    Hmmm I was trying to be smart, the reference to the bridge was that trolls live under bridges, And yes I'm having a beer with supper from the lighthouse brewing company a dark lager.

    Is this thread a resurrection from years ago or something recent? It's like some residue from the Club Polk of 2008 kicked lose.

    Hi Tony,

    Obviously, the squackers on here definition of a troll is totally different from what Polk mgmt considers a troll. The fact that the individual is simply expressing a different view point from the clicque on here does not necessarily make them a troll.

    So if you have followed the rules and reported the supposed offending posts and no action has been taken then by Polk's definition, the said individual is not a troll. And Polk's definition is the only one that matters.

    Don't like it, put them on ignore and move on. This has nothing to do with PC. It's clear that some of you just want to be able to do whatever you want, and Polk is not going to allow it.

    The sooner some of you accept that you don't run or own this board the better off you will be.

    If that is so unreasonable, find another board or create your own.

    Cathy,

    Again, nobody is asking that Polk overlook the violations of anyone. We, the vast majority, are simply asking that the rules be applied equally for ALL offenders.
    Very few people will disagree that certain people have violated rules 2 and 5 but have not been subjected to the same punishment as others.

    http://forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/147317/club-polk-rules-of-engagement-a-refresher#latest
    2) Trolling - members who make a conscious effort to inflame or irritate others will be subject to warnings and/or bans.
    5) No baiting or fighting. Personal attacks, trouble making, inappropriate language, or any threatening or offensive behavior will not be tolerated.

    And even rule 7 could be considered to have been violated. Don't agree that cables don't make a difference? Well then don't slam brands just because it doesn't meet your opinion.

    I have had my hand slapped several times because I let my emotions run away with me sometimes. It isn't that I feel any hate for anyone but that I feel passionate about this hobby.
    But it gets annoying when the same actions that I and others have been punished for are allowed to happen over and over.

    The door swings both ways. We shouldn't engage the trolls and the trolls shouldn't be allowed to ignore rules #2 and 5 like they have been repeatedly allowed to do.

    You are pissing n the wind trying to explain anything logical to to a defender of the trolls! The ignore option works ok, but it doesn't eliminate you seeing the ignored members avatar.. (which would also be nice if it took care of that too! )
    "if it's not fun, it's not worth it & remember folks, "It's All About The Music"!!

    oooh, that was good -- I had to chew on it for a moment before I got the play on words (maybe that's because it is early in the morning & I am hypocaffeinated, though!).

    Hey guys.... appears to be the same fun and games on the Forum.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    I think it' got something to do with Einstein's Theory of Relativity and time dilation (don't ask me if it's the Special Theory or the General Theory, though)...

    Dr. Brian May wrote a song about it, in fact.
