Dealers hijacking the discussions

The fish rots from the head down. The bar has lowered, if not eliminated.  All of this is like a slow motion version of the demise of the Krell in the movie, Forbidden Planet.

For those who haven't seen the movie, the premise goes something like this: an advanced culture creates the ultimate device that allows everyone to link in with their minds and create a more beautiful world.

What they got instead were 'creatures from the id'. They simply forgot that there is an unconscious side to their thoughts that once unleashed, destroyed them.

Sounds a lot like what fakebook and twiddle did, doesn't it?

Thanks bar 81. By the way, Audiotroy  mischaracterizes the thread he invaded to make it seem like the poster was confused about which speakers he should consider. The OP indicated that he currently owned Proacs and wanted to upgrade to either used Sasha 2s or Sabrinas. He wanted help in choosing between those two. Then in came Audiotroy to tell him that he should consider others---with his usual thousand words.
I want all to know that I only call out Audiotroy when he invades a thread  in which I am already a participant and hijacks it away from an OP's inquiry. I will never seek him out just to badger him as my time is more important than to be bothered searching for whatever Audiotroy has to say which is always too much.
I truly enjoy this forum and would be sad to see it devolve into an opportunistic salesman's feeding ground. If I can stop the momentum,I will. I will certainly not remain silent or quit because of Audiotroy's misconduct.   

Excellent post Nonoise. I am not sure I grasp the implication specifically re: the thread topic, but I completely get what it says about the world that has been created by the internet.

Audiotroy, even though I’m new here, I’ve belonged to many forums in the last 25 years. I’m not confused what ’hijacking’ is. Nor salesmanship. As I said, if you have something to add, I don’t think anyone would complain, if you did it in a different manner. I think you’re doing yourself a dis-service here. That’s all.
Take care,

@dlcockrum , I was kind of riffing off what @teo_audio was saying. I think that once societal standards are lowered, boundaries that used to be respected, aren't.

I remember when if anyone volunteered that they had something to sell on a thread, all the participants would chime in and ask them not to do it. That's what the 'for sale' section was there for. There was a self policing aspect here that didn't require the mods to step in unless someone got really out of hand. God, I'm starting to sound old.

All the best,
