Wow!!!!?????!!!!!?????!!!!?????

I could hardly believe that such a thread and the comments it cited would be allowed by any moderator. Talk about an uncivilized exchange? And at a site where as you put it about two years ago; "they have more interesting and informative discussions there in a week than we have here at AR in a year." I mean we see a few tiffs here now and again, a few jabs and barbs but this goes beyond the pale Phil. And you still go back there to endure more of that kind of talk again and again? Why? Are you really the masochist I referred to jokingly in one of my previous posts? I hope not but it's hard to see how it could be otherwise.

BTW, I thought that by excluding discussions of DBTs they would avoid flame wars at CA. So flame wars there not only exist, they are tolerated. They just don't want flame wars there about the subjects that they don't want discussed such as DBTs. Like those germaine to the crux of the issue of whether there are audible differences in wire, a fact which they themselves readily admit to in their no DBT rule explanation. So which is it, they don't want any flame wars or just no flame wars about subjects dear to their hearts...and their backers pocketbooks? And you still say the whole thing isn't just an advertising billboard. I'd make some nasty comment but I am far to civilized to say what is really on my mind and certainly far to civilized to post on a board like CA which tolerates that kind of abuse among its participants. How about you Phil, is that YOUR kind of place or isn't it. This is not about technical issues or discussions. It's about why any self respecting person would participate in that whether as the person dishing it out or taking it. Sick Phil, very very sick. Get help.

I don't know - you'll have to take that up with them. My position is clear. If they are going to impose an anti-DBT rule and allow the moderator to delete or ban anything that challenges him, then they should ban all technical discussion on that board.

And you still say the whole thing isn't just an advertising billboard.

I've never said it is or isn't. I've asked for you to provide proof to back up your unequivocal claim that it is. Apparently you don't understand the distinction. Have you ever considered asking for a return of YOUR tuition?

CA is not my kind of place and I don't participate. I still try to fight the good fight elsewhere at AA. I realize that participating in a board where you don't have the comfort and safety of preaching to the choir is certainly something according to your value system you would consider sick.
