Polite Rules for discussing Audio related things

Some people have difficulty dealing with dissenting ideas, that’s all. No biggie. Alliteration, anyone? Besides, the way it’s set up now anybody can squeal to the moderator if he objects to someone’s post. It doesn’t even have to be the OP. Hel-loo!

Here is a thought, leave as is.  It is not up to us to police an uncivil thread.  If your skin isn’t thick enough then you have no business here.  This is a forum for all members.  What one person thinks is uncivil, another may think differently.  

@elizabeth You forgot to mention that the following, "Why" and "Please provide figures" are not allowed and constitutes Trolling. as I am mostly referred as.

stereo5 has a point, but some people do not want to contribute to the discussion therefore it does not matter that the forum members have a thick skin. Some are here to sell their gear (think dealers) some are here to make the converstation about THEM (think geoff). In those two examples, the original subject goes off the rails because of ego drive idiots with thier own agenda.
Thread hijackers who kill the conversation. Some even create multiple identities, I guess to further feed their desire to be written about. Elizabeth it would be great if the forum members would adhere to reasonable rules with common courtesy and with the notion of being helpful.... I would agree with it. But even when we discuss negative experiences with any manufacturer or dealer, the thread will get dumped. So the forum really is only meant for positive experiences??? and to sell more audio gear.

Wow, almost all of my stalkers in one place at the same time. Even Cyclops. What are the odds?
