Have you ever thought it would be cool to have a stereo reviewer come to your house?

Doug S. is hawking his book also on the misc. forum and perhaps elsewhere. A clear violation of the rules ...

Oh? Could you please cite the rule he's violated?

... and extremely bad form.

For sure.

I have spanked him for this asking for an apology ... Why am I the only one whose is aggressively calling him out...

"Bad form" really isn't a violation. Maybe you should take your complaint to the moderators.

@audition__audio whatever helps escalating a good brawl here, I am with you.

If anyone needs validation about how wonderful their system sounds from others, perhaps they should also take a risk and enquire how handsome they look standing along side it.

On personal reflection thinking about the reasoning behind the original post, I’ve never found the need to ask, but perhaps if the reviewer was blindfolded…. l could at least sound wonderful.

So you do agree with me or are you just being sarcastic? Always up for a good brawl if the situation demands one. The silence of other members concerns me. Audiogon's silence and lack of action was expected. Until Dougs self debasement I didnt think of him at all.

Not going to the moderators. Not my style. I am hoping more of you will speak out which may not occur. Removing the threads isnt acceptable either. I would want a public admonishment of Doug and a lifetime ban without an apology. I already cancelled my dealer account with Agon for different reasons prior to this event.

The rule is no advertising on the forums. This is enforced with dealers who hawk their lines, but some reviewer teajay used to announce upcoming reviews and I complained about this on the forums as well. I dont recall seeing him lately so perhaps he has stopped this practise. 

I got flagged once for not have the dealer symbol but I never once mentioned my equipment and I simply couldnt quickly add this to my moniker. Yes lazy but I also demand that such things be easy to do and intuitive. 

I have been contacted by directly by a number of dealers who agree with me about this situation but dont want to stir things up. They dont want to associated with anything negative. I am a bit of idealist, made more so by current political and social events. Interesting to see what action these dealers take. 

Thanks for at least agreeing with some of my concerns.
