Why is the snake oil topic closed?


Because debunking certain aftermarket accessories might affect Audiogon’s revenue? I don’t get it. There were points to be made. It was just getting "good."

The snake oil thread isn’t closed, it’s here.
There was a troll thread that was closed earlier today. I think this was it here.

... this thread is at least as stupid as Foggythink's ... These fools aren't on the cutting edge... They're neurotic ... I commend those who derail their stupid snake oil threads.
Why so angry? Why so bitter?

Do You Suffer From the Dunning-Kruger Effect?
This is a fair question. Indeed, I think many of the self-proclaimed objectivists here suffer from this effect.
But the real problem here seems to be the seething intolerance and animosity that some posters express, as reflected in the many deleted posts in this thread.

... as a serious audio fan that honors science and engineering, it can be kind of embarrassing to be associated with some of the more ridiculous tweaks that some support here ...
You post here anonymously, and yet are embarrassed by the anonymous posts of others? That really doesn't make any sense, especially from someone who says they honor "science."

Humanity has too many individuals. What we need is more robots.
Huh? Having more robots doesn't reduce the number of individuals. Are you suggesting we just exterminate those whose ideas we don't like?

This thread is really getting ugly.
