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.”

I am presuming that since you continue to frequent this forum that you have inwardly digested the guidelines to membership as laid down by the owners of the forum, and in doing so agree to abide by those guidelines.

I am curious regarding your standpoint over the conduct of previous members whom the Owner/Admin/moderators of this forum have concluded to have breached those guidelines and have sanctioned them by removing that persons posting privileges on their forum.

Only for such a sanctioned person to then stick the middle finger up at that governing body , create a new and disparate membership account whilst also attempting , rather badly, to assume another persona in order to frequent this forum against the wishes of the owner/admin.

 

 

I try to act in the best way possible and i try to not judge people...And i speak my mind for each SPECIFIC post i answer to without hating anyone.. (save for some intense emotional response sometimes for sure i am human 😊)

I am not perfect for sure...

but i will not answer your question...

it is not up to me to write, decide in place of the moderators here, but it is my own personal decision to accept to interact with ALL people here ...

I try to interact in the best possible way with people...

Then count me out if you want my vote for censorship...I try to appreciate EVERYONE here...

And i prefer to let you or the moderators track people behaviour ... It is not my hobby...

my best to you....

A most diplomatic answer @mahgister since we both know who we are refering to.

I will respect your position to be somewhat of the swerve that it is. 

I'd sure hate to be a moderator these days, damned if you do and damned if you don't. Human's sometimes can't tolerate other's free speech, and perhaps this with good cause. Intentionally provoking anger in others has been shown to lead to violent acts. Do we really want this? I'll take the moderation over the uncivil few.

If someone is your friend...And if someone is banned for whatever reason by the moderators will you stop to speak to him?

it is not a diplomatic answer...I speak my mind politely thats all...

It is not your business if i speak to someone or not or for what reason...

And the manual or guideline of audiogon is less important to me than the gospel wisdom...

Thanks to you to respect my freedom and the freedom of others...
