Thirty Days in the Hole
Is that where MillerCarbon is? Can we expect to see him on the 9th?
1) i tend to agree, it would be nice if they could contribute here and bring their knowledge and experience, without the attitude, drama, childish trigger-happiness - but these two, even if they have all good intentions (an open question) have shown that are quite unable to do that 2) that said, i suspect one or both may actually still be present, laying low, using pseudonyms... trying on revised personas | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
is that really true @mapman @ozzy62? wow, if so, truly deplorable in my view... this is supposed to be a community of hobbyists first and foremost | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
not arguing the point, but there is an important distinction to be made... the main site lists items for sale and it for business transactions, but the forum does not, it is a place for discussion... they are adjacent and related, but separate... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
i too have been on a-gon since the beginning... there is another thread about forum posters with hidden agendas longstanding participants like almarg, oregonpapa, tvad, even ralph/atmasphere separate out their contributions here in discussion threads from any activities of buying or selling used gear on the listing part of the site (as do i) i’m not naive about life, or about following the money - my angle on this is about the integrity of idea exchange and info sharing in the forum, versus commercial endeavor in the listings section (which for a-gon is the money maker, no doubt)...the distinction between the two parts is the different missions - this distinction is important, worth preserving, worth defending from those who blur the line and try to take advantage... perhaps we are agreeing, just coming at the reality of the matter from different angles | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
very good advice and on-target observations from @whart, valuable to noobs here my first career for twenty some years was in the business of giving professional advice (not on hifi) there is effort, knowhow and experience involved in how to successfully gather and receive good advice - advice seekers who are naive and lazy often get bad advice...

your persona is one of the most unpleasant on this site as i have scanned your posts, few have been to do anything other than to spew negativity, to put others down, to criticize, to make yourself appear above it all, i see no other meaningful contribution, so i ask, what is in it for you to be here? i don’t mistake morality with being judgemental, nor naivete... i simply believe a society, a community is as good as we individuals choose make it, we each carry an obligation, you are obviously oblivious or don’t care... your bullshit is among the worst i have read so i just call bullshit on this bullshitter - here are your recent posts, all of em...

we have been on this forum for a long time... seen folks like m-c, g-k, numerous others, whom, for all their faults, had at least the integrity to not use fake usernames, to show their systems, disclose info their backgrounds, their travels in the pursuit of hifi and music, share some real facts about the real person behind the a-gon handle... ted denney also, we at least know who he is, where he is coming from, so we can assess, take what we know about him, his products, his company, his return policy, take those factors into account ... what we have now, moreso than ever, are examples of much lower-grade organisms, beings - anonymous keyboard warriors, logging in from somewhere, zero user feedback even though ’enrolled’ for many years, never bought or sold a single solitary thing on a-gon’s trading site, no system shown, zero legit info disclosed on who they are, what is their lot in life, what motivates them to come every day with their axe, grind grind grind - yet they claim they are ’in the know’, come here just insult others, claim others are addicts for what they say, act like they are a cut above, superior ... to me this is truly deplorable, gutless if these truly foul cowards could be gone, and m-c and g-k come back in their full glory, we would be better off (can’t believe i am saying this...) |
