    Is right. Why don't you guys just 'chill' forget about all that 'list' talk count to 10 and go to a more peaceful place. No one here has any Vendettas....

    I would also consider your thread a "bully" topic. Bullies like to go around knocking into others just to get a reaction and that is what this post is about.....instigation. Almost humerous coming from someone that names themself Knucklehead. Are you by any chance related to seafire????

    Something for you to consider, folks may not like a bully (although I don't see any here), but they loath a whiner.

    I've never noticed any of these bullies you're speaking of Knucklehead(what an appropriate screen name). The whining that seems to be popping up in new threads every few days is getting pretty annoying though.

    AAHAHAHAHA!! That's great!!

    Is it really your own opinion if you just copied someone elses opinion? I think that skips beyond opinion and jumps right to plagiarism. Which is illegal in case you weren't aware.

    Wow...and you're the one getting all worked up about etiquette. I think you just fell right off the etiquette train with that one. Quit being such a bully.

    I think you're the one mucking up the forum and giving it a bad name at the moment. Think before you speak.

    All I know is that this forum has taken a nice steaming pile of $hit over the last 2 months. Try something else fellas, this is getting tiresome.

    If you cannot be a productive member of this forum then go somewhere else. And yes I am directing this at the newer people. If you don't like someones comments go take a walk, it a forum for freak sakes. Get over yourself.

    And Doug Stanhope could not have said it better....watch below...and not work safe....you've been warned. And BTW if it offends you...well good. Because more than likely thats you he's talking about.

    "Knucklehead." One of the VERY few vanity usernames on this forum that actually fits like a glove. You don't see this often.


    "I have a sea otter in my lap."

    How'd you get that?

    If we were all nicey nice with everyone showing up spouting nonsense,
    it would be a pleasant, but useless place. A little conflict is good.
    Within reason, of course. 90% of head-fi's posts are useless or worse.
    It takes a looong time to sort out who knows what. There's a spin off
    forum where they make the guys here look pretty mellow. But their
    tech knowledge is A++. Asking stupid questions is fine. Giving stupid answers
    isn't. And after a while you get tired of someone starting another
    "cable thread". I have leaned much from reading posts of long standing
    CP members, and even more from visiting some. The long time members
    are fine for the most part. Do a search on anything audio, and it normally
    comes back to club POLK. IS that a great speaker, or just so-so,
    the answer often comes off these pages.

    how can one be bullied on the internet? for one to be bullied means one actually has to be intimidated. do people actually lack the spine and self worth to where they allow themselves to be intimidated by someone typing on a keyboard? REALLY?

    how sad is that man

    best way to avoid your perceived bullies? don't go where they are. it's a big internet dude

    here's my quick opinion, if your whining that your being bullied on the internet, and make posts that literally have no other purpose then to draw people out and bust your balls like a moth to a flame then you have issues, serious issues. if we were really bullies, we would follow you to continue o bully you if you went to another forum. believe me brotha, wherever you go, we aint following

    I'll say it again, if this is your biggest worry maybe volunteer your time to help people that are ALOT worse off than you? it will make you feel better about yourself

    Evolution of a Forum Bully
    Forum bullies are typically intelligent. They begin as helpful members of the forum. But as their power grows, their true nature reveals itself. Once established, forum bullies begin mixing their helpful posts with intimidation. As they evolve, and develop a reputation, they attract followers. The followers serve as back up, often times speaking on behalf of the bully to clarify the forum bully's statements. Other times the followers are like a pack of hyenas jumping in for the kill after the bully has drawn blood.

    A forum bully is school ground throwback. Remember that middle school bully with his pathetic little band of sycophantic followers? That's a forum bully. Established members of the group, who don't agree with the forum bully, usually remain quiet while the bully tears apart people just for sport and as a demonstration of power within the forum.

    The other problem of a forum bully is that he/she creates an atmosphere of fear within the forum - not fear among the established members, but rather fear among those outsiders who want to participate in the forum. It is this fear that enables the forum bully to operate. A forum operates on the classic in-group/out-group dynamic. The bully's behavior is tolerated because of an understanding of this dynamic. You don't attack those within the inner circle, only those outside it.

    If one of the respected members of the forum were to call the bully what he/she is, a petty, repugnant fraction of a human being, this member risks losing position within the forum. The resulting forum is a place in which comments are guarded. Politics are played. And the free flow of information is stifled. The forum bully also undermines the legitimacy of everyone else in the forum.
