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.”

Not exactly no...

All is not black and white...

I am perhaps guilty of loving to discuss too much... 😁😊

But it is better too much tolerance than less...

The only thing i cannot admit is insults with no logical arguments...i can accept insults against me IF WITH logical arguments...My back is enough solid... 😊 Anyway i will answer...Politely is the better...

And a thread is not a "jail" were some are in captivity... If you dont like the "cellmates" you go to another thread no?

I understand where you are coming from here. You are willing to put up with so much BS because in the end it’s worth it. I get it. But for others participating in the thread or others looking in, it’s an ugly situation.

 

 

But it is not a free and open forum here.

Just ask all the outcasts.

This is why the MSM and the Far Left are freaking about Musk buying Twitter. They will lose their blowtorch for their agendas.

As it is now like here they can squash all opposing views.

Sounds like Audio Asylum. Political flame throwing is okay as long as you don’t hurt anyone’s feelings by saying something mean about Fat Donnie.

@immatthewj  The "far left" eh? You mean the ones that invaded Iraq, separated parents from their children at the border, and stormed the Capitol? Oh, yeah, I'm really really afraid of them. Turn off Faux, please, or try to eat healthier. Something is not firing.

@hilde45 

But if I turn of Faux "news" wouldn't that be a form of "censorship"?  And besides, then I would miss Squeaky (aka Tucker) Carlson!
