I think you misunderstood my last post. Yes, there were plenty of hateful comments and venomous replies...mostly by Frank.
In my first post, I was hoping to defuse Frank’s angry demeanor with a joke about losing more brain cells reading this post than from recreational activities. He took offense and lashed out saying I belittled him. So much for the supportive lifeline. The follow-up post was meant to point out that he hijacked his own post, not the other way around. To me, it went downhill when he made the disgusting comments about his wife. Tells you all you need to know about the guy when he has deleted every comment he made saying something nasty to other members...but not the comments where he says disparaging things about his spouse.
Frankly (you like what I did there), I don’t know why we even reply to Frank’s posts. He only joined Audiogon a couple of weeks ago, and every post he has made turns contentious or gets removed by the Mods (stats show he has started 11 Discussions but only 4 are still active). He appears to just be a "rage baiter" trying to stir the pot. We need to start following Social Media Rule Number One:
"Don’t Feed The Troll"
