Also interesting to note that of the top offenders I've seen... they aren't here defending themselves. It's a nice respite from them, actually. This is probably the only current thread where they aren't spreading hate, condescension and general blather. Tells me that they know who they are.
Why is abusive, negative content allowed?
There’s a certain member here, I think we all know who I am talking about, who continues to be little everyone else here with their rude and condescending remarks. He continually tries to insult and creat strife and division. It is not healthy for productive conversations or for the site.
Why will the moderators allow this poison to ruin the site? They are turning people off from coming here and trying to start positive, useful content.
It’s a cancer that should be removed otherwise it’s going to have detrimental effects on this site. Is that so hard to understand for the moderators?
Tammy is so incredibly helpful but I don’t understand why this negative behavior is allowed to continue and fester...

Sorry to disagree, Tammy. But, I think it's something that should be said, and publicly if only to see that there are many people who feel this way. Personally, I'm no longer reading nearly as often as I did a year ago, and have basically stopped participating. It's because of the know-it-all people who seem to have an agenda, and if you say anything to disagree with their agenda, you are personally attacked. There was a time when you could participate in an informed, educational discussion here. But, now, within the first 5 posts, most threads are derailed by one particular person, and sometimes several people who chime in and start arguing with each other and others in the thread. I've given up, and take my energy and enthusiasm elsewhere. Or, I just turn on the music and forget about AG. Honestly, I think this forum's attitude has gotten out of hand, and I believe it has hurt the participation, and it would not surprise me if it also has hurt overall selling here too. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one here who feels this way. You can see the impact if you follow a few threads... the OP asks, people chime in, the Loudners show up, and OP stops participating, and thread devolves. It's just not welcoming any longer. I hope you can get it back on a friendly path. |
I've tried that, only to have my post dissected line by line and word by word to prove how wrong I was. Childish and ridiculous, and every time it's happened, the "debate" had nothing to do with audio, or the OP question. How does that contribute value to anything? |
What's more disturbing is that it seems like a lot of people share the sentiment, yet all the mods have done is first say the thread is unnecessary, and then just ignore it. So, even though we all agree, nothing is going to be done about it. Here is what the guidelines of the site say. I think the posts in question violate at least: malicious, false, inaccurate, abusive and defamatory. Prohibited content
