It’s pathetic that so many alleged audiophiles use a hobbyist site like Audiogon as a bully pulpit to express political or conspiracy opinions. Thank you for spoiling so much of what an enjoyable hobby forum used to be.
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’.
@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.
Unfortunately, this occurs in other hobby forums too. Someone always manages to interject their political views which ticks off several people---and there it goes! It usually gets really nasty before the posts are removed. Go to the political forums if that's your thing.
Self installing oneself to an invented pulpit on an anonymous internet forum recalls Caesar's walk to the Senate. Or maybe a hunting trip with Dick Cheney. Or even being hired by 45.
...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.
It’s nursed our sorry selves from another soup called the oceans.
If we think the planet can’t strike back in it’s own (maybe Not so leisurely) fashion..
I can’t wait for the chase scenes in this RT movie....;)
Controls is an end-all word. HAARP electromagnetic waves stimulate geophysical changes that can modify the weather as in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes and such. It HAS been shown. Also I hate to burst that bubble you live in, but more and more are waking up to the complete hoax that is NASA. Wise-up wise guy. 😄
Hey folks, we have some James Bond level stuff going on, or is it Austin Powers level stuff? This is so confusing.
not sure about the past, but it sure has flipped - whatever you want to call them, democrats, liberals, socialists, communists, cancel culture, technology elitists, etc. are the ones stomping out / censoring free speech, thought, and an exchange of ideas.
I thought that democrats were the ones that protected free thought and were against "the man." Now they (the democrats) are "the man" and try to shutdown any thought that does not align with theirs.
So typical to do the things you accuse others of and simply swap out who's doing it as a matter of deflection. Did you learn that from watching Tucky on Animal Channel? You know, the guy who went to break bread with Viktor Oban, the last self professed dictator in Europe? Tucky wants to bring that back here to America.
You can work for their propaganda channel if they ever overturn our government. And keep up with the infantile chants: they suit you to a tee.

I would like to have "sock puppet" capability, but I don't know how to go about it.
I would also prefer to maintain my moniker "DeKay/Dekay" as it's easy to remember and I would also like to maintain my password (again - easy to remember).
Any tips will be much appreciated (even if it means forking out for springs).

Maybe it is because you talk like Tonto, although he makes more sense than you do. (no disrespect at all to the Native American community)
Some gladly swallow scripted information fed to them. Seek the truth and you'll deserve what you get. What's so funny about peace love and understanding? What's wrong with ethics morals and common sense?
Problem I have is it only becomes objectionable to many when a view is posted with which they disagree. It isnt that it is said as much as what is said. People who actually think for themselves are only those that follow a particular narrative. A total waste of time, but sometimes you just have to respond if for no other reason than to remind the extremists that not everyone shares the same sentiment.

Tubebuffer must be a Liberty University graduate, communications and biblical sex education degrees. Dual major. Very impressive. Guessing he carried MC’s books.
