Maybe I am jumping to a Conclusion, but the Gon Forum at present is seemingly overcontrolling and becoming an unattractive place to attend as a Forum Contributor.
This is the reason I left Audiogon for a year. The last straw for me was to get 6-8 posts deleted in 4 months when I had no posts deleted in the 20 yrs previous. Too much drama on Agon and its just not much fun. OTOH most of the so called "audiophile" boards are also contentious as well. Post anything about cables, or anything that helps conduct a signal better is sure to turn into a bunch of mud slinging. Even on A'gon I'm not sure that any thread which spoke positive about Perfect Path Technologies ever survived. Like you said, unattractive
