Polite Rules for discussing Audio related things


The polite rules for discussing audio:
Folks post three types of messages:      
Questions ,about audio function, method, what to buy..  
Answers to other folks questions..  
And blogging. I bought this, I did this, here is my experience                        
Allow others to say and describe what they experience and hear.   Allow then to offer reasons without arguing.   If it is a blog, stop telling them what to do! They don't want you arguing, just wanted to say I did this.
Offer POSITIVE responses. If you disagree with them, do so in a polite and friendly way.        
Offer alternatives without aggressive language.And above all, stop tit for tat aggression. Turn the other cheek dudes, turn the other cheek.
What do you think would help create a friendly happy place to discuss audio?

Apparently, all I have to do is whisper the word stalker and glupson shows up almost immediately. It’s uncanny. Also kind of creepy. 😛

I’ve only been here a short time but in that short time it is clear that geoff’s ratio of contribution vs insult/blather is poor enough to qualify as a troll.

"He may be annoying to some folks, but he is definitely not a troll"

If he is not annoying to you then "some folks" is accurate. But he seems to be plenty annoying to everyone else. Thus=troll.

"I would say he creates a lot of difficulty for those with problems understanding sarcastic humor, that is a fer’ sure."

No, no, no, no, no. There may be some here who don’t have a sense of humor or who may not appreciate sarcasm but that is hardly the issue. The problem does not lie with the rest of the members here. Sarcasm and humor are one thing. Geoff’s posts are closer to what you would encounter on an elementary school playground....and that is a compliment. Good witty sarcasm is wonderful to behold. Geoff does not have that gift.

geoffkait,


Following a public thread is not stalking. However, if you do feel a need to be followed, I recommend Twitter where you can be your own paparazzo. Most of us you dread so much will not follow you there.

Yes, geoff calling someone else a stalker is rather rich. But, it massages his ego to think that he has one.
