Axe to grind know it alls

Recently I have noticed that there are people who apparently enjoy having controversial posts. One in particular stands out. I have no problem with people expressing different opinions but are they doing this just to get attention? They don’t care what the responders to their posts have to say as only their opinion is the correct one and everyone else is wrong unless they agree with the op which is rare.

I have always looked at the Audiogon forums as a resource to get information and exchange ideas . When the post is a one way street, I think it does little if anything to contribute to the forums so going forward I will just ignore their posts.  Anyone else irritated by these posers?

*S* Thanks for the offer, Eric....but save it for a more deserving party.
At least this forum is living up to it's title....

OK, I'll be the sacrificial goat for this 'next' page....

"Hurryhurryhurry, step right up...offers like this don't fall from trees!"

Who amongst 'you' would prefer to stake me over a fire ants' nest as opposed to reading my drivel?

(I'm going to operate under the statement that it's 'good to keep your friends close, but your enemies Closer...")

No axes, Please.  I 'leak' easily enough in Real Life...(blood thinners...)...

Here's the problem. this kind of thread becomes the one that people hoard to, to make comments, and when I post a thread about room treatment I get very few responses. So while the OP here creates an irrelevant thread, it gets top billing while those that create the potential to learn something and share experience seemingly go unnoticed. .....and no, I'm not trolling, just find it frustrating.

@falconquest ....Unfortunately, you're correct.  Occasionally a forum opens with a ludicrous statement that draws the worst of our commentary.  I'm just as guilty as some....

We 'ought' to be more focused on helping each other get the best out of our Existing systems, or the posted query regarding whatever pesters the OP.

Too often, though, 'preference' overrules simplicity; "Well, you ought to be using/buying/applying 'X', and while you're at it...."

The old Roman Games comes to mind....

...but, I'm just weird....
