See you all after the elections

I avoid any threads that directly discuss politics but the ironic thing about this thread is that Erik's infamous Amir/ASR topic was a revelation to me about how politial and tribal identity has taken root in this hobby. 

And he knew it. Members here have asked him what his motivation is for starting so many threads that stir the pot. Funny how some moments can concentrate the mind and this is one of them.

I don't think Eric ever liked my politics (among others as well of the same persuasion) and it was after I posted how I liked my Technics integrated that he remarked on how could I like something that measured so poorly in some respect. He did that on a couple more posts whenever I brought it up.

He then went and started a thread on how could anyone pay what Technics was asking for their SU-R1000 when it measured so poorly. It didn't get many replies. 

Looking back, I can see where that could be construed as some passive/aggressive trolling at work leaving one to wonder what his real motives were. Just some food for thought.

All the best,

What pomposity and feigned laments! Start clutching your pearls, boys. These are  exactly the same responses back when MC thought he ran this place, along with his minions. 

The ones who stood up against him received the same "welcome" and it continued until it became unbearable and what happened? The camel's back broke and it all pointed back to him and his followers and not the ones who stood firm. And what happened to him?

What I'd love to see from you hypocrites is the names of the original offenders proceeded with "@" to alert them to your displeasure for all to see as they are the ones who instigate. But, you'll never do that, will you?

I yearn for you tragically,

I expected a response like that, but I figured I'd try anyway. 

Thanks for proving my point. Noted.

@roxy54 If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: I'm responding to out of line political statements and being called out for being political for doing so. If that's adding fuel to the fire, I gladly owe up to it as to let them go only further ingrains such attitudes.

I have no problem with you and others save for that fact. This is not a one way street. I've yet to see anyone directly call out others for it save for when they "both-sides" the issue, obscuring the guilt of the original offenders, who if I may venture, are along the same lines of their reasoning.

All the best,

This used to be a good place? Never used to be this way? Haven't seen such acrimony as 2024?

You guys crack me up.

All the best,
