There are no churches here.
Preachers are obviously not in short supply.
Just the facts ma’am….
Those who seek to deny access to information
Like many/most here, one of the main reasons I frequent audiogon is to gather information. I am looking for ways to enhance the enjoyment I get from listening to music on my system. The information most valuable to me comes from those who share their actual experience with products that I am interested in, but have not heard in my system.
The audio community is a diverse one, with many opinions, ideas and perspectives. Many of them differ from mine, and that is fine. Those who disagree with me are free to make posts and start threads about whatever they choose. This doesn’t bother me, I am free to choose what I read, and what I don’t.
What does rile me up up is deliberate attempts to deny me (and others) access to the information that I value. There are some here who repeatedly seek to disrupt, sidetrack, derail, and shut down conversations about topics and products that trigger them. They do not contribute any useful information or experience to the discussion, and make disparaging comments about things they have zero experience with. They are bullies who mock, ridicule and provoke those who use, make and sell certain products. They seek to stifle any discussions about, and especially positive opinions of, the products and people they clearly have a vendetta against.
They can start their own threads, and talk about what a fool I am all day long, I don’t care. Their deliberate and repeated attempts to deny myself and others access to the information we value, however, are intolerable.

Whenever it comes to the thorny issue of money exchange there will always be those that will seek to deny access to information that they feel might not be in their best economic interests. These last 2 years have amply demonstrated this time and time again. Entire governments worldwide have gotten caught up in the spreading of misinformation and the denial of other certain other information that you would have thought it was their duty to provide.
As a home PC user since 2004 (Windows, unfortunately) I have noticed that whilst there is a seemingly endless amount of products you can buy to help you with your experience of using a PC ranging from antivirus, software and maintenance and repair utilities, there is an almost corresponding silence when it comes to the promotion of free open source software. Some of which is simply brilliant. It’s almost criminal that so much good and valuable hard work by so many gets so little credit. Even some essential free Microsoft products such as checkdisk (CHDSK) system file checker (SFC) and deployment Image Servicing (DISM) and Management get very little publicity online compared to the paid for programs. The power of money?

The Church of the Naysayer Doctrine (like every other faith-based, religious cult) has as many dopes as it does Popes. Bring up anything resembling SCIENCE/PHYSICS, dated later than the 1800’s and they become apoplectic, not having the formal education to comprehend the concepts, or- possible ramifications. THAT would be hilarious, were it not so pathetic! Gimme That Old Time Religion, Gimme That Old Time Religion, etc.
