Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?


Why should we be subjected to audiophile deniers, on a site dedicated to audio?
It’s antithetical to the hobby and adds nothing to the pursuit. I want to quote something from another thread.

@djones51 wrote "exposing bull products like "audiophile switches, cables, fuses " and other highly questionable devices that serve no purpose"

What then, is the purpose of people with this agenda being on this site? To “expose bull products.” It’s fine for someone to post they tried a product and it didn’t work for them, but to dismiss entire product categories is not a discussion that belongs on an enthusiast forum.

Would a car enthusiast site stand for this type of post?

Try going on a Porsche forum, just for example, and posting that your Mustang is just as fast 0-60 and that others poster’s claims about their driving experience is “dubious.” See how long that will be tolerated

There are plenty of sites to poke fun at audiophile’s obsession with cables, power conditioners etc. Why does it belong here, especially when we can’t mute specific posters?

What’s next? Arguing that speakers that measure the same must sound the same and that we are all suckers for buying expensive speakers? I thought we got rid of trolling?

Isn’t it obvious with all the ASR related posts here lately we are being trolled?

A couple of months back I read a post here about someone that ordered a new cat8 cable from China. I tried it and posted back my fantastic results for others to benefit.

Personally that’s the kind of forum I’m interested in, not to come here to be challenged about what I hear and that since it can’t be measured so it must be “dubious.”

Who decide who is a scammer and who is not?

You?

I prefer to test myself ...And i dont sell anything but i dont want to be paternally 

guided like a children...

If it is so easy to you to read THROUGH scammers intention, let me goes my way, i will myself decide for myself..

I dont like scammers groups but i dont like  also ALLEGED and self promoted NON-scammer  professional skeptic group...

I want to listen to each one here INDIVIDUALLY...

Scapegoating is like censorship...I hate it...

Scammers are everywhere these days and many are quite sophisticated in their methods so always beware. Emotional appeals to try and trigger a quick and poorly thought out response is a common tactic. It’s easy to read up and learn about what goes on these days.

 

Cause and effect is a real thing. Live and learn.

Cause and effect are not a "thing"...Nor beliefs...

They are a complex conceptual and experimental process...Sometimes easy to verify...Sometimes not at all...

They are sometimes personal experience...

For example put a shungite piece on an amplifier and put a quartz piece and note the difference... If you experiment it many times you will infer a cause and an effect...

This is an experiment, not a "thing" not a scam...Not a belief...

i dont need that someone point to me a "cause" or an "effect" of his own choice... especially in audiophile threads...

I dont want to be rude with you mapman and i apologize for my posts to you but i must say that...

I know you are a trustful person only a bit more " sceptical" mind that i am...I am a mystic even if i read about sciences... 😁😊
