Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?

Ok, I have to agree with the OP here.  This is an "audiophile" forum where like-minded individuals come to discuss and debate.  This does not mean that any j***a** can just come in and beak off because they don't have anything better to do.  There are forums for a reason.  It would be like me going into a food forum and saying "All you b**ches suck at cooking!"  That would probably be it for any future posting there.  So a whole thread gets deleted because of 1 or more individuals?  It's really a kick in the nuts (or groin) for all the people who invested their time and effort.  Who really gets hurt here?  Exactly, the the backbone of the forum.  It's about time to get some nads and do the right thing.  If you can't relate and/or debate politely and constructively, then maybe your energy can be used someplace else.

A cooking forum is way more in a thin focus about world matter than an audiophile forum...

Here we speak about commercial, geopolitical, philosophical, scientific , and many others matter IMPLICATED in the business and in the hobby...

No cooking forum debate about inflated price of wheat...

Look at the vast varieties of audio threads and their opening question...

Then i agree with the politeness and constructive part,but it is impossible for all to agree on all matters RELATED to audio...

Try to make a list of matters related to audio... good luck, you will review all matters who exist even zoology...For example the different reactions of animals to sound and music...Even mathematics are related to audio by acoustic and digitral Fourier analysis...What a bat can hear? and what is listening is a neurology problem also...

Then will you ban some mathematician contesting the use of Fourier analysis in the definition of what a sound is?

Will you ban someone who discuss geopolitic and postal fees and all problems linked to world wide audio industry?

 I think we must BAN NO ONE....

It seems the fashion in Canada and in America now is to BAN everything we dont like...

Difficult and insane job...By insane people sorry....

The issue is not "denial" or even "affirmation" -- it's claims without evidence or reasoning.

That's why calls for "free speech" are really misplaced. They're like asking mom and dad to settle a fight that the kids should settle themselves.

The issue the OP described is not something to adjudicate with rules but with shared norms. The best way for a group to reprimand baseless claims -- affirming or denying -- is to push back, counter-argue, shame, or ignore. Not call for rules from above. Because after all, all a conversation really has are the norms it creates for itself.

An audio forum is "sandlot baseball."

So: push back, counter-argue, shame, or ignore

Some purists here just don't seem to get it. This is not a book one can choose not to read and lay down (or toss in the garbage). This type of venue relies on good intentions and honesty, above all else. All of this is done remotely so all the pontificating on what transpires in a public (not virtual) space really can't be applied here, so we rely on people behaving civilly. 

When they fail to behave civilly and refuse to stay on topic, we are now stuck with them and they know it. Remote as we are, we're all part of a larger, captive audience and it seems that some take great joy in disrupting, so what I said above still applies. That freeway and lake are beckoning...heed their siren call.

All the best,

people get to come here, say what they want - if it is out of line, mods may intervene, or other users can call b-s, as it is also their right to do so
