Please Read and express your feelings and opinions....

2channel8, I get your point. In fact, I agree. Admittedly, at times I'm guilty as charged. This is why I support the restricted area suggested by arafiq. Sort of like a flash back to the days of "see ya after school".

IMO, this site is about entertainment, amusement, and enjoyment in as much as it about our quest for audio nirvana by learning all there is to know and sharing ideas. Everyone who has been around on this site for a while knows the members with encyclopedic knowledge and those who are circus clowns. So, as lloydc intelligently points out, it becomes rather easy to sift through threads and just skip over those posts you don't care to read.

The aforementioned said, here is an idea for some improved forum functionality. Hopefully the moderators will read this, take it to heart, and get it in the hands of the IT staff for development and implementation.

My idea/proposal is that the OP of any particular thread should also be afforded the function of removing any particular post and/or blocking a poster altogether from his/her thread. That would clean things up rather nicely, IMO.

Time to listen to some music....

There are quite a few trolls and other fools here whose posts I immediately skip. You learn who they are pretty quickly. I don’t know why they bother, much less how they find the time and energy. On the other hand, they are fair game for uncensored responses. I assume some here merely deploy a sense of humor with impunity. If someone defends a Macina Dynamica product, are they joking?

>>>>Calm down, lloyd. You’re getting yourself all exercised. Also, please spell Machina Dynamica correctly. Carry on with your ranting and raving.

@analogluvr The TRL and APL HiFi threads focused on their respective digital players/mods, although both made other components. There was bad blood between the two principals of each company, the effects of which trickled down into the fan base. Search here and you might still find some threads. Many were removed by the moderators they got so bad.

@kdude66 If you thought what was happening on the TRL vs. APL threads here was amazing, you should have read what was happening over on the much less regulated Audio Asylum.
