So everyone has a opinion and agree or disagree we deal with it we might argue and quarrel a bit but for the most we let the other ass brey yes I incluce my sely when I say this . So if a person is not entitled to say what thet think or feel what does that mean exactly? what does it say about the powers that be? . I have had a GREAT morning I got banned from AudioKarma and I gotta say itz a Whimpy Politically correct don't say anything against any gear all gear even Mattel's Close n Play with Miss Piggy on the tonearm is High Fidelity and You're alright I'm alright letz sit in a circle a sing Kum Ba Yah pussy of a board . I thought the reason any of us joined a board such as this or AK was to pursue Higher Fidelity in our systems? that is what made me join anyway . Sometimes I will point out what I feel to be fairly common knowledge among hi fi fans like a dome has better dipersion than a 5 cent cone tweeter from 1965 . So anyway that got me banned and I am more relieved than upset because the AK isn't about the pursuit of fidelity it is about nostaligia which is totally kool too bad they tried to pass it off as an Audio board . If you have thought about joining AK do it if you like nostalgia not the pusuit of trying to get more from your system .

You should become a mod then .

may the bridges I burn light the way...
I'm willing to bet that there is more involved here than what you've stated. AK is a good place with good people, it isn't the be all and end all of audio sites but what is.

Quite frankly if I can't tell you I don't STK amps or 3 inch cones then your borad is a lil too Kum Ba Yah Kum Ba Yah Kum ba Yah . AK can kiss me when the sun don't shine .
There is no guarantee of free speech on privately owned web sites. No different than a newspaper refusing to print the letter you send them or a radio station not putting a caller on the air.
The US constitutional guarantee is in the Bill of Rights, and it only states that there will be no public law prohibiting free speech. That's got nothing to do with what private individuals and businesses have to permit.
Now that we have that out of the way, I've never spent much time at AK. However, it should be pretty obvious that some special interest web sites are a better fit than others for each individual. Don't waste your time on those that don't work for you. Trying to get the others to change to your liking is tilting at windmills.
I am not telling any one NOT to join AK I am just pointing out the site isn't so much to do with audio it's a nostalgia site "I bought these 3 inch fullrange speakers when I was 8 everybody love me" . I f you like nostalgia join fill your boots . If you are in to getting the most of your system stay here or look elsewhere .
... perhaps you need to think about the subject titles you pick and the nature of your initial comments. It certainly wasn't a "free speech" issue!
This chap just knows everything that matters.

I like AK, it does tend to be more civil than other sites. Some like that and some don't.
Once in a while someone will bring an attitude to that site, as if you need a certain level of gear to be a serious (audiophile, music lover, whatever). That certain level of gear is usually just about exactly what that person happens to own at the time, even though many other people would consider that level of gear to be a beginner's attempt at something listenable.
goblin - In order to buy or sell stuff on AK you need to be a subscriber, $25/year. Right or wrong, good or bad is up to you, but it's the way they have it set up.
koolio I am glad you like it there next time you go if you into the chatroom tell em Doug sayz hi

I tried to sell a Sansui G22000 receiver and was unable to post in the want add section. Asked for help, got no response, so I posted on the Sansui section. My post was removed almost as fast as I posted it. I let them know what I thought of them... banned for life, dont miss it, lots of other great sites.
Cool item!
