Dealers hijacking the discussions

I’m a very long term member and look at the forums most every day. I’m personally extremely irritated by dealers injecting sales pitches into the discussions which has never really been a problem before. Dealers are biased as it’s the nature of business and this is fine but I don’t go to audiogon to see shameless promotion. There’s one guy in particular that needs to go away. The fact that you’ll all know who it is says volumes about the amount of posting this guy/dealer does on audiogon. Does anyone feel as I do. Just curious.

I second the distaste one can have about the ridiculous misuse of these forums to promote stuff…there are blatant examples of this with exaggerated and preposterous multi paragraphed promotional screeds ...
These are moderated forums. If you don't like the way they are managed, why not take your complaint to the moderators?

I am on the record disliking dealers.
That's just prejudice. As with all prejudice, it's rooted in ignorance.

The forum's terms of use allow dealer participation. If there's a dealer here who bothers you, the best approach is probably to just ignore him.
