire to it's conclusion.. well, you didn't run away, and no one was killed, so we're ultimately reduced to communication.. of hostility towards one another. ahh, hostility, so enriching.

if you understood the above, then you're currently aware that i intended no insult initially, but i have since insulted you, and you're dead bent on making sure you reply in kind (shit is your life that dull?)

well, the first thing is.. excellent! congratulations on seeing your initial error!

and now for that advice.. stick it up your ass. i'm not interested in cooperating with you, i'm only interested in helping people get their tunes going (regardless of commerical or other potential.. industrial humans are so uncreative) and making sure you see the complete futility of aggression, by embodying complete aggression and perpetuating it for anyone who's looking for it. so you can come up here and say what you want, and i can too. i'll tell you now, i like to do it. a lot. helping you realise what a stupid tosser you are is your first step! i'll be here tomorrow, and the day after, you understand?

really, you ought to thank me for keeping you company. good luck in your struggle to find out the really important thing about what people think of high prices. as you progress, remember to keep an open mind next time you feel you've been insulted. i'm going to make sure you don't forget by dragging it out as long as you need.

oh, and while you're at it, die, like a big stupid loser dumbass you are, heh heh.

deep.

But xoxos have you considered the saying "Speak to people according to their understanding"

explained thus (above) your original position/post becomes clear, but, surely you realised that it COULD be misinterpreted? - it is VERY subtle, the difference that is.

Perhaps it'd have been better phrased thus:

"heh, THEY can still suck my dick before next year too! "

Anyways, regardless of all that, the GOOD news is that there is a miriad of freeware filter and other plugs of that ilk which pretty much cover what the Ohmforce plugs do... wether they do it EXACTLY the same is a combination of how you use them really... so it's not the end of the world as there is plenty of other choices for a good automatable filter etc.

As to the raising of prices sketch, well that's an inevitability across the board with all products in all product areas, cars, houses, clothes, hi-fi, tv, they all tend to go up whilst previous technology gets relegated to the bargain basement prior to being phased out.

but for example, I can go and buy a 32" Panasonic widescreen Tv now with a 5 year waranty for around 850 quid in the UK... it's a TV, but it costs the price of a small cheap house from 30 years ago. When we were nippers my old man nearly bought an old chappel for us to live in (like all hippy families were were poor) and it was... £280 quid freehold!!

makes you think eh!

>> you - 2nd person, singular and plural.
[Xoxos]


That's right! You(Xoxos), as the second party
in this discussion, would be seemingly
referring to me, or other people including
myself! Who the hell would one assume
you're talking about a third party?


>> you little piglets can nestle your
scratchy little chins down there as well. what -
do you want me to respect him for raising his
prices? [Xoxos]


By rudimentary deductive logic, I would
assume you weren't referring to them, so
that's leaves myself. If not who is "him"? How
could you(Xoxos) be referring to an
company/organization?


>> do you think it's really important what i
say about him raising his prices?[Xoxos]


Here is another example of the above! By him
you're reffering to a third party that wasn't even
involved in the disscusion?



>> 'gentlemen, consider these two
points:

fig. a: "pay me more"
fig. b: "slow-w, slow-w,"

watch intently. when you see the resemblance
start to form, have a ing cool party dude,
because your i.q. has increased, lucky
you!'[Xoxos]



I fail to see how that is even coherent, let
alone makes much sense. Are you trying to
say that wasn't an ATTEMPT at "intellectual
elitsm", regardless of who you were replying
to?


>> you're such a victim, aren't you (ever
popular, ever pathetic role) and i'm such a
wicked fiend, aren't i.[Xoxos]


Another assumption based on a false/invalid
preconception!



>> What the freak xoxos? ooh watch your
mouth son [Xoxos]



One of many pointless "smart-ass" comments
that was COMPLETELY unnecessary, and
what SEEMS to be a poor attempt at being
derogatory!



>> You're attack on me was totally
unfounded! "your." i attacked you? [Xoxos]



Thanks for the English lesson there. Really
wanted/needed or pertinent!


>> When did I say I was an OHMForce
team member, huh? when did i say you
were??[Xoxos]



(See above) For the reasons stated above,
one would assume you did.



>>Whatever! I haven't even tried/heard
their plugins yet. do i care?

