Even though you were named my post wasn't directed at you personally. As I said, I was speaking more about the behavior I've observed in the last 9 years than any one individual or forum. I was using the example you gave to make a point, it had nothing to do with you as I'm not even familiar with you.


But I don't know why you complain about the "rules of engagement" on AR. The admins run the show and if you don't like how they handle it then hang your hat elsewhere. I've done that myself on a few occasions. I've got better things to do than fight them on how they should run their site. Providing them with feedback is one thing but it isn't right to bend the rules just to suit our personal gain or folly.


So, yes I think you should allow those that wish to discuss the merits of cables to do so without pooping on their parade. Just as they shouldn't go running around slamming your beliefs, unsupported claims or what not. Like I said, if you guys want to discuss technical stuff as freely as others talk about the benefits of cables then post in the Audio Lab. If there is no traffic there is that the fault or concern of members that frequent the other 20 or so forums? I think not.

As I said, "If everyone would "play nice" there wouldn't be a need to seperate them." And the Audio Lab wouldn't even exist. Rules are put in place for those that can't govern themselves.
