Those who seek to deny access to information


Like many/most here, one of the main reasons I frequent audiogon is to gather information. I am looking for ways to enhance the enjoyment I get from listening to music on my system. The information most valuable to me comes from those who share their actual experience with products that I am interested in, but have not heard in my system.

The audio community is a diverse one, with many opinions, ideas and perspectives. Many of them differ from mine, and that is fine. Those who disagree with me are free to make posts and start threads about whatever they choose. This doesn’t bother me, I am free to choose what I read, and what I don’t.

What does rile me up up is deliberate attempts to deny me (and others) access to the information that I value. There are some here who repeatedly seek to disrupt, sidetrack, derail, and shut down conversations about topics and products that trigger them. They do not contribute any useful information or experience to the discussion, and make disparaging comments about things they have zero experience with. They are bullies who mock, ridicule and provoke those who use, make and sell certain products. They seek to stifle any discussions about, and especially positive opinions of, the products and people they clearly have a vendetta against.

They can start their own threads, and talk about what a fool I am all day long, I don’t care. Their deliberate and repeated attempts to deny myself and others access to the information we value, however, are intolerable.

@mikelavigne :

how many serious hobbyists will put up with that? not many.....and we see them gone.

That's exactly the goal of the disruptors (read: crazies)

 

Some people are cruel....   They collect the pains of hurting others like another may find pleasure in collecting butterflies.  They come here to disrupt when they can.  Its not complex.  We have sadists that live in the world.  They torment when they can. Some believe its why God created Hell.  To give them back what they gave others....   You must seek good information like a bear seeks honey, ignoring the bee stings by having a thick hide.  You must accept that sadists exist and you can not change them.,...   They enjoy what they do.
