@ted_denney While users posting with hidden agendas are clear to see, they’re the ones posting behind assumed names attacking any post, topic, or comment making a subjective observation absent measurements.
As one who has respect for science and all manner of measurements, I am surprised and dismayed at this revelation. To be objective means to me to be dispassionate about the preferences of others and to respect the right to speak freely.
Not having had the opportunity to have read anywhere all of the numerous deleted threads I query whether there was perhaps some other matter of substance which caught the attention of those wishing to burn the threads.
I am sad that Audiogon mods/admin chose to burn the threads rather than simply close the discussion because there were some really super and educational posts/tangents.. Now gone. The lowest common denominator rules.
