About users with hidden agendas


If you know that a user is a dealer and they fail to disclose and attacks other users because they make a point against their interest, do you expose the user?

I know of a gentleman here that continuously posts and goes after people and does not disclose who he is. 

What are the ethics of this forum?

Maybe I'm missing something here?
A fellow called Gene basically calls Synergistic Research products snake oil, and indirectly (or directly?) Ted Denney a liar. By the way, I've been called a liar in Agon myself, I think the exact words were, "rixthetrick is dealing in bad faith. Plain and simple."
I'm not perfectly honest, who truly is? Whether or not I was about the specific thing I was accused of, opinions vary.

Ted Denney, didn't simply accept the accusations and reacted by challenging the accuser. Unless I'm missing something not obvious, or I need to read further, isn't rebuttal of an accusation the actions of the innocent, as well as the guilty?

I don't know about all of SR's products, but my Master Coupler at least grips the terminals on my amp better, and it seemed to me to give a little more meat to my bottom end, without any detriment to the higher frequencies, so I like it.

Who in here has first hand personal knowledge of the order of events as they took place in this feud? Ted obviously, Gene as well, so Pesky and Jerry I can see you have taken it upon yourselves to out Ted, why? Sense of civic duty?

You can fully have I go at me, I'm really not important or much of a threat, influence or anything, I'm just curious about motives. Ted's motives are natural, as I said, for an innocent man or the guilty - I do get it.

@mahgister you’re one of the lads in here, few are foolish enough to argue with you.
You do what you do with what you have, resourcefulness and ingenuity are your shield and sword.

I have read what you’ve said many times, and weighed it up with what others have also stated, and have been finding my way to embed my system into what I have now. It may not be the exact way you did it, but acknowledge the recipe, with my different ingredients. Just as you have done some of the things I do (isolation) your way with your choices.

You don’t get bullied, well perhaps challenged, but nobody wants to really take your horns so to speak.

You have many friends in here, and I don’t see that you’re in any real trouble -

I never said anything against Ted Denney products..

I only post in the threads he initiate like i did in any interesting subject thread in audio here, and i was even interested to discuss with him because some of his products included Shuman generators and some electronical way to modify the acoustic of a room, why not? I myself used a grid of small tuned S.G.

All people dont own a dedicated audio rom like me and anyway to do the same thing that his product did to the room at no cost i must use no esthetical devices and a great numbers of these devices made with discarded materials ... My audio room look like a "mad scientist laboratory"...

But when i posted something about acoustic in his thread instead of discussing in a gentleman way he make inuendo to ridiculizing my virtual page...Not one argument save the look of my room...

This give us an idea of what kind of persona is hidden by the company he represent...

I dont condemn his products i never listen really to them... I condemn the childish method of this dude...

I dont want anything more to do with someone like that...

Audiogon is supposed to be a place for anyone, even sellers are welcome, but not for bully...his method with me was ad hominem attack... I am not the first it seems ... I just see the story here of Jerry123, it is difficult for me not to trust his side of the story knowing how mr. Denney operate...

Then this has nothing to do about the value or not of his product...

It is a small paranoiac chidish bully for me who will never apologize for anything about anything... Nothing else...I think he perceive me and my method like a menace to his enterprise thats all...Then i will never trust him for anything...

Thats all.there is to say for me...

By the way people who discuss with me know that i use arguments and some knowledge...I dont bully or attack ad hominem... And i can admit if i am wrong and i apologize...But when i am not wrong i dont back...And i can proved my point ....
