two comments made by others in this conversation:

> Ok, at that price point (or even a quarter of that) it ceases to be a music player to become a luxury good to be shown by paid influencers on social media. Nothing to see here, move along...

> If you think that is bad, check out the Walkman NW-WM1ZM2 (who at Sony thinks that these names are a good idea?) for a cool $3500

Your response is what everyone will sound like once our robot overlords finally take over. It certainly didn't come from an understanding of the human condition.



Further examples of the same attitude. Such comments are common, which is why I find them "mildly annoying".

I suggest you find a healthier pastime than getting upset about what other people are buying. In the meantime, I'll spend my money however I please. Maybe I'll buy a gold plated Walkman. They look shiny.


It's common for people to point out that something is overpriced?!? Why that can't be, after all, "the market" sez...

And if I tell you that your obvious poking has angered me, will you feel sufficiently positive to walk away from this conversation?

I guess we'll see.


It's plain I angered you with my first reply, but it wasn't intended and I apologised. You replied rudely, so yes I had a bit of a poke, which I'm not particularly proud of. I don't try to wind people up and it doesn't give me pleasure to do so. It just seems especially easy in your case.

It's possible to disagree with people on the internet without getting emotional about it. It's just a conversation about Walkmans. (Walkmen?)


^this is what it looks like when people have called out dang and are trying to make themselves look good. Or at least I hope so otherwise the lack of self-awareness in your posts is getting even worse.

It would be better to read my posts as amused rather than angry.


Your response is what everyone will sound like once our robot overlords finally take over.

Your needless rudeness belies a deeper personal problem.
