Dealers hijacking the discussions

That's quite a plea, very moving. Do I care? No.

@inna ,

I'm not sure why you feel the need to be so inflammatory in your response, especially considering that I'm not even one of the dealers under fire here (I don't post much on these forums, to sell or otherwise - too busy). I was simply trying to point out that most dealers are just honest people trying to earn a living and don't deserve the level of hostility that is sometimes directed towards them, as you have just demonstrated.

That being said, I'm going to politely bow out of the conversation now since there's clearly nothing that I can say without being senselessly berated for it. I hope that whoever among us dealers have prompted this kind of response from the community will learn from this and take a softer approach with their dealings going forward. Just know that most of us are not part of that problem, and can be great resources for you guys when needed. 

Best wishes,

I wouldn’t buy from the dealers that troll threads. Why would anyone support dealers that have a bias towards only what they sell? Audiosharks.org forum was started by and pretty much run by a dealer in my town. He rarely mentions products he sells.

Dealers that troll this forum and show their bias repeatedly towards only products they sell should sell used cars instead. Nobody likes a troll!

Sav,I wouldnt worry about him,his post are normally nonsense, lol

Audiotroy:
I am not going to debate with you about the thrust of the OP's inquiry which anyone can view and judge your conduct therein. Nor will I repeat what I said above that you also misread.
Last, I am not one who feels that there are good dealers who are my friends vs bad dealers here on Audiogon. You can look at my history. I have never said a word in any forum to anyone in the audio trade (except words of occasional thanks and agreement with manufacturers, manufacturer reps, dealers, audio magazine writers and others) except for the ever speaking, ever selling Audiotroy of Audio Doctor who sells from his home the best gear in the world and who knows more than the other dealers in the area (who, unlike him are only out to make a buck) about all things audio and who will take or create any opportunity to push the worlds greatest speakers, the only speakers to ever garner praise from audio critics,--the mighty beryllium (best substance for drivers ever made bar none) Paradigm Personas even when no one is asking or wants to hear.
