I didn't even realise they shut down the thread untill I tryed to thank Mark by posting a thank you in the thread. What gives? I don't understand why somebody would want to shut down a holiday karma.:confused:

Well any way THANKS SO MUCH for the great holiday karma. It's really got me excited about vintage gear. I might even start looking around for some vintage speakers to pair with vintage sony. Untill then I've got a couple pairs of polks laying around I can use untill I find some vintage polks. Well anyway thanks again.

    What in theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee hell is going on here?????:eek::confused:. An altruistic, generous karma thread is shut down because it offends someone. Now I am pissed :mad:. I have to rethink all that is human and try to figure out who the rat ****(s) is/are and why for the love of GOD Polk felt it nec to order Mark to cease and desist on giving audio gear away for free.

    Merry X-mas to all and if that offends..................to 'effing bad, deal with it!!!

    Uhm ..... I don't want to appear more stupider (nice grammar, huh ?) than usual, but I reread that thread and can't see anything that made it turn south.

    Seriously, if somebody would post in general terms what went bad with that thread, I'd appreciate it.

    Are kharma's not allowed anymore, or ....... ?

    Here's Doro's post in said thread. Looks to me like someone complained either because they don't believe in Christmas or the use of the word Karma or maybe that it was Sticky, who knows. After what has been going on in TBT we are all a little on edge.
    Doro wrote:
    The STICKY Christmas Karma wasn't apreciated by a couple folks so it was removed from that status. I apologize that I've done this for a third year....I'm horrible.

    There are a couple other members also giving away holiday Karma, so in the end it all works out. THAT's what it's all about and if my thread was the impetus, rock on, if not.....good will towards men, and I guess women(Only if they are into audio).

    Good luck and I would wish you something but I may get censored, banned or my thread might be deleted. Fate, it's a ****.

    I would suggest that all future gestures just be thrown in the trash.

    I feel bad for you Club Polk but this years Karma was won by NIKOLAS812

    Please email me your addy Nik....enjoy!!!

    Polk speakers performance/quality/value is not proportional to the amount of stupid people on this forum. They are still as good as always.

    There goes Doro effing things up again by giving nice gear away for free.

    I think a 6 day banning is in order!

    I'm thinking of keeping the Peerless tweeters and MW6500. I did it with the OPPO, so what the hell. You guys that won at least already know you are lucky.

    It seems like whoever it was objected because it was a sticky so either:

    A: They were forced to - horrors- look at the word Christmas every time they visited the clubhouse

    or

    B: They were jealous that doro had an unfair advantage to get more people to participate in his karma

    wtf is going on here???

    I am banking on the whole "Peace on Earth--Goodwill towards Men" thing. Certainly some upsetting statement there surrounding Christmas.
