God, that is sad.

I hope that if anyone here has some form of contact with this lad IRL (as I believe was aforementioned) that they can either guide him towards, or alert a mental health professional or hospital nearby because clearly the lad is not well.

Hope he gets himself sorted out, or that others who care may help him to get the help he clearly needs.

I dont say this to be mean but if you watch his youtube videos you can see he has mental problems. Hopefully he is on some kind of medication and is at least trying to look after himself. Still, he puts up some interesting stuff and his surround setup is undeniably cool. He obviously has a lot of interesting knowledge. Its sad he keeps persisting with all these accounts.

It is a rather sad situation, I really hope he can get or accept some help.

If you are reading the posts here please note there is no malicious or vitriolic ones, only concern.

Take care.

He's back again and this time sending nasty PMs to some users (I could find 2 before deleting his accounts).

He forgot to take his meds this morning?

Why me is all i ask

Jealousy over low covid infections and deaths?

you're not showing any teeth in your pic

At first I thought it was him but couldn't make up my mind. this was weird. I may have the same diagnosis as he does but everything is going right for me medication wise and though my support group could be better at least I have some family. Wish everything would be better for him and sooty.

Here's a picture from a few years ago.

Is it bpd? I probably have it myself, but it's never been officially diagnosed.

i assume judging by what happen to me before I was diagnosed.

Even if I understand and I approve his account deletion, I still miss his technical info scattered here and there - even if submerged by a lot of useless discussions, rants, "in the cat litter" mantra, I must admit some were funny!

I'd like to keep in touch with him - got some tech questions - but I don't know how; it seems he was banned from any other forum as well... his accounts were (apart laserbite34 here):

Andy Summers
andysu
andyblackcat
andyandthecats
JBL 4645
JBLhomeCinema
Dolby CP-200
cat-222ASR

did I forget some?

It does appear that he is still putting stuff up on YouTube as Andy Summers, and has been live streaming as recently as 3 days ago if this is of any help?

Sent him a message, let's see...

I wish you luck!

It is only my opinion but you are probably better off without his technical advice. He was heavily biased towards antiquated pro gear. I also don’t agree with him on near field soundtrack mastering comments. People often interpret louder as better hence the reason for loudness wars in the recording industry. His gear is far from reference level. I don’t believe he has a good understanding of accurate sound. The simplest proof is the complexity of his equipment in where two plus two doesn’t always get you four. Despite having said all this, I think his posts were fun in general but got to keep it civil.

He was a guest on Culturedogs show recently.



Unsure if he will be invited again after that

Thinking back, I think calling him out on repeatedly throwing his money in the cat litter by buying blu-ray and UHD titles he clearly didn't like pushed him over the fence.

And you know what? If I could turn back time, I'd still do the same thing.

He UNsent me five messages in the morning... I'm guessing the content!
