not for whom the troll bellows." Old audiophile

celander,

We all know the forum is free for all. Yet, participating on it is occasionally considered stalking. I am far from being obsessed with geoffkait. Just merely thanking him for a suggestion about a cake.

Geoff,
That's nice but remember, I'd have absolutely no reason to "Troll' your old posts. The line I used is an offshoot of one that I originated in Junior High circa 1965.


It looks like you're over 50 years late.

Perhaps, considering the nature of trolling and not trolling in this thread, when I wrote the occasional article for AudioExpress and before that Glass Audio, the old Ed Dell publications, it was considered good form to welcome newcomers. They're the future of the hobby after all.

Here we get quotes like:

There's a current thread about how things are not selling on this website, partly due to the graying and shrinking membership, and partly due to the snooty attitude of some members both in postings and listings.


There's a  connection between how we view newcomers and how they react to us. Speaking as a newcomer, people notice that sort of thing.

Do we want to encourage the newcomers or are we altogether too good for that?

sejodiren,

This is about the moment you'd better stop responding. Otherwise, you get sucked into purposeless arguments and end up wondering what is wrong with all of us. Maybe try a different thread or take a walk outside? I promise you, you will lose nothing.
