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.

1-Frankly, the issue with Audiotroy's posts are not his initial posts; it's the pissing contests that result when gpgr4blu decides to weigh in. If gpgr4blu would take a flyer, I guarantee Audiotroy wouldn't post ad infinitum defending his position. If Audiotroy were an exotic car dealer and could help potential consumers know the differences between say Porshes, Ferraris and Bugattis, he would be accepted as an asset to that group. In my view, he fills the same role here.
2-Unfortunately, due to the antagonistic nature of the dialogue, I need to be in the frame of mind to wade through the smoke to see the kernels of knowledge there. If these threads were moderated, a good moderator might defuse these multiple post wastes of space and only allow what is germane to the thread. 
3-The only thing I've learned from gpgr4blu is that he dislikes Audiotroy and some of the staff at Sound By Singer.  I'd wager he knows quite a bit about audio and I would welcome his spreading that information here vs his ad hominem attacks. 
Thank you Ethiessen you are correct sir! 

Oh and for hijacking a thread Grgr4blu is doing that very thing on another post on Paradigms by chiming in to attack me and not adding anything,

It works both ways.
Anyone interested in a beater Kia with 215,000 miles, and with 3 of the 4 speakers actually working.  Tires included at no extra charge.

It works both ways.

That’s exactly right. You can stop at any time just as easily. Go look at the number of posts in the thread, and then count the number of them that are yours. In my entire life, I’ve yet to see an argument with only one participant. I said it in my first post, but I’ll say it again, you’re not doing yourself any favors here, audiotroy, no matter what you may think.
