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 see your propensity for being wrong extends to other topics

😁

Trying to correct me by adding historical specifications i will not contradict because they are for sure true but beside the main point i was wanting to make and which you forgot on your rage to be right against me, trying to correct me will not make me wrong on the essential point under discussion: asian society like mainland China resemble and transport his old self through Occidental globalization influence : this china is more self censoring than north america for political and social evident reason ...

All what you added are historical specifications that contradict not my general description and that i will not contradict for sure... I dont contradict like you an evidence by trying to drown the cat of history with facts i cannot and will not contest because they are true but beside the point under discussion ...

The main point was that there is tighter self censorship in traditional more clanic culture than modern nuclear explosed family... did you remind it?

i know you dont like to be contradicted or even discussed but this was the initial point... And this is a fact...

i am sorry if hurted your ego...but you like to correct some no?

 

But if your other historical remarks made sense for sure this sentence make no sense sorry

Most modern Chinese, in their modern business building have less attachment or even feeling for their past culture than Western people do. They know of their history, but it carries little influence.

Whose chinese from where? And modern building dont erase old culture soul and education trasmitted by family contact... And saying that they know their history but it does not make any influence in their soul life is beyond preposterous...

 

You like to correct "deluded audiophile" but you dont like to be corrected or even just discussed ... I  have welcome you in my first post to you yesterday , but you insulted me already two times right after that and truncated first and persist to misread one of my post after that in another thread with no apology at the end ...

Fine manner indeed...

 

 

 

 

 

 

You really are out of touch. "One Child" has been the law until recently in China since 1980. A massive number of Chinese, from early adulthood and on, have barely any interaction with their families except during CNY and on the phone. They "obey" their parents, but their influence is near 0. Whole generations of adult Chinese are growing up with barely any influence from their parents / elders, far less than the average Westerner.

You keep regurgitating what you read in books and articles, but have no lived experience in this matter.

For sure you are right about this...

But this does not contradict my point and dont erase all the cultural, social,psychological pressure which impose this self traditional censorship unknown in nuclear family in north america and that was our initial point when we discussed the new self censoring problem emerging now in north america with the new  censorship mania...

It is not necessary to travel in china to know about post Mao politic on family and demographic...

Anyway thanks to answer me politely...

I am grateful for that...

Good easter night...

Some people in this forum need to get out of their residence and interact with real people for a while. 

It is interesting that the threads that get the most participation are ones that deal with free speech.  Either someone complains there is too much of it—“I shouldn’t have to read other people that mock me”—or complain that they have been censored by the site.

   The first group strikes me as a bit to fragile.  No, being mocked, frequently by people who can be reasonably classified as idiots, isn’t fun.  Ultimately the way to deal with them is to ignore them , like our mothers taught us.  You ask a question about a fuse, 10 people answer, 8 are meanies and two are people with whom you wish to interact, ignore the eight.  Free speech doesn’t mean that you are required to interact with every jerk out there.

   The second group gets more sympathy from me, but usually when they have been censored they have violated TOS .  We may not agree with the TOS, but this is a private site so our “rights” here are not unlimited.
