Welcome to the new AVI forum

Can't really: it's the kind of secret that's criminal if other people do it, but to be applauded if it comes from a converted pigshed that doesn't even check out its drive units before using them, then hails its late discovery, after lots (ie more than five) people have bought the flawed product, as a triumph.

I think...freedom of speech is one thing, but freedom to abuse? I don't really know the issues, and in some respects I don't care, but maybe it's time the mods took a more active line when it comes to abuse?

I'm not sure Freddy but I think JD is the only active mod on here , he seems to play a pretty straight hand and a very light hand , hell if he didn't most cable threads would get everyone banned <S>

Totally confused now. Ain't the first time though...

Actually , he isn't an active mod , yet . But I think he is looking to become one . Now , if he chooses AVI actives over others , fine . If he prefers other actives over AVIs , also fine .!

What a pathetic subject! I don't give a EDITED if JD or anyone else (excuse the pun) bats for the other side. Would it be okay, then, if JD moderated for HFW?

Although it has created over 30 responses (probably).

Who knows, but ole Ash may just make a return on these pages to share in his (active) wisdom. :doh:

I've been watching Wolf of Wall Street. Did I miss anything?

Yeah, three hours of your life. You will never get them back.

 

[jcbrum]

Only lemon saying he wished he could join in with Ashley, and the other lads from here, on the 'other' forum.

But he can't, because he's been a naughty boy, and doesn't play nicely.

Actually only two, I had a bit of a nap in the middle.

Good choice.

Obv burning the candles at both ends takes its toll.

Drop the attitude AL. The products are good and always have been. The attitudes on both sides have been factors and fractious at times. There's no angels in any of this, me included.

There has to be balance and respect however, but that applies to anyone.

Times change.

I agree.

Fighting on forums, or between forums, with religous fervour over what is supposed to be a hobby, is silly at best.

True, when the red mist descends, words can be spoken that one can later wish had been left unsaid, and many of us are not angels in this regard.

AVI have always made an excellent product, and one that generallly provides excellent value for the dollar in the market place.

Attacking people over their HiFi philosophy viewpoints, in the greater scheme of life and the true evils that can befall one, seems churlish and rather pointless at the end of the day.

I understand it, and would describe myself as someone who does calm rather well, but I have been 'guilty' of getting railed up when I was a member of AVI forums, and reading of some of the attacks being made here, on AVI members.

And yet conversely, when I joined here, I also railed at some of the attacks being made by AVI members, on the membership and moderators of THIS forum - which resulted in some seeing me as being two-faced and got me a ban from AVI forums.

At the end of the day, this should be about the hobby and not about personalities IMV

Perhaps if we all took a deep breath before we posted, and thought more about the consequences of our words, life would be easier on these forums, and these forum and inter forum 'wars' would cease to exist.

I hope so

As Record Spot points out, times change, and it's time IMV that all parties extend an olive branch or two, and resumed normal polite and respectful dialogue.

After all, shouldn't we all be online friends, sharing an interest in music, film, and the kit that makes it happen for us in the home?

Best Regards

JMac

Be strong and stay the course, comrade lemon. Fight the good fight and remember, don't take any guff from these swine *Yawn*

Misinformed bile-laden EDITED does tend to be confusing.

 

[chebby]

Misinformed bile-laden ....

His cousin, Osama, often wondered how he got that silly nickname (until, one-day, he saw him pretending to read a newspaper whilst it was upside down).

 

[Escapism]

Sad when moderators sell out. Still, I hope Ashley gives you a decent price for the DM5s. He should, after all, selling your soul shouldn't come cheap. Certainly more than a free meal down the local.

The fact you find this sad, the fact you bothered to post this at all, THAT'S sad! :roll:

 

[Richard Allen]

What the hell's this thread all about eh??. Something and nothing. I come on here to try and answer questions relating to kit that members ask but, and i'm going to be brutal here, If this pettiness doesn't stop I'll be leaving the forum.

It's really depressing to go to the main index page and see one of these 'threads' coming about. You sort of know what's going to come next and yes. I agree with recordspot about toning down the attitude.

If we were to try this sort of behaviour in a bar or club we'd get our collars felt.

I reckon that when a thread like this starts up, DON'T POST!!. Then it'll disappear as quickly as it started.

 

[Phileas]

I agree, it's all these silly people who keep posting that keep these threads alive!

 

[Escapism]

Agreed

 

[Native_bon]

Well you need to inject some fun into any thread if not after a while becomes boring & repeatitive.. Also needs to be some balance & know when to call it time out. If you get negative stuff from the same person all the time, then they are hiding under the internet just to be silly idiots.

 

[steve_1979]

Cracking film. I should have hated it because it glorifies everything that is bad about society and yet I found it to be riveting from beginning to end. It's certainly not a film for people who are easily offended though.

 

[alchemist 1]

still none the wiser

Your not alone.........:?

Hey the sun is out, really beautiful out there
