How about being honest?

RAHE is what it is, and that means
that any thread is read by all the regulars, which includes a group of very
active DBT adherents.

Why are you ignoring the contrinutions of very active
anti-objectivity activitists, some of whom are responsible for
starting a seemingly disproportionate number of the threads?

Or are you simply interested in a forum that supresses any
viewpoints you find uncomfortable? Do you have a problem with
your position living or dying on its own merits, not artifically
sustained by the life support of censorship of opposing views?


You are right about the "competent thread" thread; it
did not turn into a DBT debate. I was surprised that it didn't, but it could
have morphed into one in an eyeblink. No participant can control the
responses to his posts; only moderators have that power.

False, post nonsense, and you'll be told it's nonsense.

Anyone seeking a
newsgroup free from DBT must seek elsewhere.

Ah, so it IS censorship and acontrolled, sterile community that
you are interested in!

I should have sent the
originator of that question some info on alternatives. RAHE may be free of
vicious flame wars found elsewhere, but the posts are still allowed to be of
a nature that upsets thin-skinned people. For example, some people are not
accustomed to being told they are wrong or being reffered to in any negative
way for their statements, and are recoil when it happens.

So, if you say something that is wrong, you want it to be right,
and don't want to be told it's wrong. What sort of mamby-pamby
world do you want to live in? People post nonsense about
"current amplifiers" and assume since THEY believe it works the
way they think with all their hearts, it doesn't make ANY
difference if the physical reality is something quite different.
Too bad for your ilk that speakers and amplifiers and cables and
magic green pens and wooden hockey pucks don't give two shakes
what you or anyone else believes.

There's a physical reality out there that could care less about
high-end mythology. And the fact that there are people who want
to be insulated from that reality and its consequences is but
one reason why the high-end is become less of a field and more
of a joke.
