My reviews come from me, myself, and I....not from some post on a review website from an unknown source. Had it been from an Audioholics editor for ex., that is a different story. AVS and other forums are being taken over by trolls:A person that tries to leave a bad taste in other members mouths regarding a product they have no factual knowledge of, and in most cases, have never heard themselves. Just ask Ajax and Craigsub, they luv those AVS trolls

In reply to:

Does he ever say anything that's not accurate and articulate? I think Tom is far and away our most articulate board member. I read his posts on threads I have little interest in just to enjoy his deft use of the English language. Three cheers for Tom!




Ditto!

I have always enjoyed reading what Tom, Ajax and JohnK writes. All three of you guys are class acts!

Mike, I guess what bothers me about your post is that you are saying you, and others, have been "shot at and got the crap beat out of me" for expressing an opinion. I must disagree. There are TONS of opinions expressed on this forum, many preferring products other than Axioms, that are welcomed and accepted openly.

It's not the opinion that is resented, it is HOW the opinion is presented that brings objections. For example, I don't quite understand what opinion you are expressing with this.

"Big whoopi….. my farts stink and I don’t mind it when I’m told they do. At least they’re noisy so everyone knows they’re coming and have the option to stay or leave."

But, I find HOW you expressed that opinion in bad taste, offensive and unnecessary. Surely you would agree that if it's OK for you to express your opinion, then it must be OK for others to express their opinion on how you express yours.

You seem to be concerned about the sensitivity of those who are criticized when you say this.

"I’m pretty thick skinned and can take a lot of BS, so just imagine the calming effect that you posse members are having on others that happen to be more sensitive.

What about the sensitivity of those who are offended by HOW opinions are expressed? It seems to me that part of the burden of posting in a public forum is taking into consideration the feelings of others, and expressing your opinions with as much tact and consideration for opposing opinions as possible. But then, that's just MY opinion.

>>Don’t you guys think your being just a tad bit defensive? I don’t see what’s so bad about the review.

Defensive ? He said Rush sucks Donkey **** !!

I was going to reply in my "offensive" mannor, but screw it. It's just not worth it.

Cops will be cops. There's no reasoning with you.

I agree with you Drew. While the Axiom posse is very knowledgeable and usually understanding, they are a very stubborn bunch on certain occassions. I'm especially shocked because I usually agree with Spiff and Ajax more often than any other members but I happen to disagree with them on this one. To each his own, I guess.

Isn't it great how everyone's opinion is different and there's no absolute right or wrong? You gotta love this universe.

Guys... where is our sense of humor? I thought Mike's comments were very funny. I'm pretty sure that is the way he intended them to be read. I agree that some are too quick to pound the gavel to the lectern. If I don't like something or it offends (rarely)I move on to the next thread.

As far as the original topic I didn't find the review overly critical. Not only that it was just one persons opinion.
As for me I have only heard the 100 and it sounded just fine from where I was sitting.
peace
