A note from GD,
It’s been quite interesting watching for the last few days to see if anyone actually made some sense out of what transpired recently. Much to my surprise I have seen only one poster offer up the suggestion that I was disrespected 1st. The others here are still offering up the usual denial about how they indeed did institute the initial offerings of off-color comments and belittling.
Alex you offered me the opportunity to audition the m60’s at your home, which was a genuinely great offer from someone who doesn’t know me 1 iota. At this point I certainly was not considered a troll as you all have so eloquently put it. In fact everyone was pretty good when I posted about how much I loved my m60’s etc. it wasn’t until I ran into the problems with my vp-150 that the real side of the mainstay of this forum decided to surface.
Shortly after posting my woes with the 150 the threads took the immediate turn to what I term “damage control”.
In an almost twisted way I was demoted from fellow axiom comrade to being likened to another user whom, I would now guess, had to deal with the harshness that I did and was deemed to be a “troll”
The discrediting campaign had started, “it must be your room”, “mine is great”, “you’re doing something wrong”
Though it seemed a bit strange I still had to remember I was on an axiom board, what did I expect? Objectivity? (More on this later)
When I had posted my content with the cc-370 I was again met with snide remarks and usual criticism.
Well the precedent had been set. It seemed from this point on any time I would post about anything it was met with some form of spiteful reply, but remember it was me who was the troll, let’s not forget that just yet. Yes I have a problem with disrespect and yes I did retaliate against what now has proven to be the axiom pack of wolves. In the real world if someone gets in my face it’s not met with turning away. Obviously that’s the case for many of you also, as you have proven, denial or not, you did your fair share to incite and escalate the situation. But remember in your eyes it’s not a 2 way street and I was the only party deemed to be a troll, a troll for having the gumption to take on the group of you.
As far as the objective remark I meant exactly what I wrote. Think about this for a second:
You go into a ford dealership and ask about a new car, what car do you think they will try to sell you? No secret here, a ford.
But pretend you are a novice to cars, maybe it’s your 1st car. You would not get an objective fair and unbiased response from the dealership. They would force a ford down your throat until you ended up buying one. That was the point I wanted to make to the original poster. Simply look around for some unbiased reviews.
I was really shocked that so many took offense to that one remark. I assure you it really was not said with any malicious intent; it was simply to guide the poster to read all the material he could about it.
One other issue I wanted to address was when poor tbenn posted a remark in one of the hot topics and got roasted by you guys, I wanted to laugh because you guys were so caught up in your witch hunt and were so sure it was me no one ever stopped to realize hey, what if its not? And it wasn’t!
I really felt bad wondering what he must have thought.
In the end I really do like my m60’s, unfortunately axioms other products proved not to be to my liking, No harm no foul.
I never wanted to be in your secret society, I just wanted to stop by once in a while and post my thoughts. I have never been labeled a “troll” before, maybe retaliatory or irritable, but not a troll.
I think is weird how much you guys are still feeding on this with daily posts referring to “Genetic” this and “Genetic” that, while it’s flattering it is a bit strange. It’s like watching a whole town come out and kick a dead horse over and over.
I harbor no ill-will toward any of you but please take a look at yourself in the mirror on this whole situation, maybe put yourself in my shoes for a moment.
Best of luck to everyone.
GD
