Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ?


With few notable exceptions, not for me.

I am empathetic with everyone naturally, at least i try, i try to stay positive and nice but i like to discuss even uncomfortable truth sometimes, i admit this point,  in my own passionate way (as acoustics basics being the root of our hobby not purchasing upgrades) once this is said,

 i think as  Nassim Nicholas  Taleb, that :

«if you want to be at once rational and ethical, you must have the courage to accept that being nice to an ass...e is equivalent to being an ass...e to someone nice»

I think Taleb is right but we must begin by being nice ourselves to everybody, if not it will be impossible to distinguish between nice people and  not so nice one.

 

mapman said it well in one sentence :

There is no single solution that is best for all. 

This is true.None of us had the same goal, budget, gear, room, and wife... wink

But for example , acoustics science is the basis of audio, not the inevitable upgrades race and  it is not a debatable question...

Then i cannot go back on this point just to be nice...

 Once this is said i value the opinions of everyone here even if i disagree or even if will not take it in account for purchasing or to fine tune my system/room, i value others opinion as  different valuable human expressions which add something unique to aspects of society and humanity...

 

There are a number of posters who know what they are talking about and whose opinions I value.
On the other hand there is one in particular who makes lengthy posts which are full of rubbish, off track and who has no understanding of what a PM is. And there are some who would be better off on ASR.

There is dude, laoman,  also who send mail of insults and harassed me  in private mail...

He just wrote an hypocrital post above without the courage to name me...

If we analyse my post text information content with many referential articles versus the idiot sending insulting email in my private box the matter will be settled easily...

 Sorry but i defend myself  when someone attack  with falsities and even with just  insinuation ...

By the way i learned a lot when i discussed rationally with some ASR member here...But laoman is unable to learn from someone with whom he disagree it seems...

 I welcome everyone ... Amir included ... If they dont imitate laoman with harassment and no arguments save insults...

 

I did not name anyone because I did not want to embarrass anyone- however you just did a good job of embarrassing yourself. I find it amusing that you recognise yourself as making bloviated, meaningless, nonsensical posts.
