Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned

How many times has this scenario played out here? Someone purchases product X, and tries it in their system. They report positive results, that it works as advertised, that they got their money’s worth, that they are happy with the purchase. Then someone, usually having zero experience with the product, replies with something like: “No, you’ve got it all wrong! You’re being ripped off! You’re being conned!


Does anyone else understand how ridiculous and absurd these kinds of assertions are?! The consumer who actually put up their own money and took the time to evaluate the product in their own home/system reports it works as advertised, they are happy with it, that they got their money’s worth. Then someone else claims they were ripped off?!


Imagine an agency investigating consumer fraud getting a complaint like this: “My neighbor is being ripped off!” “No, no, he thinks it’s great, does everything he expected it to. He’s very happy with it, but I just know he’s being conned!” Do you seriously think they’re going to open any kind of investigation into it?


You can disagree with what someone says about the effectiveness of a product all you want, but to say they have been defrauded, when they report the exact opposite, is patently ridiculous.

I have been on the receiving end of some unpleasant comments by some on here.

Though, as many, I'm in pursuit of the best sound I can get from my system.

 

Many of the tweaks I have added, have made an improvement.

Most of those I cannot explain how it could possibly be.

 

Some of the additions have had no discernable impact on my music.

I do not tell others how good these ones are. For me, my system, or my ears; no observable difference.

 

What irks me most are those who argue vehemently, that most of my tweaks cannot possibly work, without having tried them.

 

I've been belittled, called gullible, insane, a shiller, a patsy, a voodoist, snake oil messiah, a train wreck, inept, diseased, delusional, and  in need of a lobotomy.

I have been questioned on my experiences, intent, honesty, sanity, and intelligence.

All over my experiences from products supposed to aid my enjoyment of music.
