Dealers hijacking the discussions


I’m a very long term member and look at the forums most every day. I’m personally extremely irritated by dealers injecting sales pitches into the discussions which has never really been a problem before. Dealers are biased as it’s the nature of business and this is fine but I don’t go to audiogon to see shameless promotion. There’s one guy in particular that needs to go away. The fact that you’ll all know who it is says volumes about the amount of posting this guy/dealer does on audiogon. Does anyone feel as I do. Just curious.

Thanks bar 81. By the way, Audiotroy  mischaracterizes the thread he invaded to make it seem like the poster was confused about which speakers he should consider. The OP indicated that he currently owned Proacs and wanted to upgrade to either used Sasha 2s or Sabrinas. He wanted help in choosing between those two. Then in came Audiotroy to tell him that he should consider others---with his usual thousand words.
I want all to know that I only call out Audiotroy when he invades a thread  in which I am already a participant and hijacks it away from an OP's inquiry. I will never seek him out just to badger him as my time is more important than to be bothered searching for whatever Audiotroy has to say which is always too much.
I truly enjoy this forum and would be sad to see it devolve into an opportunistic salesman's feeding ground. If I can stop the momentum,I will. I will certainly not remain silent or quit because of Audiotroy's misconduct.   
Excellent post Nonoise. I am not sure I grasp the implication specifically re: the thread topic, but I completely get what it says about the world that has been created by the internet.

Audiotroy, even though I’m new here, I’ve belonged to many forums in the last 25 years. I’m not confused what ’hijacking’ is. Nor salesmanship. As I said, if you have something to add, I don’t think anyone would complain, if you did it in a different manner. I think you’re doing yourself a dis-service here. That’s all.
Take care,

@dlcockrum , I was kind of riffing off what @teo_audio was saying. I think that once societal standards are lowered, boundaries that used to be respected, aren't.

I remember when if anyone volunteered that they had something to sell on a thread, all the participants would chime in and ask them not to do it. That's what the 'for sale' section was there for. There was a self policing aspect here that didn't require the mods to step in unless someone got really out of hand. God, I'm starting to sound old.

All the best,

Alright. It is very plain and simple. All the dealers and manufacturers, please do us a favour and leave this forum once and for all. Just because you have a formal right to be here doesn't mean that you should. Stop irritating us and humiliating yourselves. This is a not a place to do business.
