About users with hidden agendas

Disparaging comments about Audio Troy are off base. Audio Troy has never hidden that he is a dealer, professional salesperson, and has a wide range of products for sale he likes to aggressively push. There are not many bricks and mortar stores left, relatively speaking, enjoy them while you can. In summary, not all of us are sensitive to his schtick, as if it’s unusual for a salesman to put down a competitor’s product over his own.

Regarding MC, if I never read his name or initials again it will be too soon. Enough said.

What a lot people here now do not realize, is that twenty years ago a significant purpose of Audiogon was to build a community that felt comfortable buying and selling to each other, and to call out persons or establishments that were not reputable, by name. In fact, there was a complaint process right here where a buying or selling member would write his/her complaint online and the opposing party would answer the complaint, and then all Audiogon members could give their opinions online, until a settlement was met. And this was all approved and monitored by the Audiogon mods.

I get you have a personal connection with MC.  Somewhere along the line several persons stated he was narcissistic.  I would have to say that that would be an upgrade compared to how I look at his problems.  I wouldn't have given a sh*t except you couldn't sign onto A'gon without seeing his thousands of posts.

I am one of the persons that he said complained about him to the Washington State Radiologist Board or whatever he was talking about.  He is the only person who ever insulted Almarg.  He would have kept doing it if so many people hadn't called him out on it, just his low life way.  I am not a rat, never once have complained about him or anyone else in 20 years.

You have lived a colorful life, and a lot of us have also.  You like your country boy persona, but the truth is I do live in the country.  Hunting, and drinking with the boys during the season, he wouldn't be invited to our camp.   

@oldhvymec I just want to make sure I did not give the wrong impression.  I respect the heck out of your audio knowledge, which I certainly do not have, and love your posts.

10-4 buddy.

@sokogear

I am not going to engage with his haters, a relatively small group that are very vocal.

That is one of the silliest posts I have seen on Audiogon in 20+ years.
