About users with hidden agendas

If you know that a user is a dealer and they fail to disclose and attacks other users because they make a point against their interest, do you expose the user?

I know of a gentleman here that continuously posts and goes after people and does not disclose who he is. 

What are the ethics of this forum?

It is not objective or subjective....objective can give you a guideline for what you subjectively should be hearing/appreciating. Only listening without understanding the specs is ridiculous, as is not listening and only going by specs.

This is a ridiculous argument. It reminds me of Monty Python to tell you the truth.

 

Enjoy one of the funniest sketches of all time. everyone needs to lighten up.

@ted_denney interesting that you can’t, because I just deleted one of my threads with a few comments.

High End audio is all about the subjective enjoyment of our systems, that’s what this hobbies is about for most of us.

That is certainly true, @ted_denney. It's only odd that it needs to be periodically stated.

But for the objectivist mob, High End Audio is about mocking and ridiculing real audiophiles ...

I'm going to quibble with this because the self-described "objectivists" here are often anything but. I think it is more accurate to call them measurementalists. They pretend to know how things sound without ever actually listening to them, will insist that they know what you can or cannot hear in your own room, and cling to their beliefs with a fundamentalist's religious fanaticism.
