Bully pulpits

Some things are worth knowing about and not acting on. 
 

Different points of view doesn’t mean any of them are correct. Does the universe revolve around the earth, is the earth flat and if you enjoy the music what really matters. 

I remember taking an elective in college on eastern thought. One of the topics was thought- reactive vs creative. There is nothing wrong with reacting strongly when called for, but to react strongly to something that many likely laugh at, should be examined. The creative part was about the joy of building upon any conversation to see where it goes. We all have the skill to add to the discussion. It was a good class, thank for bringing up the memory. As for your topic, I get a few good laughs from this site, I wouldn't change anything- but the ignore button that facebook has would be nice at times.

Simply IGNORE any poster who doesn't play nice.

It's just an internet forum.

I dunno - I see a little of that, to be sure, but not a whole lot. I guess I'm not looking at the right threads! I think it's all really important, but just on more appropriate websites. 

I show these bully … Blah Blah Blah ….

Ok Chucky 🙄

Very sad lets all CRY!!

unavoidable downside to free speech in our society, still better than the alternative

on this site though, the added element is anonymity and that adds some additional problems

Well, its really only one's reaction to bully posts that creates internal bother. I try to remain ever mindful to separate emotion from reason, certainly some posts are all emotion, nothing worthwhile. Other disagreeable posts may have some semblance of reasoned argument.

The excess emotional attachment to thoughts and ideas is where the problems begin. Compromise is sadly missing in this culture. The mere idea of pulpits is a problem, pontification emanates from pulpits, very religious like.

It’s pathetic that so many alleged audiophiles use a hobbyist site like Audiogon as a bully pulpit to express political or conspiracy opinions.

How right you are. Thank you so much for selflessly taking time out of your busy schedule enjoying your life to scold and school us. Can't speak for others but for myself I have taken your message to heart. Even if I have seen it all before.

Yes it’s very sad when people insist on making fools of themselves in public then double down only to  appear twice as foolish. 

He’s not referring to ‘US’ Chucky 🤣

It's pathetic that the mods here don't recognize a JOKE, no matter HOW obvious it is.

In other advanced countries, politics is openly discussed as much as any other subject and has been since, forever. It's not frowned upon and merits one jumping up on the table and raising their skirts shreeking, "mouse!"

The topic of politics and religion became verboten back when movement conservatism (in it's nascent form) made it a cultural meme so as to keep people ignorant of what and how they were being hoodwinked. 

It took William F. Buckley to finalize it and broadcast it out via the leading medium of it's time, TV, on Firing Line. The rest, they say, is history.

All the best,

i am a Borat robot for Jesus

Problem I have is it only becomes objectionable to many when a view is posted with which they disagree. It isnt that it is said as much as what is said. People who actually think for themselves are only those that follow a particular narrative. A total waste of time, but sometimes you just have to respond if for no other reason than to remind the extremists that not everyone shares the same sentiment.

@tomic601 I borat robot for Jesus +++++ When can I get one, he spek fo meh

Some gladly swallow scripted information fed to them. Seek the truth and you'll deserve what you get. What's so funny about peace love and understanding? What's wrong with ethics morals and common sense? 

"the 800 lb elephant in the room" 

Is it an anorexic elephant?

Maybe it is because you talk like Tonto, although he makes more sense than you do. (no disrespect at all to the Native American community)

Interesting Tonto fact;

Kemosabe translates literally as "horse's patootie".

"Alleged audiophile" 

Really?

Is it an anorexic elephant?

I think I can hear a faint chant... " Let’s Go Brandon"

Ozzy that's just OAN playing in the background of wherever you are.

And Iso seriously common sense? Pretty sure you once said NASA or some govt agency controls the weather.

And Ted Denney starting to understand why certain folks here are your fanboys.

Kind of, sort of, on topic query...

I would like to have "sock puppet" capability, but I don't know how to go about it.

I would also prefer to maintain my moniker "DeKay/Dekay" as it's easy to remember and I would also like to maintain my password (again - easy to remember).

Any tips will be much appreciated (even if it means forking out for springs).

DeKay

You'll need buttons for eyes, but they have to be 'ignore' buttons...

You can let it fluster you.

You can ignore it.

Or you can use it to your advantage.

Next level trolling, to complain about trolls and a controversial topic in the same post.  

Tips hat to OP.  Couln't have done any better except if he found a way to mention Tekton in some way.  Then God Tier. 

@ted_denney 

Jussie Smollet?

Haha, that's too funny! Yeah, he is really an embarrassment.

@ozzy 

yep - "Let's go Brandon!"

@nonoise 

not sure about the past, but it sure has flipped - whatever you want to call them, democrats, liberals, socialists, communists, cancel culture, technology elitists, etc. are the ones stomping out / censoring free speech, thought, and an exchange of ideas.

I thought that democrats were the ones that protected free thought and were against "the man." Now they (the democrats) are "the man" and try to shutdown any thought that does not align with theirs.

LoL! I am still laughing. EBM thanks 🙏

i am not a Faux robot

jond, Controls is an end-all word. HAARP electromagnetic waves stimulate geophysical changes that can modify the weather as in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes and such. It HAS been shown. Also I hate to burst that bubble you live in, but more and more are waking up to the complete hoax that is NASA. Wise-up wise guy. 😄

So typical to do the things you accuse others of and simply swap out who's doing it as a matter of deflection. Did you learn that from watching Tucky on Animal Channel? You know, the guy who went to break bread with Viktor Oban, the last self professed dictator in Europe? Tucky wants to bring that back here to America.

You can work for their propaganda channel if they ever overturn our government. And keep up with the infantile chants: they suit you to a tee.

Hey folks, we have some James Bond level stuff going on, or is it Austin Powers level stuff? This is so confusing.

In a sad way, it is may be more entertaining than "how do you know when a DAC sounds good?".

nothingbutnoise, For you? Get Smart level. 😄
