fair complaint about Audiogon, violating no guidelines, removed

The knee jerk editorial reactions by the moderators to slightest objections whether warranted or not by some of the oh so sensitive complainers is becoming ludicrous. Trying to get clarification or content republished is not made easy, and often times not responded to. The arbitrary censorship is becoming more and more frequent. It used to be better here.

Dear Mitch2,
I didn't want to say the radio was without its faults. Truth is, the Manual Tuner has one major drawback (in my experience- I'm on my 3rd model over 15 years). Dust and/or wear and tear takes its toll in the form of excess noise when tuning in stations (and in-between, too). By tuning (with the Vol. turned down) back and forth 3-4 times all the way from one end to the other, the noise will dissipate for awhile. But the more you use the tuner the worse it gets. I give my older one away (still works of course) and just go on the internet and get another (for about $100). Of course you have the Internal/Ext.Antenna switch on the back as another option. But maybe you can fix the tuner if you go inside. 

Teo has a good point about people in the USA not desiring to SELL items to people in Canada…. and it is called stupid shipping pricing!
Plain and simple.

I fail to see how the USPS cannot match Canada Post or even England post for shipping items international.

I have bought so many items from England and Canada but sell them?
Shipping costs make it near impossible.

I believe that is all Teo is referencing, nothing more.

For me, the irritation includes the shipping issues as mentioned already, the customs clearance fees, taxes, and delays particularly when purchasing from private individuals.  I will purchase from folks like Partsconnexion or from equipment manufacturers, but after one particularly irritating and costly purchase, I no longer trade with individuals in other countries.  It is clearly stated on my posted ads and is a choice I am allowed to make.

One time A member claimed that he bought total close to $400,000 worth of Amplifiers within 2-3 years of time frame. I was curious to check his previous audiogon posts and found ZERO posts in the last 2-3 years. I then stated that I didn’t believe his claim and .My post got on removed! There is legit reasons I didn’t believe that claim. I believe a false claim will do more harm to Aufiogon forum than a not believing comment
