Put that in your pipe(s) and smoke it


I'll say it again: let's seek out the gem's and leave the rest, folks. Ignore the trolls, or be selective of the actual content they bring up - should you choose to reply; it may even hold an unexpected, worthwhile observation or two on a subject that could put into perspective our endeavors here.

More importantly, if we want this forum to allow for free speech and a degree of resilience, some around here should reconsider their liberal urge to hit the 'report' button, because that's the thing that truly annoys me and what I'd call the real trolls around here: the one's feeling offended on grounds I imagine to be so relative to their own agenda, indeed petty in nature, that their reporting a post or thread is likely to see no further inquiry by the admins and is therefore, simply by virtue of being a report alone, put into effect as an actual deletion.

We should be able to hold a conversation without someone feeling taken aback over what is, in the bigger scheme of things, insignificant issues. If not it's an ongoing, sad tendency to shut the mouths of those we don't agree with, or for some other flimsy reason don't like.

Hmmm! Think I’ll take the high road. I think..

There is no left and or right... only the top 1/10 of one (1) percent and all the rest. That’s you and me.. 99.9 %. It’s the top and bottom, not the left and right. Neither the left or the right can count... So what is the difference.. Still spending what neither side... "doesn’t have".. That’s all it boils down to... So funny.. Pay the bills of the people...Haven’t done that for 60 + years, now.. Put the whole bunch in JAIL. If I paid my bills the way most countries pay their bills.. I'd stay in a penitentiary. Evey one else calls it "deficit spending".
I call it stealing..  Plane and simple..

For the most part it's all fine and dandy. BUT I've seen excessive deletions on certain occasions. It WAS NOT a software glitch, it was a moderator reaching WAY to far, plane and simple.. I don't praise folks for doing a good job. That's why they are paid.
When it's BAD or EXCEPTIONAL, they both get my attention..I prefer the latter, yes, I do...

I've seen ZERO intervention too, when there should have been. ZERO..
Time after time the OP ask the SAME people to move on, pages of harassment, not a single word...OP ASK, and ASK, and ASK.. NOTHING... It was pretty easy to spot, NOT A THING...I felt bad for the guy.. Really...horrible!!!!! :-) let me shed a tear...No I THINK I have to have good CRY....OK all Better...

I try to speak with my pocket book, if I have to. It usually works better..
Still looking for an SPL-05 with all the whistles and bells.  I think that will shut me up for a while..:-)

Time to feed to the chickens, come on dog...

No one said anything about "post count", mahgister referred to post content. I agree, no need to to be that way.  Like you said they haven't even said anything... Better yet, just skip their contributions and you look past them.. I think that is the point of the whole thread...

To be or not to be "a report person" or NOT... Not who you don't care to read after... Am I missing something.. I've NEVER seen kenjit, speak foul of another member. MC just calls it the way he see's it.. Just a Blunt ass person... My Granny would say, "haughty is only if it's not true, then it's a lie, if it is he's proud of his hard work".  and should be.... He shares his little discoveries.., that's good...

kenjit LOL, he just want's to see measurements, and oval speaker cabinets... Kmini and KMAXYs are on the way... :-)

Dear @oldhvymec, above is the first line of his post aimed at me. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And rightly so.. But I didn’t think their contributions, were or are "nonsense", your’s are... That is my point... At least they contribute.

YOU Sir, complain about their contribution.
One is opinionated, yours is just a blanket character attack, just an open ended, bla bla bla..... And no I prefer to roll my own, thank you very much... No pipe sticking here or sticking it my pipe either...

Regards
Yup pages of taunting, not a single deletion. 

BUT Never call a name, just answer questions, and make statements.. Then delete the whole thread!

Yea that played right into hands of people that had nothing to say but BAD things... See it all time. Same folks turn a blind eye, show their lack of paying attention to ALL. Pretty common. 20/80 strikes again. 20% of the people do 80% of the work.. 

Speak with your pocket book, I'm getting ready to sell close to 40,000.00 worth of gear, and BUY 55 -75,000.00.  I'll say this, me my friends and the people I know have bought in excess of 1.5 million over the last 10 years.  Sold close to the same....You or I don't have to sell here. That's up to the AG.. I think they are good though.  Just need a moderator for the moderators... LOL

I don't pat folks on the back of doing their job.   They get a pat on the back for going above and beyond. That can work both ways..
Out of the pan and into the fire.. Seems to be the easy way out, in lue of telling people to quit the name calling.... Just easier to delete the thread.
LAZY..... That's the other 80% of folks.  I just worked 1.5 X the national average of hours in a 45 year period.. Do the math.. Yes everything is wore out. I do have ONE little toe that is in good shape. :-)

Regards

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Only if you're speaking for yourself... Who else can you speak for...
Certainly not me...

The only true statement, if you think about it..  I don't report, I protest in a civil manner and on an open forum.

I had a report button war with one guy.. I finally let him/her/it/them/whoever, WIN.... Never used it again... Was funny though..

Not sure if Regards is appropriate...  Did you just take a jab at me?
Or was that the single malt typing.  Usually I can tell the difference. :-)

Never a need to delete, Not knowing worst thing in the world...
Can't fix it, if you don't know. This old mechanics moto..
