oregonpapa,
Oh, right, except for, you know, this part about skeptics:
So, yeah, your attitude is all positive for anyone who will share your view that fuses obviously make a sonic difference, but not so much it seems for a dissenting view.
There was no way to know who YOU think to be the "worst of the lot" or any suggestion that one can reasonably be a skeptic about fuses. Given this, your "dis-invite" looked suggestive of a general swipe against people who would voice skepticism of your claims. As in "Stay out if you aren't going to agree with my view that fuses cause obvious sonic differences!"
Note that virtually EVERY skeptic here, no matter how careful or nuanced their position, has been castigated in the same vein as being "Negative Nellies" (and "psuedo skeptics" etc).
So your name-calling of skeptics didn't offer any obvious reason to distinguish any individual vs just "those who will voice skepticism."
Nothing but positivism.

Debbie Downers and Negative Nellie’s have hijacked the original RED fuse thread. A pox on their houses and their Pioneer receivers.

Yes, I did dis-invite the worst of the lot.
