Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?


Why should we be subjected to audiophile deniers, on a site dedicated to audio?
It’s antithetical to the hobby and adds nothing to the pursuit. I want to quote something from another thread.

@djones51 wrote "exposing bull products like "audiophile switches, cables, fuses " and other highly questionable devices that serve no purpose"

What then, is the purpose of people with this agenda being on this site? To “expose bull products.” It’s fine for someone to post they tried a product and it didn’t work for them, but to dismiss entire product categories is not a discussion that belongs on an enthusiast forum.

Would a car enthusiast site stand for this type of post?

Try going on a Porsche forum, just for example, and posting that your Mustang is just as fast 0-60 and that others poster’s claims about their driving experience is “dubious.” See how long that will be tolerated

There are plenty of sites to poke fun at audiophile’s obsession with cables, power conditioners etc. Why does it belong here, especially when we can’t mute specific posters?

What’s next? Arguing that speakers that measure the same must sound the same and that we are all suckers for buying expensive speakers? I thought we got rid of trolling?

Isn’t it obvious with all the ASR related posts here lately we are being trolled?

A couple of months back I read a post here about someone that ordered a new cat8 cable from China. I tried it and posted back my fantastic results for others to benefit.

Personally that’s the kind of forum I’m interested in, not to come here to be challenged about what I hear and that since it can’t be measured so it must be “dubious.”

Do you feel that the libel, slander and defamation law of torts violates freedom of speech?

@hilde45 

But if I turn of Faux "news" wouldn't that be a form of "censorship"?  And besides, then I would miss Squeaky (aka Tucker) Carlson! 

@jerryg123 

@immatthewj or here when one picks on Mayor Pete, Dapper Diaper Joe Biden or MS Flat Knees the VP Harris.

Oh, not at all. Your post has been up over an hour.  On AA, while the mods were basically conducting a thread about the cognizant decline of a politician who happened to be a dem, I pointed out that Dementia Donnie was under the impression that our military closed down all the airports during The War of 1812 and was advocating for IV infusions of disinfectants (to cure COVID).  Within 5 minutes my post was removed and the main mod sent me a nasty-gram.  

“The disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, and is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning. As you see it gets in the lungs!”

Do you mean to say, @jerryg123  , that President Biden is living in your head?

Ha ha!  You need to get over that & move on!

It seems most people don't understand Free Speech in the constitutional sense. It doesn't apply on this forum, this is a private group, you have to become a member in order to participate.

LOL!  Apparently free speech exists on this site via private messages as I got some hate mail last night via Audiogon mail. 

But it is not a free and open forum here.

Just ask all the outcasts.

This is why the MSM and the Far Left are freaking about Musk buying Twitter. They will lose their blowtorch for their agendas.

As it is now like here they can squash all opposing views.

@jerryg123 

Sounds like Audio Asylum. Political flame throwing is okay as long as you don’t hurt anyone’s feelings by saying something mean about Fat Donnie.

@jerryg123 

@immatthewj LOL not a Trumpster either. But I will say there was no genocide on his watch.

LOL back atcha . . . Russian spies in the WH, the sound of Donnie's slurping in Helsinki. . . .

@nonoise  +10K!

 

@mahgister 

 You're so predictable, pedantic and clueless, waiting to pounce on matters you're not very well versed on. But, by all means, keep on embarrassing yourself.

@mahgister 

it seems you have not read my answer... 

immatthewj

The matter seems to exceed your analysis ability...

Your long winded BS posts are boring. 

 

Yes, @jerryg123

but Dementia Donnie makes President Biden seem like George Washington.

"Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory . . ."

"In reality they're not after me, they're after you. I'm just in the way."

LOL!  Yup, Fat Donnie was the only thing protecting you from "them."

Haha.  For sure.

Coming from one of Dementia Donnie's minions, that truly hurts me!  Ha ha ha!

@immatthewj kind of hard not to have that stupid old fool in your head

Aw, @jerryg123 don’t be so hard on Dementia Donnie! Ha ha!

Was it hate mail or simply someone presenting a contrary opinion? Please share if you dont mind.

@audition__audio   no, I don't mind.

I tried to share the title of the email last night, but evidently it was a word that the mods deemed to be obscene, although the word doesn't particularly bother me.  The content of the email called me that word, and I would be happy to print it, but it appears that the mods don't like the word.
