Why is the snake oil topic closed?


Because debunking certain aftermarket accessories might affect Audiogon’s revenue? I don’t get it. There were points to be made. It was just getting "good."

so much name calling...it's an old debate,  dozens of almost identical threads over the years,  but seems to have gotten much nastier lately...
Some over complicate things. It's simple...if like I, you believe there are differences, spend your money, share your experiences with others, and enjoy. If you don't believe there are difference, don't spend your money and enjoy.
It's the way of the world. Turns out we're not all the civilized after all. Too many people get off on being rude, offensive and attract like minded individuals. 

Everything's being viewed through a tribal lens. Polarization is preferred over connection. Contrarians seek the higher ground. Grudges held as a deed for intent to use another time. 

Has anyone noticed how this place has been getting closer and closer to a YouTube forum? This used to be a nice neighborhood. I noticed it a couple of years ago at other sites, usually related to audio mags, where in the comments section, there was an unfortunate amount of profanity and derision being bandied about. I've even seen casual profanity and unwelcome slang on watch sites. I expected car sites to attract the knuckle draggers but watch sites?

Forget my previous lament about the neighborhood: it's the whole planet. We're being dumbed down at an alarming pace. 

All the best,
Nonoise

Leastways, I hope so.
