    Audiokarma.org

    I recently had a very negative experience with Audiokarma.org. I posted threads about equipment that I really enjoyed and, just because some of my collection was later sold on E-Bay to be replaced with other equipment, my account was suspended! Also, when I did not respond to certain moderators there who would attack my opinions with inappropriate language and a basic hostility, the Amiinistrator decided that I was being condescending. I never criticize other people's opinions and felt that I was treated most unfairly at Audiokarma.org, where my ID was "vintagestereo". You can read the post "1989 Marantz Century Series" under General Audio Discussion and judge for yourselves, if you'd like.

    Anyway, I've reviewed several of the posts here, and it's a much nicer atmoshphere. I am a collector of Vintage Monster Receiver and Marantz BTW.

    Thumbs down

    See you have found a new home over here.

    Before you go spewing all your ridiculous crap over here why don't you tell all the good folks how you violated every one of the very few rules Audiokarma has.

    This guy is a whinny lawyer. If you guys want him you can have him.

    Oh yeah and when he gives you the I'm leaving drama speech don't worry. He will just come back and re register under a new name to keep you company.

    Remember that invited House guest that would not leave ? Thats Kaj !!!!

    Enjoy your new home..

    'Nuf Said

    I think Grumpy's post amply illustrates my point about audiokarma.org.

    Lightbulb very negative experience with Audiokarma.org Too

    Reading these post now I see that this did not only happen to me.
    This happened today. I buy things from online through a certain seller and found some things I thought others would like to know about. My big mistake I guess was listing the item number and the name of the seller. I posted two different post came back have no account with them and well also insulted by a certain moderator.
    Gald to find a better place.

    As long as you post your equipment for sale ONLY in the classified section it's perfectly fine to sell your items here. Posting links to items is OK too. We're pretty easy here, but remember that this is mostly a discussion forum.

    Grumpy is a jackass

    After reading three pages of postings by a guy (and his supporters) who bought a perfectly good subwoofer on e-bay for ten dollars and was furious because when he plugged it in, it tripped his circuit breaker and he discovered that the power cord was frayed and he had to repair it for sixty nine cents, I couldn't stand it anymore so I called him a jackass. When the AM objected, I called him a jackass too. When Grumpy got into it, you guessed it, I called him a jackass three. You should have seen them scramble desparately trying to figure out how to ban me while I insulted everything from their intelligence to their lineage. That's the most fun I ever had on that site. But then what would you expect from a place where a 1950s table radio we used to call "the all American five" is a prized find and a warehouse full of old broken down 19" portable black and white television sets from the 1960s and 1970s is considered a treasure trove.

    Grumpy, you were a jackass then and you are still a jackass now.

    What good is a message board anyway if you can't call a jackass a jackass?

    I only devote time to major jackasses. I don't have the time to give any attention to every little small fry which comes along. Sorry I can't accomodate you RL. You're not on my radar screen.

    Holy beejeebus...

    ...that's what I get for tryin' to pay you a compliment...albeit a somewhat left-handed one.

    "...accomodate..." ME! Accomodate me how? Did you take my post as some sort of attempt at chit-chat?...don't flatter yourself...merely an acknowledgement of your re-appearance...like it or not, we are pretty much cut from the same cloth, you sarcastic, overbearing SOB!

    Watch out for things that fly under your radar...

    Now all we need is PCT, MikE and JR...

    jimHJJ(...how's use of the Bose project gone since last you posted?...)

    As entertaining as this thread is, it is based off someones' 10 month old rant.

    I'm a big boy Eric. I can take it and I can dish it out. My elephant hide is not even blemished.

    As for Grumpy and his crowd at audio Krapa, if you're going to bray like a jackass, you shouldn't be surprised when people call you one.
