Why does Audiogon always close a discussion when georgehifi objects to it?


It seems that when like minded individuals want to partake in same discussions, posers like georgehifi can shut it down just by saying they disagree over and over and over and over and over, saying the same thing. Not bringing anything new to the discussions.....

On these threads there are members who have spent a lot of money on Audiogon, are cordial to one another and yet, it means nothing, nothing to the Audiogon monitors. In todays times when people are so divided it’s a shame Audiogon cannot and will not do anything to stop this.
tyray
@noske Ignore the threads that deal with subjects that you disagree with..... Print that and post it on your refrigerator. 
People that are not interested in what is being said, or disagree  with the sentiment being expressed, go out of their  way to force themselves into the conversation.....and then scream for the moderators to intervene. 

It happens again and again and again......and it is always the same side that calls for the banning/shutting down of threads.



@yuviarora People that cannot defend their ideas resort to silencing their opposition.


The rules of Audiogon are quite clear as was pointed out to me just yesterday in no uncertain terms by @cleeds.  Diarize this quote for future reference - 

This is a hobbyist's group, not a scientific forum. No one here owes anyone scientific proof of anything. If that's an "issue" for you, you may be in the wrong place.

Censorship is the cudgel of the  weak minded. 
People that cannot defend their ideas resort to silencing their opposition. 

This is not just an Audiogon problem, it is a cancer that is metastasizing every where.

“what a rather unpleasant thread ”

Quite , started with the sole motivation of whipping up discordant comment.
Lightspeed Attenuator.. hmm, that reminds me of the quote I saw many years ago..

“Light travels faster than sound. That’s why certain people appear bright until you hear them speak.”

Coincidence? Don’t know.
Maybe we should get back to talking about stones. Lol. :-)

Well, at least I got one person to understand my thread...
“Wha, Wha.”
If you find being called “Sunshine” offensive perhaps you need to be weaned from your Moma’s apron strings.
oldhvymec, you’re d**n right. My Mother is off limits.

Now while I got you here. You showed us a link with thousands of locking wheels. Do you recommend any for audio stands for easy (rolling) access to the back of the gear? Are there any you can recommend for damping/decoupling and the type of materials the wheels are made of?  Thanks
Hey what’s with the irreverence about Mums.

Mums is off limit fellas.. Just stop that NOW..

No Mums, Mine was and is a Saint.. She was perfect. NO MUMS...

Me Mums is in Heaven along with me dogs and Grand... NO MUMS!!!

The answer is George is Powerful.. LOL He has super powers.. 

He's a terrier and dingo mixed, wild man..

I'm beginning to think one of the mods is sweet on George I think it's his accent over the keyboards that turns the other guy on.. Hey I don't judge, if they got a thing.. Good for them..

Regards

Tyray you are so arrogant and ignorant you thought that was for you? It was for your mother as she failed…..
 And you brought her into the discussion.

lord you are weak.

What's the matter? Can't take the heat?
Like I said, nothing else better to do. Sad life indeed...
You should be ashamed of your self. I was going to let it go, But, how many times can you drag your dead mother into this in order to further your attempt at hurling a guilt trip. You missed your target, I don’t feel the least bit guilty. The metaphor flew over your head. Oops, might have happened again. I’ll hazard a guess that most on this forum have deceased mothers; I do. Then again, it seems as though it might be fair to assume that you might be so sensitive that being called “Sunshine” might hurt your feelings.

jjss49,

Is that a custom and/or home made audio stand you have in your photos?
I seem to remember reading about something very similar to that here on Agon? And if it is, would you kindly share that thread with me/us here?

Thanks

“I can't. The threads have been taken down....”

Lol.
 Thanks wturkey. Good time for some humor here...☺
Sorry about your Mother. 😢
jerryg123, there is no need for you or anyone else to feel sorry or make comments on or about my Mother. Here, or anywhere else.

And these are the things that the monitors here seem to condone. Thanks for helping me make my point.
what an umpleasant thread

it is unclear why threads are deleted... when mods delete them, there is no record or identification of the reason or the user whose request was acted upon
I guess I should understand. Some folks don’t have anything better to do. Especially at (some of ) our ages. It gets old.
what a rather unpleasant thread

it is never clear why any discussion thread is deleted... when mods delete them, there is no record or identification of the reason or the user whose request was acted upon

we can only assume the mods felt it is in the best interest of the forum overall, given its objectives and standards, that the deletion occur
So how do you know if any of these people have spent a dime on Agon?

Like you do? How do you know I don’t?

So why does georgehifi get to ’cancel’ any thread he wishes? I’ve NEVER asked or tried by other means, to get anyone’s thread canceled. And one more thing, I am NOT millercarbon, by any stretch of your imagination.

I have no problem taking the heat. But somebody’s gotta say something. It’s just wrong.
@tyray. I find your post very interesting. Sorry about your Mother.

So how do you know if any of these people have spent a dime on Agon?

@millercarbon did not even list his old turntable here when he put it up for sale. He posted it at USAM for free…

Now I will agree that some threads can be very one sided and many of us can be passionate about our position and be a bit repetitive.

So you like Mr Millercarbon are supportive of the Cancel Culture by cancelling @georgehifi yet you want a safe space for your opinions and your opinion only.

Can you be specific? IOW. Can you provide specific examples. Or something more than, "It seems like..."
Inquiring minds want to know.
I can't. The threads have been taken down....

My Mom’s has since passed some years ago. And if that’s all you got? It explains everything...

Not only that, he is free to call us names, but we cannot criticize him not even without mentioning his name. Blatantly biased double-standard.
