With all the personal attacks it sounds like this topic needs to be locked. For the second time because apparently after it was locked the first time the mods deemed it appropriate to allow it to surface again with the same result. Better such hot button topics should be better expressed on our own Facebook page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max2 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 What isn't here shouldn't divide us. We all have common ground and honestly our passion for audio and horns should overcome anything we have no control over which in a round about way includes political views or judgement. If the you know what hit the fan here in the great U.S. and we all lived in the same community or town, i think we would all pull together and help each other. Aim for the butt if you shoot the arrows, but if you do just remember we are all going to be sitting at the same table here like always so wear your long sleeved shirts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get notifications when somebody quotes my posts. I'm not reading the thread for its content, I was trying to be a peace maker. I'd rather focus on what we have in common which is Klipsch speakers and keep politics and name calling off these page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimbo Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Dave, let's not forget that you used the terms "redneck" and "hillbilly". Maybe if I said "I was just joking", everything would be ok......no. Suggesting that it be locked will not make it so. Disrespecting the subject, then backtracking because you were called out is apparently OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was speaking in general, I could have used Youtube, Reddit, Twitter, etc. The point being there are many other outlets for personal attacks and those should NOT be tolerated on the Klipsch Discussion Forums. That's not why I post here and I don't want to read them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panelhead Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I am sad with the passing of John McCain. I doubt if my politics aligns completely with anyone else’s. Here and elsewhere. Do not sweat it. He had to be one tough SOB. The type of injuries and then torture he received in North Vietnam permanently effected many returning Veterans. It seemed to make his resolve and work ethic stronger. I think McCain was an anomaly. A honest politician. Was in it because he cared about this Great Country. Gave more to it than almost everyone. Way more than me. The fact his beliefs were different than mine is minor. We do not all have to agree. His family is rightfully proud of his Legacy. If he had made a better choice for running mate I think he would have become President of this Great Country. He said a real funny about losing the election. He commented that he had been sleeping like a baby after the 2008 election loss. Said he would sleep for two hours, wake up and cry. Then fall asleep again and sleep for two more hours. Then wake up and cry some more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did not call @rebuy a redneck, I did, but I can say that to him and he can say that to me and we would both laugh. To us it's just kind of the way we talk, it's part of our culture. He lives about a half hour from me and we "know" each other, even though we haven't met. I'm telling you, he's a good person and nothing he wrote regarding the subject matter was intended to be disrespectful. That's the way I took it, and he confirmed my educated guess. Nothing can be accomplished with name calling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