I did think that I remembered people here
liking at least OhmBoyz and/or Frohmage.
cool. see above.[Xoxos]



I fail to see how my comment wasn't relevant
to trying to explain how I couldn't see where
you seemed to get your assumption about my
vocational position.



>gt; What makes you think I don't
understand the meaning of money? Another
assumption? do you enjoy imagining that all
statements not pertinent to you are?
interesting exercise, but remember to
discriminate between them and reality.[Xoxos]


Under the impression that the word "you" isn't
reffering to a 3rd party, how isn't it pertinant in
explaining I have no affiliation with "them"(not
you!)?



>> I bet I know the meaning of money
way more than you do! I guess you probably
assumed I'm posting this from some kind of
super computer or something, but the fact is
that I don't personally own a working PC/Mac.
oh you poor thing. here, i'll let you feel like a
sorry victim as much as you like and then you
can say i was mean and wrong and you won
our big argument, eh?[Xoxos]


(See above)



>> you know, looking back at the rather
undirected nature of my first statement, i'm
guessing that whenever there's a crowd of
people and someone yells "hey moron" that
you turn around to see if they were talking to
you.[Xoxos]


Undirected? Your statement was directed at
the "you" to which you refer. You tell someone
to 'go to hell' and they would reasonably
assume you are speaking to them, wouldn't
they?


>> in fact, if i'm not mistaken, people
generally find the prospect of sucking a dick
rather unappealing, therefore the posing of an
absurdity such as my 'offer' may easily be
recogised as sarcasm by anyone who is not
interested in this activity.[Xoxos]


Ahhh, here we go again with more immature,
ignorant and inflamatory statements. The way
your statement was written was implying you
meant to be unnecessarily degrading, not
sarcastic!


>> it's a logical argument known as
"reductio ad absurdum," wherein one follows
an supposition to an illogical end. you'd
recognise that, if you were familiar with basic
classic forms of logic, wouldn't you? [Xoxos]


Let's see. What you stated would logically not
be taken literally. Therefore, one can assume
you meant it as an insult! A crude expression
with negative connotations. As for my grasp of
basic logic, I think I have shown to be logical
in this complete thread. For you to imply that I
don't is a complete oxymoron!


>> do you see how you took my
statement to be an insult directed towards you
when, in actuality, it wasn't in the
slightest?[Xoxos]



Maybe it wasn't aimed at me, but I can't seem
how any logical person would construe that it
wasn't.[shrug]



>> so, okay, let's humour you and follow
out your little hostility desire to it's conclusion..
well, you didn't run away, and no one was
killed, so we're ultimately reduced to
communication.. of hostility towards one
another. ahh, hostility, so enriching.

Hmmm... Pure hypocrisy on your part there!



>> i envision a potential for humanity of
cooperative benefit. this potential is
unreachable with current memes.. look at you!
the first thing you did was (probably eagerly)
interpret my statement as hostility and flame
me! did you even doubt it for a second????



Your statement was obviously hostile. It's
more an issue of you(Xoxos) using the word
"you" in a way that I can't see as being
applicable in context.



>> and now for that advice.. stick it up
your ass. i'm not interested in cooperating with
you, i'm only interested in helping people get
their tunes going (regardless of commerical
or other potential.. industrial humans are so
uncreative)



How does that fall in line with your stated
philosophy of "i envision a potential for
humanity of cooperative benefit. this potential
is unreachable with current memes..".
Hypocrisy! Don't you think that people who
LIKE to indulge in arguement, seemingly just
boost their own ego, are at fault. I don't like
feeling like I should contribute a rebuttal, but
due to your attitude I have felt it neccessary to
continue, so far. My primary goal was and is to
delflate your ego and bring you back "down to
earth".



>gt; remember to keep an open mind next
time you feel you've been insulted. i'm going to
make sure you don't forget by dragging it out
as long as you need.

An "open mind"? Hypocrisy! Also, I thought you
claimed that continuing the arguement any
farther was an extreme exercise in futility?
This is one place where we agree! In fact, if it
wasn't for your last statement I would have left
it alone.



To summarize, I hate people who antagonize
other people for no reason at all. Most people
on the internet seem to know these types as
"trolls" and have at least equal disdain for
them. I will however except that you may have
not come across the way you initially intended
to. I hope you can see that as "overboard" as
my retorts were, they were in direct response
to your attitude and "overboard" and "out of
place" insults.
