I for one am sick of reading your passive/aggressive biching about how this place isn't up to your standards and how on one is helpful to you. You reap what you sow. I wouldn't answer a single question for you simply based on your condescending and passive/aggressive attitude towards the entire forum.

    No one will care if you leave because this place isn't your personal "safe" space.

    As has been suggested earlier in this thread, maybe in the not too distant future we will be able to have an audio gtg and share our passion for Polk Audio speakers.

    Thanks Jstas. This, or something similar, should be added to the "Rules of Engagement" and should be required reading prior to joining the forum.

    So, I want to make sure I'm on the right wavelength ...... food fights are a BAD thing ?

    I ..... I didn't ..... know.

    Okay, let me re-calibrate the oscillator on the refram reverberator ... a little more on the horizontal azimuth .... vertical could use a little tweak, too ...

    tumblr_nn4bp0bRaA1s01qkyo1_500.gif

    Got it. I'm now dialed directly in to station WDUB.

    Good news is, it's a steady signal. Bad news is, it's kind of ... well .... steady.
    Sort of repetitive. Picture's kind of distorted, too.
    But in a good way !

    My last comment is that perhaps when you discover that everyone on a given forum, this one or otherwise, has a problem with you, and you alone, and that one fact is the only consistent thing tying everything together, perhaps the issue doesn't lie with them,but in some behavior you continue to repeat.

    I find this comment somewhat disturbing. I am hoping it was meant in jest, although you implied you do not jest with someone you do not know well.
    I find it quite hard to believe that "Everyone" on this forum has a problem with DuB, and likewise hard to believe you have spoken to literally everyone about him.

    I will even agree with you, at times, some of his comments seem :out of place" or could cause some of the backlash you mention, but to literally insinuate, Every person on the forum has some issue with him?

    I see the same 8-12 guys Bashing him, and a few others people, no matter what they say, then then going back and piling on over and over again, almost as if it is entertainment or a way to fight boredom.

    I seem to remember someone telling me about being embarrassed by how several in the forum behave.......... :*

    In my minds eye..it would be like a big reunion or wedding where everyone would be drinking like a fish,and someone would bring up an issue that happened 20 years ago or so and then all hell would break loose!!..Hey what is that I hear?..The paddy wagons coming!...LMFAO!..

    I will come right out and ask you. If this place is so horrible/intolerable, why not just
    stay away? When I joined this place, I acted like an a$$ on several occasions, got into some stupid back-and-forths with a few people, and wondered why I bothered logging in again. But after awhile, it started to occur to me that - A. the stuff I thought I knew about was nothing compared to what a lot of people actually did (WTH is a noise floor, anyway?), and B. I could learn an awful lot by reading more and posting less. Hence my fairly low post count, even to this day.

    Speaking only for myself, I am glad I stayed, and figured out what this place was all about.
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?
