OK - you win. What an amazing setup.

It was a joke bro. Sheesh. Next time I’ll put a 😀 so we don’t get confused.

Having met Mark and fallen victim to his cunning sales strategy in the days of Cello MFS (which I did end up buying Into), I can’t help but think this is more than a little hypocrisy and bitterness. Mark invented these strategies!! Yes, the high end audio industry is rife with massively...

You’re constantly attacking people. Getting personal. You’ve put your point across, you don’t like the guy. We get it.

I agree. As we’ve seen from the above, people hate being questioned or called out. This shows that the community’s ability to stem these responses without conflict is limited, and that the impact on the OP is real. I can’t wrap my mind around how to deal with this. My instincts fail me here.

To be fair, I’m not finding fault with everyone’s replies, just the ones that don’t align with my world view.

In response to KenMasters. I hear that, but as stated one of the reasons people don’t post is that responses tend to be biased and irrelevant. Trying to shine a light on that.

Ummmm - no. What I said was that people don't respond after asking for assistance. Actually - this thread speaks volumes. We sound like a bunch of drunk grumpy old men. Random spewings on everything that makes us unhappy. At least I started a thread and didn't PM anybody.

Chris, you too - why the random response? How do you link corporates not valuing your HiFi exhibition with people PM'ing rather than posting. Interested in your thoughts. PS, since there seems to be a large amount of insecurity on the group, I'm calm, and like you lots.

I'm perfectly calm. Can you answer my question - it will help us understand.

Enjoy them. I’ve always had a soft spot for Revel.

This is exactly the sort of random response that is problematic. We were talking about PMs and culture change in community forums, you brought up a random gripe that you hold. Why?

I hear this, but let’s rather build a culture where we challenge the problem, rather than working around it.

Not sure we are talking about the same thing here bud. There’s never been any argument that negotiation on a for sale item should be handled offline.

Here is a typical PM I receive weekly: "Hi Sean, I notice that you posted on Open Baffle speakers/Built Firstwatt Amps/Are selling a XYZ DAC. What are your impressions/views/advice. I have a boomy room/Valve Audio Predator/desire to get involved in DIY. Would love to chat." I will usually...

Because some things are worth fighting for. But your point is well made.

That’s quite a grouping of caps. What a brilliant project.

Isn’t free speech wonderful. Maybe not for the weak minded amongst us, but wonderful nevertheless.

Agree with Chris. If you don’t like the advert, don’t buy it. I don’t have any issue with someone commenting on the price in my ads, if it’s overpriced I need that input. This forum has improved exponentially since our ex Ku Klux Klan mods have buggered off.

This is one of the poorest informed comments I’ve ever read in this place. By all means, be healthy but please acknowledge the massive positive impact that medical science has had on our life expectancies and qualities of life. Oh, and why we are at it, look at the cost of care in SA vs the...
