whatsbestforum - what's going on


I thought I could reduce my presence here and participate elsewhere so I registered on this site called whatsbestforum. First it looked harmless. I did not read the about section. 

I made one comment, a speaker recommendation - did not name or mention anyone - just posted a link to a speaker site and I was immediately banned. The site went into an endless loop, with the you are banned message. I can't log off or view anything, the only way I can view it is if I start another private browser. On top of that, a few hours later, the message changed to "Your IP address has been banned."  Like I am some kind of criminal to be kept away with a restraining order and pepper spray.

I wonder if it's an exclusive site or a cult, and if anyone from here is a successful member over there. The about us section is truly disturbing. I am not taking it personally, but it does bother me of course.

Non resolving, in that context, was a perfectly acceptable use of the term. People owning a system which is not particularly high resolution, or non resolving, can be forgiven for not understanding or even believing how one component or cable can be distinct in its improvement or worsening of the sound. 
 

“I can’t hear a difference” or “I can’t hear it in my system” is understandable.

“I can’t hear it so therefore no one else can” is not. 

I was in a high end dealer in Denver listening to early Wilson Watt/Puppies on Levinson gear with a Wadia CD front end. Quite high resolving for its time. Sounded pretty good and drew a small crowd.  The salesman said he didn’t think the speaker cable was doing the system justice so he substituted what was actually a less expensive cable. Damn. The sound just expanded, much wider and deeper soundstage, greater low level detail, it was just flat better in general. I heard a gasp from a gentleman behind me and noticed his eyes as big as saucers. He said “I never believed in all that crap but man, that is obvious!!
