About users with hidden agendas


If you know that a user is a dealer and they fail to disclose and attacks other users because they make a point against their interest, do you expose the user?

I know of a gentleman here that continuously posts and goes after people and does not disclose who he is. 

What are the ethics of this forum?

@holmz Personally, I am always on the lookout for something new and better. Also to learn something new and useful and share it with others. Technology is always advancing...never stagnant. Its like a treasure hunt but I have had numerous hits along the way to make the journey worthwhile. I like to get it right (for me) then leave it be until there is a good reason to do something new or different. "Good sound" is a somewhat subjective thing but the fundamental parameters that define it and what it takes to attain it effectively is not.

@ghasley @jjss49 as is the norm for you both, much wisdom from you. Might that others take a step back and consider our contributions…including myself…

Grace, peace and good music today!

@jerryg123 perhaps but I’ve been doing this for 30 years. In fact, since the days of rec audio high end. Nothing has changed, all the same arguments and ideological lines then as now. People look for deeper meaning, but it always boils down to exactly what I just said. It’s been exactly this way for three consecutive decades. After a while, you just cut to the chase. You can’t fix a problem with flowery prose that have nothing to do with the actual mechanics of the problem.

I appreciate your perspective, but do not entirely agree… The march of technology forwards also seems to have a lot of steps where things get made cheaper.
Like the first transistor was super expensive, but eventually we had a bunch of small portable radios which were portable rather than a Philco.

DACS seem to have gone through this “A really good design —> now make it more cheaply - and loose some magic” cycle a few times.

Amps are “A really good design —> now make it more efficient and more cheaply - and loose some magic” cycles.

I am usually on the hunt for better, and often older is more often fine with me.
