NM, probably too political for here. PM me if you want a copy.
It is so friggin obvious yet it takes a fearless professional "Top psychiatrist" to spell it out.
While I may agree with the esteemed doctor, I can imagine the flame throwers are being ignited right about now.
Uh oh, I hope TroyD doesn't read your post F1nut. I was chastised earlier for not realizing Polk Audio forums are not the place for politics. I'm pretty sure he'll let you slid because of the amount of posts you have contributed to the community.
Here is TroyD's quote from ealier today, "Take the political horse**** someplace else. There are any number of political forums to accomodate you."
There is quite a difference between the article that he posted and this:Quote:

I'm also pretty sorry you weren't sorry about "bringing politics into the discussion" either, but what do I know....If this guy is going to stay around, can we change his name to RonJR. or something?Quote:

Rskaravan, CL35, Yashu....now, those guys would probably give you a hand.

What are you all doing? Please don't take yourselves so seriously. I made 60 prior posts that were socially acceptable so if I make a few posts that don't agree with you 100% you'll just have to grow up and deal with it.
I made two posts that had a political connotation not to insight controversy and not to break some rules I had never seen before but because that is simply how my brain works. I realize now it would have been a lot more fun to you guys to answer the "what are you doing with your $600" question by stating I was going to Vegas, buying some blow and hiring a hooker. Or whatever answer would make me seem popular in your circle of friends.
Considering I mistakingly made two political posts, that I doubt the moderators give much thought two, I will be around for awhile as I continue to build my HT system and come to this forum for sound technical advice. It would be an honor to be on any of your "ignore" lists because I am here to get technical advice and not be your chat buddy.
That brought me to tears!Quote:

You had to invoke the political aspect of it (I mean, this is being passed by a Democratic congress so there aren't any clean hands) in a fairly inflammatory fashion. That sort of horse**** always invites discord.
Now, had you taken the point and moved on, no problem. However, you chose to escalate it a bit and even carry it into a different thread. If you want to take potshots at me, bombs away. However, it's not likely to endear you to a lot of people around here (and not because I'm a beloved character, either).
That said, shake it off and let it go and you will get along fine. If you keep picking at it, nothing good can come of it.
Lastly, this forum tends to operate without a ton of moderator intervention so if you are waiting for a mod to chime in, that will usually happen about the time you get banned.

This is some very, very good and helpful advice. It would behoove you reberly or whatever you like to call yourself to heed Troy's friendly counsel.Quote:

Ron, dont' you have anything better to do with your time than think of snide remarks to make towards a community you openly hate?
Also, free speech doesn't apply on a private forum.
Ron,
I'm not threatening anyone with being banned. Reberly alluded to the moderators intervening, and that doesn't happen until a banning is imminent. I'm actually trying to prevent such a case.

Here you go Mr. Bobman, I corrected it for you. ;)Quote:

While this is a private forum, we all must live and let live (freedom). The only time censorship is needed is when views are openly hateful and/or obscene - which, I have found by experience, is often the case.
For example, when we saw images of you last week.Quote:

Ron, it's amazing how your psychotic dual personality is. You are the one who shows hate, taunts, ridicules, and stabs members continually. You poke, prod, troll, derail threads, continually take jabs at members and post usually meaningless, taunting comments and spew them all over this forum.
All anyone has to do is look at your post history.
Then when someone strikes back at you, all of a sudden you take the high road. Ron, the almighty [fill in the curse word or adjective of choice here] hypocrite.
Words can not describe how badly you are thought of here at this forum. This is not from me, but from many members that hang in this forum......and before you think it, let me "predict" what your next move is. You are going to play the "gang" card. Oh that's right, we "gang" up on you and that's not fair and the moderators need to do their job and I need to be banned because I got personal and I "attacked" you on a private/public forum. Call the fookin' WHAAAAAAmbulance. You earned it, deal with it.
There are at least 50 posts made recently that I can reference to where you publicly "attacked" members of this forum as you sit here and play the "victim" card.
Of course, we have been over this time and time again. One of these days I will realize that I'm
