Dear Audiogon,

The ad was on the top of the page in the same space where you run your banner ads. I haven’t seen it in awhile, so hopefully it was pulled.

I can't speak for the admins or the owners but it is their website. It they want political ads and no political discussion that is entirely their prerogative. 

But, I bet those are browser ads. I've seen them too.....but only on Audiogon.

There have been politics inserted into a number of discussions but they have not taken a political turn so it has not bothered me. Folks seem to behave fairly well in this regard.

My preference would be to see no politics here at all and usually that's the way it is. That's part of why I like coming here....get away from all the political noise and blather everyone is constantly exposed to.

Interesting thread.  I don't recall seeing any political ads here.  The only banner ads at the top and bottom of the A'gon page appears to be from "wikibuy".

I continue to favor this as a no politics zone.  Our discussions become contentious enough without politics!

Websites don’t necessarily control the ads that show up. There’s usually a service (like Google or Doubleclick) they sign up with that distributes the ads.
