Axe to grind know it alls


Recently I have noticed that there are people who apparently enjoy having controversial posts. One in particular stands out. I have no problem with people expressing different opinions but are they doing this just to get attention? They don’t care what the responders to their posts have to say as only their opinion is the correct one and everyone else is wrong unless they agree with the op which is rare.

I have always looked at the Audiogon forums as a resource to get information and exchange ideas . When the post is a one way street, I think it does little if anything to contribute to the forums so going forward I will just ignore their posts.  Anyone else irritated by these posers?

The light @ the end of the tunnel is out of service due to lack of maintenance.
Personally, I’d be disappointed if I’m not on The List...."All this ’wasted’ energy, for naught....." *heavy mock sigh* ;)

I actually do come about these expanses to view the discourse...it’s ’educational’ on many levels. Some by intent, some by chance, and some by the sheer *grins* of watching the trains of thought go completely off the rails and into the chasm,...

Reading geoffkait’s ’quoting’ Groucho Marks (some of which I suspect he makes up, but...*shrug*...generally and generously funny)...

The Cable Wars that erupt, almost by clockwork...
The ’my (X) is better than yours *Bronx cheer*’ scuffles...
...and all that....and more....

Would you Really prefer a forum that’s as dry as burnt toast?
There’s certainly existing forums here that fit that...
...but to expect that....Here....under that title *points ’up page’*....?

An ’axe’....how ’quaint’....*heavy irony drips from the edge...*
*S* Thanks for the offer, Eric....but save it for a more deserving party.
At least this forum is living up to it's title....

OK, I'll be the sacrificial goat for this 'next' page....

"Hurryhurryhurry, step right up...offers like this don't fall from trees!"

Who amongst 'you' would prefer to stake me over a fire ants' nest as opposed to reading my drivel?

(I'm going to operate under the statement that it's 'good to keep your friends close, but your enemies Closer...")

No axes, Please.  I 'leak' easily enough in Real Life...(blood thinners...)...
@falconquest ....Unfortunately, you're correct.  Occasionally a forum opens with a ludicrous statement that draws the worst of our commentary.  I'm just as guilty as some....

We 'ought' to be more focused on helping each other get the best out of our Existing systems, or the posted query regarding whatever pesters the OP.

Too often, though, 'preference' overrules simplicity; "Well, you ought to be using/buying/applying 'X', and while you're at it...."

The old Roman Games comes to mind....

...but, I'm just weird....
