    It's:
    1. Listening to music
    2. On the Hi-Fi
    Easy. What's to argue about?

    Cathy, it's a matter of the rules not being enforced evenly. Passive/aggressive posting is as bad as blatantly calling someone a name, etc. Except passive/aggressive is acceptable on CP. It shouldn't be because it's blatant and recurring from the same individuals about the same subject matter. They are incapable of positive contributions and are here just to disrupt. It's a pattern and a very easy pattern to see.

    If you or Polk higher ups can't see that, well I'm sorry but you're blind and not dealing with the entire picture. Just picking and choosing what you want to see.

    Just my .02c

    H9

    P.S. I am upset at the inequality of enforcement and the fact that some trolls are left to pick at the scab as they see fit by being passive/aggressive and then playing the victim.

    All I see H9 is someone who thinks differently about audio than the majority here. I understand that quite well since I do as well. All I see is someone posting a different opinion, and a pack of wolves led by Jesse all jump down his throat.

    We all have the right to post our opinions, we all have the right to disagree with those opinions. Then we all have two acceptable choices, respectfully disagree with statements backing up what we believe, or ignore those opinions that differ from ours.

    What is not acceptable, is having 10 guys all jump in and start calling the poster a troll and verbally attacking him from every angle. And all because he voiced a different opinion.

    You all see a pattern, well common sense would say put him on IGNORE! That is what the damn button is for.

    But some of you get just as big a kick out of engaging and fighting with him just for a bit of excitement. Maybe if makes you feel like tough guys, and big men. All I see is a bunch of immature, middle age men who would rather act their shoe size than their ages.

    It takes two or more to make a fight, you would rather fight than walk away/ignore which makes you just as wrong as the one you are blaming for your own responsibility in this mess. And please stop blaming your lack of manners on not wanting to be politically correct, that's a BS attempt to excuse your own bad behavior.

    What Ken should do is put all the participants who engage in this crap on a 30 day time out and keep doing it until all get the message and stop, or leave, at this point I don't really care which.

    Life can give you all the REAL drama that you can handle, nobody needs to be inundated by the made up drama on this board.

    X says this place is and should be an Audio forum, but wants rules his way
    Complains about hot girl pics:
    Then posts and quote "Nancy Sinatra was so cool and yet so hot."

    Complains about violence in womens sports:
    Then posts and quote "The Patriot are 9 - 0 with a last second 54 yard field goal by Gostkowski against the Giants.
    It was perhaps the most exciting game of the year thus far."

    HMMMM...he must be a Libra, since he can't make up his mind

    Here at Club Polk we know drama! Xcapri is a troll plain and simple.

    You don't know jack since you only have four posts, and yet you are trying to stir people up and continue the drama.

    Why don't you show yourself back out the way you came. We have more than enough drama queens on here without adding one more.

    Wow Cathy.... You tell us that we are wrong for being fed up with the trolls and we should just relax and let it go. Way to set the example there sunshine.

    I've said the last I'm going to him and immediately put him on ignore.

    BBL, if you know of any other active female participants on this board please share.

    And pot meet kettle, since many of the threads that have gotten shut down is because of some of you sexist men insist on posting pictures of near naked women which we all know is against the rules here but they continue to be posted. And then when they are removed, you whine about it for months, when you could easily just click to another website and get your fill.

    So congratulate yourself as well BBL.

    Have a nice day!
