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.”

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...

 

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.

 

 

 

An unfortunate truth.

Free speech is mostly utilised as an opportunity to state one's ignorance.

 

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

The point being should your hypothetical ‘Friend’ circumvent the consequence of their previous behaviour in the forum owners ‘House’ you are quite comfortable with this arrangement here?

I am not appointed by someone to judge anyone here...

Mind your business...I spoke to everyone here even to you...Spare me your implicit "judgement"...

There is no "point" here save your inquisition in my own affair...

Thanks
