...what gets me is that there’s the group that would like to play the shell game with real shells and everyone gets to lose....😒 I t occurred to me yesterday that if we can just hold our fire for a bit longer, the planet will deal with both sides....as well as the independent and uninterested. Remember: You, me, and all y’all live in an organic soup called an atmosphere. I can’t wait for the chase scenes in this RT movie....;) It might help to be a ’bot....... |

@hhscott , you might want to look for another HiFi discussion forum that better suits your needs/tastes. I've found the Roon community forum to be more consistently civil and on-topic than some others. The focus is on Roon, but it still covers a wide variety of HiFi-related topics. |
certain topics initially open the door, others drift into .... along the way. once it drifts, I typically follow along for a few reasons (ignoring or discovering idiots if they pop-up) 1. it might get back on original topic, further wisdom to gain 2. exposure to different opinions. the status quo surrounds you but you cannot imagine the ’other’ unless it finds you, or you seek it. ’East Village Other’ an example from the 60’s. 3. Fuller understanding of other members whom I have come to respect. 4. a chance to pass on who I am to others, if they care, then my comments in threads can be understood ’better’. |
I wouldn't have to shout IF I could use larger letters. I wanted it to get attention. It worked. Just like deleting posts which disagree works. And if you think a bully just shouts, I suspect you have never encountered one. many of them never shout. No Bullys generally run with a pack that backs up the bully. Kinda like those who report posts which they disagree |
I'm just using humor to embarrass the tools. Shame used to have some currency but now it's getting useless as they embrace it wholeheartedly. I've tried, in the past, to meet their arguments head on and it went no where and accomplished nothing other than ticking them off even more with them citing my posts as politically charged and/or inflammatory when it was nothing more than a response to theirs. Case in point was a thread that was closed a few days ago. In it were lots of politically charged posts that I refused to engage in save for my use of humorous GIFs to shut them up with. This went on and on and on and not a single person complained of the politics. Then it got to where a certain someone started posting vulgar and tasteless GIFs and claimed to one up me. Mine was to say it wasn't a competition (agains with a GIF) and also not for the same reasons. His next was a GIF of Rump dancing spastically with "winning" across the screen so finally, I stooped to his level and posted one of Rump in a not so flattering way. That's when they pounced. That 1st GIF supporting Rump was up for over half an hour with no one complaining but after my rebuttal, it tool just over 2 minutes and it was break out the smelling salts and get ready the fainting couch along with a hefty dose of I'm getting case of the vapors! There was indignation at the new system allowing such behavior and lamentations of my posts. Do you see the hypocrisy at play? The one sided nature of it all from those who think this is their safe place and no one else can express themselves? That they're perfectly fine with topics of hate and slander as long as it's from their POV? That's why I've resorted to the use of GIFs. Pictures can speak a thousand words and these are cretins that need some humor thrown back in their faces like a bucket of cold water on a misbehaving critter. I'm thick skinned enough to take it and so should any adult who professes to be one. All the best,

It's Jerry again have no idea what or whom you are referring to. And you think my post was directed at you? If I were I would have directed it at you @nonoise I think the OP is on point though. Try and keep it civil. I am trying. Have a great day.

And when you pay them no mind, they congregate, solidify their positions and wreck havoc on society.
Yes, even in an audio forum. All the best,

Don’t blame the rank-and-file. Blame the politicians who created the problems. You have to remember the job of a politician. First create an issue that will affect the most amount of people that it can. Then convince the people that you the politician is the only one who can fix the created problem. Then convinced the People you need more money and resources to fix the created problem. Then never fix the problem so we need more politicians and more money to fix the newly created problems that were never fixed to begin with.This is the basic structure of money laundering taxpayers money. They created the midterm elections so we are on a never ending election cycle. This has allowed them to inject themselves into every aspect of our daily lives. Blow up the dc cartel and global elites and we might be able to get back our world for we the people. |

Not sure the bullies as critical to this what ever it is as the pulpit part of OP.
Bullies are a dime a dozen. Bullies speaking from the pulpit is the menacing part. Recall historic churches with the high pulpits, preacher closer to God, high above the congregants. I now observe pulpits reaching for the heavens, sermons on the mount, stone tablets engraved with a thousand commandments.
How can so many people know the truth? As for myself, l'll believe the first guy who can part the seas and spin the earth backwards, must do both at same time. |
Hello, I understand what the OP is saying, but it’s very hypocritical the way this thread started off. The way this thread starts off is exactly what you are accusing people of in this forum. I am not a fan of how people are becoming divided due to what is happening in the world. I can guarantee most people do not know what is happening in other peoples lives. We are on the brink of something far more serious than what someone said to another or how someone misunderstood another. There are a lot of bad things happening in the world to really good people. In the end. It’s better to come from a point of weakness than a point of strength. Nobody ever thinks Superman needs help. When it comes to helping someone out in need, there are millions of people ready to be a hero. All you need to do is ask. That means try not tell people what to do. They typically stop listening. |
