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.”

Only think twice before accusing others of trolling, and before despising someone because they are not from YOUR political agenda or party...You have practice these accusations without end here...

The world crisis is impossible to understand with Biden/Trump polarizations...

We need something a bit more larger for perspective......

The larger perspective is where I come from. What I promote is not political but happens to be of the perspective of most sane people who are not of the alt right variety, which happens to have captured an entire political party in a two party system.

Is that too difficult to understand? To fall for the canard that there are only two parties is silly. It's not a binary choice. That, and it's not a 50/50 divide either. Allow me to illustrate. How the voting areas fell is the first map in the upper right. It's just land area and not population.The actual number of people (volume) is represented in the map below it.

What's purported to be a 50/50 split is more along the lines of 75/25, and that's being generous. All this backs up my point that I'm not being political and I just represent the general consensus of the overwhelming majority of the country. How it's portrayed in the media is a disservice and if you fall for it, that's on you.

All the best,
