Thread hijacking .. a common theme?

[3db]

I opened a thread..

Audiophiles beware, the other senses are more connected than you think.

that got hijacked from post 21 onwards. Why is that?

Threads like conversations change by the minute. Most forums have threads that change as people see things through their experiences. I wonder if threads would have much contributions if people had to rigidly stick to topics. Sometimes the original topic is only so interesting and is taken over by other subjects.

What I find most annoying is people speaking about equipment they have no experience using. I doubt if that is going to change. I guess just part of the joy of a free forum.

True enough

What I find truly annoying is people jumping down one other's throats without asking for clarification on the previous post . Making assumptions and my favourite .."you implied" just brings bad blood all around and should be controlled ASAP.

I think the topic was about an old issue, hence the reference to the thread.

The topic was about going off topic not as much about past threads.

Can't really go off topic if the censors delete your comments..right?

The OP posted a thread that is quite relevant with the comments It was based on a PAST THREAD. That is a fact. It is only fair to let everyone see what I have posted, rather than deleting it before they can.

Some human behavior is much like comments on IC's. It becomes more of a shaping behavior rather than a honest one.

I have a suggestion for you. Since many of your posts were still based on you wanting to win the argument on cables start your own thread to educate all who believe as you do. I will not read it or participate unless I receive complaints of abusive posts. It just needs to stop being infused in other threads. Folks this is why threads go off topic.

This sounds personal. Shouldn't moderators be impartial and objective?

Why should I...you are just going to edit or delete it because it would not agree with your opinion.

3db - You participated thru out the the whole thread and perpetuated more and more off topic replies by continuing with your stance on cables and differences (or your belief in lack of). You could have easily stayed on topic by not responding to what you consider off topic or hijacked. It's a shame some people could just not answer a few simple questions or post about real world experiences and the thread was closed. It caused a 3 day lull in any posts at all. Not quite sure what you are complaining about now.

There were attempts made by me to bring it back on topic as well. Its a shame some people read in implications rather than seeking clarification.
