Why is it so much more civil over here on Agon?

I do see a few situations arise like that one on audiogon, but never to that extreme. It's not about being a newbie. Some people believe strongly that if you aren't sending a load through the tube amp, you shouldn't leave it on. That's not exaclty newbie knowledge. That's a reason not to hang out at AA. I never did like that site. The layout, and the members like that just plain suck.

im with jond,leave em over at AA,i dont go to AA much just beacuse i dont care for the format of the whole site.

i also agree with rives,guys who post responses like that always remind me of the sissy's in high school who always had to try to make others look stupid in order so they could look good then go tell the teacher after you wear em out.

FWIW, while there may be some JD's with bad manners and a poor sense of humor at AA (and of course there are none on this site) there are some extremely knowlegable people who post there and share their knowlege and experience generously. Lurking on the site is worthwhile for this if no other reason. You might just learn something of value.

You are in big trouble now...you should have never posted that link...didn't you know that here at Audiogon we are all extremely sensitive to things like that? I already can envision the beating you are now going to have to endure from our more conservative members...you know...the ultra stuffy ever so serious ones...you had better start running now...very fast...I'll even let you know who's gonna be coming after you full force.

Watch out for Marco (Jax2), Dean (Gunbei) and especially Chris (Slappy)...I really hope that they don't ever see this thread because if they do...I think that not only will they be so offended by the crass subject matter, they will initiate the movement from having you banned from the audiophile community forever.

I'm telling you...these guys mean business!!!

Consider yourself warned.

yeah, lynch him using zip cord!
