Who's running this show?
I’ve hung around Audiogon for several years, have enjoyed it, and have learned alot. I find the forum discussions to be interesting and entertaining.
There were two threads that were recently removed by a "moderator". The first was the one regarding ASR featuring the one and only Amir. It ran for a long time and had well over one thousand posts. Then one day it’s magically gone. The second thread was entitled What will you not buy? and had gone on for a few/several days. It had over three-hundred posts and then earlier today it went away.
This is Audiogon’s site and they can do with it what they wish. If I’m unhappy I’m free to go. I’m okay with that. Here is my interest: who is Audiogon? It seems to be a mystery. There is absolutely no editorial voice, no communication with the administrators/officers/owners etc. Other forums that I visit have some dialogue between the members and the powers that be. T
To quell this curiosity I did a bit of online searching and found out a few things like the presidents name, location, number of employees, etc. This was all third party information; I found no presence at all from Audiogon. Again it’s their business and none of mine. But curiosity killed the cat and likely this thread will suffer the same fate. Anyone else find this interesting or unusual?
If the basic law keeps evolving all the time does it have any real meaning and weight ? Freedom of speech can have only one meaning - you have the right to say anything to anyone anywhere. Audiogon has no legal right to restrict it. Whether you exercise your right or not is up to you. If anyone thinks it's a downward trajectory mess here take a look at what's been happening in France. Or is it to France ? Either way that is truly scary, and potentially even more so. |
The general consensus appears to be that heaven = upwards direction and hell = downwards direction But, the earth keeps spinnin round and round on me... I can't seem to tell exactly which way's up and which way's down... I hope i end up in the right place when i board that single stage to orbit vehicle... |
“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.” —Martin Niemöller |
Hi @uncledemp, just the Odd of the 'Gon mostly hear... Ummm....given the load the SCrOtUS just laid in our laps..... F March, anyone know the Ides of July? Is the 'Civil War' pic an instructional vid? Even the 'Greater Law Community' is a bit back on heel over This One. Will posts like these find one eventually standing in front of a pock-marked wall without a blindfold? Like the birds reminded...."Attention" ;) |
@inna yes, audiogon as a private company can censor and restrict speech all it wants without violating the First Amendment, would stay that only the government shall not a bridge free speech. audiogon will only run into trouble and so on can prove theyre restricting speech based on racial or other discriminatory practices |
