It's because nearly any mention of politics in connection with subject matters triggers someone who says something ridiculous and then there's a food fight and then the thread is shut down. Here's a template: These speakers are good. They're made in China. China policy was wrecked by X party. No, China was wrecked by Y party. At least X party didn't do A, B, C. You're only saying that because you're a moron. THREAD DELETED. |
yeah often times what hilde45 stated happens. I would like to add the following additional reason. Thread topic and question clearly stated: Original poster "I am looking for a new CD player in the $1000 range. I have narrowed down my choices to two players, the yankee and zebra. Does anybody have any experience with these players?" Response 1 "Yeah I have had the Yankee and it’s a great spinner, and you can connect an external DAC to improve the sound." Response 2 " Have you tried the alpha, it’s a great CD player" Response 3 " I have the delta deluxe and I would get that one. It’s about $10,000 but you can get it used" Response 4 " I would suggest the Bravo model dealer, It’s the best one we carry at our store. I can get you a deal for $15,000.00. It will trounce any other CD player". Response 5 " Turntables are better than CD players. You are in incompetent moron for wanting something digital. And your mother wears combat boots". Original poster, " All I want is a budget CD player, not trying to start a war, but you guys s**k". Post and eventually the thread gets deleted somewhere down the line. |
@2psyop Nice! I think we have a creative new genre, here: The Ways Audiogon Threads Go Wrong. Or, Threads Gone Wild. Here's another iteration (from a while back but still in living memory): OP: I'm looking to get some isolation for some components in my system. Where is the best place to start? "Isolation is snake oil. Better to spend on a new turntable." Thread deleted. |
