Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?

@emailists 

But in the same way people get the leadership they deserve, I suppose people get the audio forums they deserve.

Didn't want to disagree once more but aren't you making a mistake here in assuming how democracy actually works (compared to how it should perhaps)?

In the US you have a choice between Democrats and Republicans, in the UK you can have either Labour or Conservative, and in Russia you can choose Putin etc.

Some might argue it hardly matter who you choose, it's those with the financial clout that will remain in ultimate control.

At least here in Audiogon forum I'd like to think we have a little more choice in all of the ongoing debates.

I don't have a particularly good memory and as a consequence am unable to hold any lasting grudges against my fellow forum posters with whom I might not always see eye to eye.

Take for example @mahgister - whilst I find his posts interesting I don't always agree with them. I would expect that half the time we're seeing things the same way (namely I suspect because I don't have, or even want, his background in philosophy) and the other half perhaps quite differently.

Nevertheless it's a privilege to have access to differing opinions, and it's one that should be encouraged and not censored.

As an adult, when it comes to reading anything, I prefer to be my own censor.

I have a good memory... 😁😊

But i dont have grudges against anyone, even the guy who accuse me of kiiling people with mes posts years ago...😁

Life is too short...

But i love discussion and i could be passionnate... The things that annoy me the most is fanaticism in political matters ...

The world is too complex to be reduced to conditioned Pavlovian left/rigth reactions, especially after this pandemy and this war....

Thinking is mandatory....And the planet is not North America....

And if without historical knowledge people are condemned to repeat past errors,without philosophical maturity they cannot decide where they must go and how to go there, then they resort to ideological means and empty gurus....

Swedenborg may be the most difficult read in all of philosophy. I tried numerous times and even my Professor advised against it. Said he was brilliant but too obscure for his own good.

Or maybe it's the translation.

As for fractals and the thumbprint of God has anyone tried to turn its patterns into music? Beyond me but seems like it could be done. 

Not sure the word 'denier' is appropriate on a forum where there is concensus on absolutely nothing.

A Denier is someone who denies something in the face of overwhelming evidence that the thing in question is factually true. 

I can't think of any views that are held by all, or even the vast majority of audiophiles.  Even the prime directive, 'If it cost more, it must be better', is being questioned.
