JohnJ Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Simple enough would you be able to stop the current events squabble and blame game crap to save all the other content here in this Lounge? A little restraint wouldn't kill any of us! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 then what -- they rely on lame marketing to remain relevant? I'll bet word of mouth from forum members does a better job showing the Klipsch flag than they do. not sure how old the Lounge is in regards to other threads; but it's pretty popular. if this place is reduced to just talking about the nuts & bolts of their products, I say visits to this website drop significantly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate it. I seem to remember he said the same in a less overt manner a few months ago. Not meddling with the speakers I've got now anymore or the rig, heck it took me thirty years to change from what I'd collected the first decade when the stereo bug bit me. So the lounge is where I've spent 97% of my time here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I'll miss it, if they do close it down. I've made a few friend here... and hope to stay in contact with let's put the flame throwers down and appreciate varying opinions... Would be a very boring world, if we all agreed on everything. Embrace diversity and respectfully disagree 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco-d-gama Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 IMHO Klipsch corporate stopped being a ‘family’ a while back. So family discussions are not an integral part of their business interests any longer. If we become too raucous they pull the plug. Despite our past purchases and devout product loyalty we’re more trouble than were worth (at times). It sad on all sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I don’t blame the powers that be from shutting this down. If adults can’t control themselves, then they don’t deserve the privilege of this forum. Ad hominem attacks, name calling, etc., are inappropriate. It’s not necessary for me to know your politics or for you to know to mine, to discuss speakers, music or Chuck’s @Tarheel latest automotive purchase. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 With the above taken into account. Why would it bother them so much if they don't salary the moderators, or consider how they have deflated many problems here. If they are upset about rules being broken then UPHOLD them! Know that when I've been busted here it was mostly? I think? Response to constant one sided attacks towards one "thing" and "one thing" only. How when that is allowed, is some recognizing their fallacies such a problematic issue? "Here's Your Sign" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um no, they get complaints from their fans that it's all politics in here. 180 from your view point, it used to be nice, friendly, discuss all things related to audio and Klipsch. Go back 10 years and look at threads, I have, people didn't discuss contentious topics other that digital vs. Analog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Response to constant one sided attacks towards one "thing" and "one thing" only. It shouldn't be that people are in trouble for responding to constant posts from other side. That's a natural response. It should be that there is never the initial posts to begin with. There are 5 or 6 here that 90% of their stuff has political undertones to it, left.over from no BS. That's all they respond to. You eliminate them, it's all gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
