Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?


Why should we be subjected to audiophile deniers, on a site dedicated to audio?
It’s antithetical to the hobby and adds nothing to the pursuit. I want to quote something from another thread.

@djones51 wrote "exposing bull products like "audiophile switches, cables, fuses " and other highly questionable devices that serve no purpose"

What then, is the purpose of people with this agenda being on this site? To “expose bull products.” It’s fine for someone to post they tried a product and it didn’t work for them, but to dismiss entire product categories is not a discussion that belongs on an enthusiast forum.

Would a car enthusiast site stand for this type of post?

Try going on a Porsche forum, just for example, and posting that your Mustang is just as fast 0-60 and that others poster’s claims about their driving experience is “dubious.” See how long that will be tolerated

There are plenty of sites to poke fun at audiophile’s obsession with cables, power conditioners etc. Why does it belong here, especially when we can’t mute specific posters?

What’s next? Arguing that speakers that measure the same must sound the same and that we are all suckers for buying expensive speakers? I thought we got rid of trolling?

Isn’t it obvious with all the ASR related posts here lately we are being trolled?

A couple of months back I read a post here about someone that ordered a new cat8 cable from China. I tried it and posted back my fantastic results for others to benefit.

Personally that’s the kind of forum I’m interested in, not to come here to be challenged about what I hear and that since it can’t be measured so it must be “dubious.”

@immatthewj kind of hard not to have that stupid old fool in your head every time you put gas in your car and go to the grocery store.

40 year record inflation and it was up before Putin shot one shell into Ukraine so that excuse and Covid are not working.

Record low approval ratings for a POTUS. People are fleeing the DNC faster than people are fleeing NY, Illinois and California. 

Matter of fact I am moving to South Dakota. 

FREEDOM!

Political posts here @ A'Gon should be deleted ASAP, IMO, and the posters banned if they continue with such.

I recognize a handful of the "political" posters here from their posts @ Audioasylum, though they use different monikers there.

I burned my bridges @ Audioasylum a while back (after posting there for 20 years) due to unsavory political and other* posts (*date rape drug "joke" posts allowed and even endorsed by one of their mods) that were not deleted.

Aside from DIYAUDIO (which I read, but rarely post @) A'Gon is the only other audio forum I currently participate in, and I would like to continue to do so (without the political crap).

As far as "audiophile deniers" go (the gist of the OP's post) I could care less as I just skim over their repetitive comments without being disturbed by them - it's a hobby (unlike the political posts).
