Those who seek to deny access to information
Like many/most here, one of the main reasons I frequent audiogon is to gather information. I am looking for ways to enhance the enjoyment I get from listening to music on my system. The information most valuable to me comes from those who share their actual experience with products that I am interested in, but have not heard in my system.
The audio community is a diverse one, with many opinions, ideas and perspectives. Many of them differ from mine, and that is fine. Those who disagree with me are free to make posts and start threads about whatever they choose. This doesn’t bother me, I am free to choose what I read, and what I don’t.
What does rile me up up is deliberate attempts to deny me (and others) access to the information that I value. There are some here who repeatedly seek to disrupt, sidetrack, derail, and shut down conversations about topics and products that trigger them. They do not contribute any useful information or experience to the discussion, and make disparaging comments about things they have zero experience with. They are bullies who mock, ridicule and provoke those who use, make and sell certain products. They seek to stifle any discussions about, and especially positive opinions of, the products and people they clearly have a vendetta against.
They can start their own threads, and talk about what a fool I am all day long, I don’t care. Their deliberate and repeated attempts to deny myself and others access to the information we value, however, are intolerable.
@thyname … Accusing others of making incendiary comments when you yourself openly admit that you practice exactly what you accuse others of … thereby contributing directly to the Admin taking threads down …

You guys knock me out. @rodman99999 , @tommylion You both need a little less mystery and a little more reality in your lives. So, Tommy you hand me a picture of a Grayhound bus and tell me you can't wait to fly down to Florida on it. I look at you crossways and comment, "I hate to tell you this but buses do not fly" You then try to convince me that I am FOS because I have never flown one. This is exactly how stupid both of you sound. When you have absolutely know idea what is going on you have the license to come up with any story you can imagine and call it truth? I think it is pretty obvious our educational system is not working. | ||
@nonoise - You mean there can never be any consensus? I’ve been hanging around this site, for 12 years now, as well as staying abreast of the debates, between the most esteemed theorists of various scientific fields of endeavor, for several decades. Regardless of the scientific facts that have been established, through experimentation, improved measurement methods and testing, over those decades; some (Classical) Physicists still want the universe to make sense. But (largely): it doesn’t. SO (likewise): the same brand of convoluted, stale arguments and you’re absolutely correct:
