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.”

Wise observation...

The other thing that seems rather ironic in all the worries about upholding free speech at any cost is all the self censoring that goes on today.

@sns that is the the justification that the Communisty party in China uses. No really, they do.

That said, this place is better than daytime TV. Drama, intrigue, impersonation, factions, people out to get each other .... it is high art even if the stereos are not.

“ Mind your business...I spoke to everyone here even to you...Spare me your implicit "judgement"...“

 

How Curious … your seem to have shifted your position from free thought and comment for all on this forum…! As well as  the dropping of the mock ( english is not my forte )  in your prose.

China was a self censoring society for millenias...

They invented diplomacy....because they prefered to integrate in their midst invaders  and make commercial alliance  than brutal  imperialism like Romans did...

Cina was many kingdom in an already  large territory seeking unity, tome was a village seeking expansion...

 

 Us we are younger, and dont wanted this self censorship, which is  installed  now in North America...

It begin in plain sight  with our imitation of china politic and social method in the pandemy ...

Some forces are unelected over andbehind  our "apparent " democracies now...

With self censorship, free speech is condemned...The same self censorship destroyed the Soviet Empire he was already in ruins when Reagan give it a push......

We are contaminated now by forces of power and control behind the door of elected poeople, this was so decades ago but now it is visible in plain sight...
