Why now? What has precipitated this > sudden change on your part? The service is awareness. I've seen many people, again and again, ask the "senior users" to stop trying to control the discussions. Incredible as it may seem, some of those "senior users" never got the point. Now, maybe, just maybe, they understand. And also those people who asked them to stop now know that they have support in their entreaties.
Understand, and apparently I need to reiterate this, the helpful posts are appreciated and truly valuable, I've never once said that the helpful posts are a problem, though some of the other posters wanted to attribute that meaning to my words. I simply want the bullying and silencing of valid opinions to stop. This is a public forum and all opinions are valid and worthy of the disk space they take up. If you guys want to ignore my posts because I want more civility here and can logically and effectively discuss my opinion, then your loss. It shows your true character I think. I've said nothing uncivil or out of line and I've stuck to my topic through all the personal attacks. Well, there was that thing about spending too much time on the forums, but we all know that's true. And the title of this thread, but that was meant to grab attention, and worked very nicely I think. What reason do I need to come here that needs explained? I'm a SBR owner and I use it daily, and I'll mention that I use it with Squeezebox server since that seems to be some random badge of importance to some of you. I've followed Slim Devices for years because I'm a home theater owner and software developer and I have an interest in their work. What prompted me into action was reading yet another post where someone rudely told the original poster that what they said didn't belong here, and frankly I was fed up. And here you see the results, a mostly civil discussion about the issue. The uncivil parts I can attribute to the people who are the problem, and frankly I'm not surprised. When the bullies get told to stop of course they fight back, and then put their hands over their ears. It's typical and expected. -- Nazgul ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nazgul's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79845 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
