In Reply to: The spirit of Julian Hirsch lives on! posted by E-Stat on June 9, 2006 at 10:24:47:
Dear Sir or Madam,This post is to inform you of two violations of the STH, which, as you know, stands for The Subjectivist Trolling Handbookâ„¢.
Violation #1: Improper usage of the Julian Hirsch strawman. Please note that Chapter 13, verse 30 of the handbook specifies the correct usage of the Julian Hirsch strawman. I've quoted it below for reference.
"Usage: The Julian Hirsch strawman is used for the purpose of characterizing your opponent as someone who believes that frequency response and THD are everything needed to determine the sound of a component. This characterization need not correspond to the actual view of the opponent. In addition, it is not even necessary to know that person's view in order to use the Julian Hirsch strawman to good effect.
Context: The Julian Hirsch strawman is to be used in the context of a discussion of subjective vs. objective characterization of components."
Reason for violation: Context error.
Violation #2: Incorrect usage of the "You are deaf and your system sucks" ad hominem. This is covered in Chapter 18, verse 22 as shown below:"Usage: When you hear something that somebody else doesn't, the only possibility that can exist is that you are right and they are wrong. Therefore, the only possible conclusion is that they are deaf and/or their system sucks - hence the official name of the ad hominem. This technique is to be directed at your opponent only. Directing this at some third party is seldom effective, as it assumes your opponent agrees with the views of that third party. This may not be known.
Context: Used in connection with discussions of what is audible and what is not.
Reason for violation: Context error, and incorrect use of the third person.
Please be advised that continued violations of the Subjectivist Trolling Handbookâ„¢ may result in deduction of Subjectivist Troll Pointsâ„¢. As you and others are aware, you are one of the point leaders in this important competition. Continued violations may disqualify you from receiving highly desirable prizes - such as the microwave tweeter awarded to outstanding achievers in Subjectivist Trolling.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
