Your statement appears to be simplistic and presumptuous, the result or seeing that an Inmate (or Inmates) have rained on your little ego trip parade by having the unmitigated gaul and temerity to actually be critical of something you just happen to have either bought or bought into ?
Follow Ups:
especially when I look at your system specs and read this."Rega being replaced with Garrard 401: plinth under construction."
?????
I just meant that that seemed a prime example of the way people often fly off the handle here and get quite inappropriately irate. What was there in the original post to justify Fred using language and tone like that? He may have meant it tongue in cheek but it really doesn't look like it, and that kind of response is what I think many people find offputting about this forum. I grant you that later he admits he went a bit too far.Can't tell what you mean about my system details, this discussion was about politeness when I got involved. By all means lets get back to audio!
about "equipment bashing"..not manners. But some seem to think it is bad manners to point out the King has no clothes..Fred was trying to say it is indeed kinder to say so then not...The manners police disagree and label most anything perceived as a definitive position as hate speachhere is part of what he said
"...a definitive example of bashing by some untoward lout, but just may in fact, actually be an entirely well meaning sincere, warning "Buyer Beware" or "Heads up" ?"... I believe you and Fred have much more in common than you think..that is what I meant about your equipment..He would approve I'm sure.
Which as I, and indeed Fred later, noted, is a prime example of the kind of intemperate language that seems to recur all too often here.
