It's Happening Again
144 new posts since I logged on last. 118 of them unread because of OT
politicaly oriented subjects. If you talk about audio in this newsgroup, don't tag on to an off topic message. You will be ignored (by more than just me). -- I'm really Mike Rivers ) However, until the spam goes away or Hell freezes over, lots of IP addresses are blocked from this system.

Regardless of how benign it might seem to you and others, it's still annoying to the people who find it annoying. I think what compounds that is that a lot of the people who don't think it's problematic refuse to acknowledge that those offended might have a valid position. My point isn't to police the OT threads, but that it shouldn't be surprising when people object to them. These threads obviously have to do with the elections that were supposed to be 'the most important ever" or whatever. They will die down soon enough and we can beat the ol' digital versus analog crap again... or feel superior over someone asking "what mic is best for under $200". I hope so, I think. It not like the daily "best mic for under $200" barrage was that much better. Oh well. -jw |

...They will die down soon enough and we can beat the ol' digital versus analog crap again... Unfortunately that is exactly what some of the regulars here have been saying for at least a few months now. They were saying that things would die down once the election was over, and yet the OT political stuff is just as bad as ever (if not worse). |

And politics affect all of us. Hate the game, not the player. You can filter away the threads just as easily as the posters. You know, when someone is being rude, and then someone else says, "Hey, you're being rude," and then the first person says, "No, I'm not, there's something wrong with you if this bothers you," this does not make the first person not rude; instead, it makes them doubly rude. I'm honestly a bit ticked with the continuing level of off-topic political stuff. The election was over two days ago. As so often happens in elections, one of the candidates won and the other lost. (And, this time, the Supreme Court didn't even have to get involved.) As it turns out, many of the races were decided opposite to the way I personally voted, including the presidental race. But that's life. More to the point, what reason is there to continue to discuss it? It just makes one look like a spiteful person who can't accept defeat with any kind of grace and instead has to continue to whine on and on about things that are in the past and can't be changed. - Logan |
