    Yeah, DTB?

    He's one of the most chilled out, totally non-aggressive/confrontational people I've ever met! The very notion of him being a 'cyber-bully' is ridiculous, and ably showcases how fatally divorced 'The Princess' is from any semblance of reality.

    Anyway, we'll leave it there and move onto more positive things!

    The ''Princess''...

    This is the first time I've seen how this guy behaves online. It's vile stuff to be blunt about it. His gear could be great but I'd personally never give it a look as I would not deal with someone who treats people that way, and then has the audacity to blame others and play the victim. Disgusting behaviour.

    Now you have the measure of the man, Simon.

    It's just classic Dunce delusion, the worst of which is him considering it's perfectly acceptable simply to 'cast aside' (in some cases) YEARS of personal insults and vilification from him towards many of the people who attend Owston (and other bake-offs, like NEBO), and for them just to 'forget' all that, as if it never happened, and tolerate his presence in the same room for a whole day, simply to allow him to demonstrate his equipment....

    Anyone who thinks they can behave towards people like that and then expect to be welcome at bake-offs, as if nothing has happened, clearly a) has no concept of human nature, b) is grossly deluded, and/or c) cares not a jot about anyone else other than themselves.

    It ably shows how divorced Dicky-Dunce is from occupying the "reality" he thinks he inhabits and keeps harping on about. The truth is, he doesn't live in the real world, thus has no concept of reality

    Well, the REALITY is that unless he unreservedly apologies (pigs will fly) to all those he's unjustifiably insulted and vilified on his 'forum', with impunity, and deletes the AoS hate thread on there, he'll not be welcome at any AoS-organised bake-off, especially if I'm there, because it would very likely end in tears.

    *THAT* is why he's being stopped from attending the likes of NEBO, and because he'd spoil the whole day for everyone. Absolutely NOTHING to do with whether his gear 'wins' shoot-outs or not, or protecting the interests of "Fireybum", or anyone else, but you'll never get that through to his thick head.

    According to princess cup-cake, I am a shill.
    As such, I must apologise for my constant promotion of Firebottle products.

    Wait a minute, that isn't correct.
    Why let the truth get in the way of your own deluded reality.

    Apart from the name being a little insulting, I, and I'm sure everyone on this marvelous forum, can look after their own interests very well. But the thought is nice.

    When I thought that 'Princess-pit' might be attending the bake off I determined to initially demand an apology for an earlier insult.
    I think I must be getting delusional.

    Haha, quality...

    The bottom line is that if you choose to sit and slag people off on your 'forum' for YEARS, like a cowardly keyboard warrior, sometimes in the most insulting and personal way (for whatever reasons you misguidedly think are justified), ultimately within the small circle of individuals that forms the UK hi-fi community, and in the process alienate yourself from them, then you cannot realistically expect to be welcomed, with open arms, by those same people at future organised social events!!

    Only the most self-centred, blinkered loon would think differently....

    Therefore, what you do is accept the consequences of your actions, stew in your own juice, and embrace the fact that no-one outside of your small band of arse-lickers wants to have anything whatsoever to do with you. In short, you reap what you sow, so learn to live with it.

    Simples!!
