jimjimbo Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 In the giant scheme of things, with all of the horrible events going on domestically and internationally, this is just a very miniscule blip on the radar. I get that. I am a member of this forum, and this community, and have been for a number of years. Not nearly as long as some others of course. This place, and the people in it, are important to me, and I have made many friends here, and participated in many superb events through this community. And I certainly hope to continue this long into the future. However, I can not, and will not, tolerate the decidedly blatant offensive and rude statement that is a signature of one specific members every post. "Klipsch Forums, Full of Audiophools". This member has stated that it is intended to be offensive and incendiary, so it is "doing it's job" according to his post. It's an embarrassment, plain and simple. I respectfully ask that this signature be removed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebuy Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I guess I'm a "Audiophool"--even though I have "entry level" Klipsch speakers--I love em. There's not a dam thing he can do about that---Rock On Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 haven’t noticed that one; but, i wonder why a person would intentionally want to be offensive. Does life suck that much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzog Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Some "audiophiles" chase the perfect sound their whole lives. For a lot of us on this forum, I would venture a guess that we have found our perfect sound. At the very least, we have found the sound that we are excited to go back and listen to every day. So, to each his own in terms of sound. However, I will be home enjoying the sounds of my Klipsch and Altec horns tonight, presenting the music how I feel it should be. I have found my audio nirvana and suspect others here have as well. We are such 'phools'... It's all about the music, folks. Now get to listening.

wvu80 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Redacted: I would ask the member involved to please change his own signature quote so there is NO flame baiting in any manner. Mods have other things to do. Edited October 6, 2015 by wvu80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bella Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Sorry, new here, so maybe my opinion doesn't count for much. And that's fine. But isn't pointing out the offensive signature playing right into the hands of the culprit? It is his/her stated intent, and now by making a whole thread about it, did he/she not attain the goal? Is posting about this not the actions of an unwitting accomplice? I myself do not put much credence into the disruptive activities of others. If one chooses to be an ***, let him be an *** unto himself. Respectfully Edited October 6, 2015 by Bella 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Pardon me, but can I interest you in a pair of Zircon-encrusted tweezers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David H Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) But isn't pointing out the offensive signature playing right into the hands of the culprit? It certainly is, He is probably doing a happy dance knowing it got under someone's skin. Easier to just laugh at the sig.

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted October 6, 2015 Moderators Share Posted October 6, 2015 Pardon me, but can I interest you in a pair of Zircon-encrusted tweezers? How much? Is it pre-ban or post-ban Zircon. Who the heck is it? When I am on my phone with these tiny letters that I can't see it doesn't show signatures. I know there is an option where you can block specific member's signatures from appearing on your screen. That could help until there has been an official vote to shun or burn the individual at the stake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Well since my vote would only count for 3/5 and I am a female, I suppose I should just sit down and be quiet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) I say,, let the signature stand. Part of that free speech stuff but, don't give the signature any more traction by starting a rant over it. Klipsch forum member are quit the savy group with a vast array of audio knowledge and expertise. They are above statements as in the signature. Many of us have never met face to face on the forum but, really know a fair bit about each other from our interactions on the forum. These interactions tell a lot about a person and we can decide who to pay attention to and who to blow off so to speak. We don't want to get into the habit of censorship and thread locking over every little issue. Things that are not accepted by the masses will fade away on there own. Silent public rejection sends a strong and lasting bitter taste in one's mouth. Edited October 6, 2015 by derrickdj1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
