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.”

Was it hate mail or simply someone presenting a contrary opinion? Please share if you dont mind.

Orwellian/Machiavellian to the core and being followed to a tee!

More nonsense from those who don’t have the slightest idea. Good people on both sides is BS. There are no good Skinheads or Neonazis. To tolerate such is  suicide to society.

Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.

LOL!  Apparently free speech exists on this site via private messages as I got some hate mail last night via Audiogon mail. 

Perfect example of someone who hasn't the faintest idea what the first amendment means. Exactly what I was talking about. 

How do you think to exterminate them or eliminating them ? censorship?

labor boot camp?

Militia anti fascist?

listen to this dude , he know what he is talking about...

One of the great american nowadays...

Good people on both side is BS you said?.... For you all is black and white with no understanding necessary, the only way to  answer will be the same as the extremist: violence and censorship ?

Take a lesson here:

@audition__audio   no, I don't mind.

I tried to share the title of the email last night, but evidently it was a word that the mods deemed to be obscene, although the word doesn't particularly bother me.  The content of the email called me that word, and I would be happy to print it, but it appears that the mods don't like the word.
