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.”

There is always one certainty in life, change happens. The world is undergoing one the largest if not the largest cultural changes in our recorded history. There are a lot of people that are inherently resistant to change and would like for the world to remain in stasis for ever. Like it or not, the internet has provided a voice to everyone around the world. Suddenly everyone's opinion can be communicated 24/7 without filters and that scares many people. Whether you like it or not, this change is too late to stop. 

The people most comfortable in their lives (wealth, housing, job, kids) have the most to loose (in their view) and want the world to remain unchanged. It frightens them when people with nothing to loose grab power and start trying to make their lives better (unions, civil rights, equal rights, etc.). If you didn't fight and claw for the power/wealth/status that you have, then you have no idea how or likely even the will to fight to keep it. 

The world is large enough to share with everyone.

The will for change and the focus on what may come from an unmapped territory is not under the same commanding part of the brain than the focus on what is under our nose and what is our map usefulness on our known territory ....

The problem now is that all our map depict a world which is no more and we need to walk in uncharted water...

The new territory is our own uncharted free mind and we are all brothers on the same boat...China Russian or American or European...

it is the reason why we must think about the origin of civilization itself and about the origin of language and music and about the way our brain work...

The video i recommended above and the Book i just recommend just do that...

My past job was to advise students about reading... I am a bit "pedantic" and i apologize but nonoise was right... 😁😊
