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.”

This is getting too easy...

I am happy to say that you may be right here...But i hope you will not appeal to my ban in the desert...

I spoke too much yes...i hope with originality, arguments and the less insults possible or the less rudeness possible...

But anyway there is always a LINK between my posts matter...

I know for sure you are very intelligent you will discover it...

Humans invented language precisely by eliminating authoritatian apes self censorship? By inventing laughing and synchronized polyphony and rythms a marvellous social tools...They create a ladder toward the symbolic unreal world, and this social virtual new created world was used as tool to manage in a better way, education and hunt in the real world...Is it not extraordinary?

This is the reason why i posted a link to a very interesting conference about the origin of language and his link to music as social tools...There is a lesson hidden here...

Do you see the link with the censorship matter and the polarization of society?

Or am i out of the discussion always in the fringe of " idealism"?

Or just pedantic for the sake of being pedantic?

A little bit pedantic,yes, i assume my human defect...

You are not completely wrong...

Perhaps one day we will laugh of one another?

😁😊

 

My best to you...

Because i am not wise enough in spite of my age, i like to discuss, and i like people, even those i disagree with...

I am retired, and i miss the students discussion...

And i am a bit "pedantic" say nonoise and i think there is a bit of truth here... 😁😊

but i prefer to be pedantic than ideologically too much politicized...

I am very frank also...

Thank you for your concern,

my deepest respect.....

mahgister,

Why do you even bother?

 

I am hesitant to respond here as these tribal tennis matches have no solution. I would suggest to nonoise, I cannot determine if he is feigning naivety or being disingenuous in the assertion that "if one is really intent on getting out their message , go to the nearest public square.....".  The public square is unfortunately now social media and internet forums. Even the traditional college campus free space- once a bastion of free speech- is now unsafe for varying views from youthful idealism; it has been muzzled. I support a private business right to set norms for their site, until their site transforms into a shared platform of national/international scope; when it becomes the de facto method of communication, like the telephone once was . Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter.....these are now THE conduit for information worldwide. When that happens, a site owner loses some flexibility in my eyes.
