Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler It's burning!!!

So you understand the irony then. And Fox isn't as far right as many like to believe. Factcheck is anything but neutral. I'll use my own cognitive powers to decipher fact from fiction, and not follow any herd.

Interesting site Trevor ... you still need to fact-check though to sort through it all

Also like here in Vancouver Beverly Hills is looking for an excuse to loot and pillage. Rodeo drives with the cost {lifestyle fees} become easy main targets. For less fortunate peoples.

Here Craigs list was flooded for months with the products hit hardest our last riot. Coach bags in particular.

With a bunch of luck and hope. The justice system will deal with those needed properly at all levels.

Why do you say that?

On using your own cognitive powers: you first need all the information ... factchecking gives you that info ... you can then make your own decisions. Given only one version of what’s going on leads to that versions conclusion.

It appears Craig was serious, as his Axiom gear has been listed on US Audiomart since May 31 early in the morning.

Having spent a considerable amount of time chatting with Craig at the last Axiom anniversary, I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, passionate and very direct. I think he tired of OP's posts - which in this case I did not think were inflammatory.

Maybe we will be lucky and have him return. In my 18+ years on this board, numerous members have come and gone, with some having similar exits as Craig.

One does not dump their equipment because they are upset with what a few people said on a message board ... something else is up here

This is simple. The OP has pushed too many buttons in too many topics here and Craig got tired of it. I danced around that statement previously, but there it is. I've talked with Craig privately about some previous posts, but sadly don't have any contact information outside of the Axiom forums to touch base with him and now he is gone and with him a lot of knowledge and expertise.

So why sell the product if it is an issue with other product consumers?
Part of the Axiom experience was always these forums. The family feel to it where people were welcomed, and we all had a good time while learning more about Axiom products, speaker designs, room utilization, favorite beverages, and some good music. That is gone now and while the products are still rock solid and the people at Axiom are top notch, that was a part of the experience and as such, when that frequent experience turns sour for a while, it can psychologically cause someone to take drastic steps.

I don't think that I would go as far as selling me gear, but I follow where Craig's thought process was on this. Frustration and emotional discord drove him to a drastic step. Sort of the idea of someone hates their job, so when they quit, they want to really quit, and go out in a blaze of glory so that every bridge is burned so that they never could work at that place again. I've seen that happen. Here, the only way to fully ensure that someone stays away is 1) get pissed off about the quality of posts over a period of time, 2) sell the equipment that ties you to these forums.

Craig selling his gear is just his way to ensure that he has zero reason to come back here. It is really unfortunate.

I don't know exactly what happened here. I read this entire thread, again, and don't get it.

Is the post which triggered Craig still up? I saw his LFR1100 Actives for sale on Audiomart. This is not right.

Perhaps Ian can reach out to him.

PS who is OP?

OP = Original Poster = Mojo

I don't *think* Mojo intended his post the way Craig interpreted it, but there was a strong "last straw" tone to Craig's post aimed at Canadians in general. He might be sick of our PM's daily finger-wagging lecture to the world, in which case I'm with him 110% and would cheerfully help him carry the LFR's up the basement stairs to join the protest...

Could be others on the forum as well though, even me.

There is a story behind that beaver. Old-timers might remember it. It was mounted on a heavy piece of marble.

When I first got my 600v2 in 2007, the beaver/marble was perched on top of the 600. It was my attempt to control some cabinet noise. It cut down the noise some. Then one day, I leaned the 600 a bit too much forward to get at the USB port for a code download. I guess the friction coefficient between the marble and wood was too low and gravity got the best of it.

So now I am only left with beaver. If I keep moving it around the flower beds, it does a pretty good job of acting as a scarecrow.
