It seems like, and I may be wrong here, that Jesse has largely had the interest of Polk, the forum and its members first in his actions and posts. Many of us have precious little time to spend here, and, having built relations that reach beyond the internet (I know, life beyond the internet right?) look forward to coming here and catching up on the community. We become increasingly frustrated when we enter a thread only to find it derailed by many of the same members whose only purpose seems to be disruption for it's own sake. When that pattern continues he points it out, as do I and many others.
We all have varying differences of opinion, and, mostly agree to disagree on certain topics, but, continue to exist in a mutually agreeable societal setting. Some, apparently, aren't satisfied with this and continue to double down on their contrarian position. That is where I leave my desire to not offend. Without speaking for others, perhaps that's where they are as well. I see the pointed commentary about "older" members and think that speaks volumes about the person posting that comment. I, at one time, was quick to defend my position thinking I somehow had all the information I needed and would set others straight with my lifetime of experience. Ha, I didn't know what I didn't know. I've come to realize that many of the older members have much that I can learn. I also appreciate a member like Jesse stepping up and trying to call out those that seem to like nothing more than drama.
When all the nonsense started there were some that tried to defend it, others claimed that didn't have a dog in the fight. I take the position that if that is you're believe then you are guilty in as much as you saw the wrong and took no stand against it. I want a moderator that can see that and isn't afraid to address it. In that sense, I believe that Jesse has shown he comes down on the side of what's right for the betterment of the forum. If you're feelings are getting hurt because of something he said, maybe it's more you than someone else. It's not coincidence that it's often the same few that are complaining. -

Dang Kerry...when you take a swing your not hitting foul balls bro. Rock on with your bad self.
Ken has pretty much put this to rest now. Thanks to all who stepped up, stepped into the weeds to help protect the forum.
Now can we get back to talking about speakers ? I hear Polk has some new kids on the block and I'm jonesin for some member reviews. We can also talk about food, wine and women....those things accompany audio too...right?HT SYSTEM-

Only 3 members stepped up to the plate, two more were seemly joking about stepping up.

This just in...our exit polls are telling us that Ken Byrdson has won the open seat for moderator on the Polk forum in a landslide. -
I would like to clarify a statement I made earlier referring to those that chose to say nothing...there are some here, because of the nature of their business, or, position with a particular company, made the politically correct decision to refrain from commenting. There are times where political correctness, or, being judicious on what you say on a public forum, is, for lack of a better word...correct. I understand the need to refrain from the muck, and, hope I didn't offend those in that position.

Don’t worry about it. With that many words in a post then 99% didn’t read it. Out of the remaining 1% that did read it then 99% couldn’t really care.

...The role of being an active club member, given to the occasional outburst or take down, is not compatible with the requirements of impartial moderation. You can do one or the other, but very few could do both.
I respectfully disagree. I think being an active member, and “given to the occasional...takedown” is not only compatible, but essential to the role of moderator. Do we really want a mod with no dog in the fight“Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.”

Yeah... I could have done some LOL'ing of my own... Thankfully, I grew up a long time ago."LOLing" posts you don't agree with is passive aggressive.

Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."![:\](https://forum.polkaudio.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

WOW, I missed a bunch. Here is a serious question, is there anyone else on the Polk Forum that works as hard as Jesse on the forefront, and behind the scenes as he does? Especially the last couple years? I don’t see it, for someone that is not employed by the company he has had a solid commitment to the brand since day one, so he tells it like it is, that’s one of the things I love about the guy, love him or dislike him, you can’t dispute the facts...
Completely agree Larry.
