You shouldn't 'like' Gin's post Mike...he used a plural, so might have been including you. (He wasn't because he does love to be rude whenever I post hahahha, so you're safe, but you didn't know that until just now did you)
A forum is a place where someone can make a thread asking a question. It's free then for anyone else to contribute, within the rules, as they wish. The OP then takes from those contributions as they wish.
That you cannot see the irony that lies within your reply telling me I am wrong and should get out of the thread, whilst accusing me of being someone 'not used to anyone answering back' only underlines how blind you appear to be to your own personality.
And as to this. I repost it here because it needs reading twice by all posters.
but at the end of the day you write a post declaring one manufacturer the “best” and you did it here of all places. In what parallel universe do you think you were asking for anything other than ridicule. Please get off the thread. You’ve nothing meaningful to offer here.
I did you the credit of reading your first post and making no comment because it was a helpful and detailed answer. I am not surprised but am fed up with your inability to offer a basic level of tolerance and good manners towards those of whom you disapprove here. It's not your place to tell anyone where to post is it? You should spend longer here and read more. You will find 10 examples a day on all subjects of posters suggesting a 'best' solution. You will also note, if you don't start seeing red immediately, that the suggestions is nearly always preceded by words like 'I think' or 'In my opinion'. Just like I wrote. "I still think LG is the best"
It's an opinion. You see? A suggestion of what they think will suit the OP best.
And no, just to be clearer, I will carry right on posting wherever and whenever i like, with the proviso that this stupid argument may soon annoy the mods and prompt them to remove the lot, at no loss to the thread.
That's how the world should be. If ever you climb to your hoped for dictatorship here, I'll be leaving. Now there's a positive end for you.
You’re determined to make this about you aren’t you.
Thanks for mansplaining forums to someone who has run them for around two decades. No help to me but I’m sure it might help someone who has been living offline since about 1992. Appreciated.
For clarity I’ve no issue tolerating people. My issue will only ever be with the contents of their posts. I have zero tolerance of anyone who claims a product is the “best” for reasons that really don’t need explaining on a hi-fi forum. Let’s offer some clarity on other claims shall we.
1 - I didn’t “tell” you where to post. I used the word “please” to suggest that you’ve nothing to contribute here and should perhaps contemplate. I stand by that.
2 - Your fantastically condescending “You should spend longer here and read more” is based on your own assumptions and both hypocritical and lacking in self-awareness. I’ve been here years and read daily. It wouldn’t matter if neither of those were true. Just like you I’m entitled to an opinion and just like you I won’t be “told” what I need to be doing.
3 - When posters suggest a best solution few people will have an issue with that. When posters suggest that the solution is a product then that’s based on something else entirely. A range of products? Of course. A type of product? Absolutely. One specific product above all others? I don’t think so. This is subjective. The positives you suggested for said product were subjective.
4 - Masterful bit of rewriting history going on. You said
“You will also note, if you don't start seeing red immediately, that the suggestions is nearly always preceded by words like 'I think' or 'In my opinion'. Just like I wrote. "I still think LG is the best".
Worth noting that I whilst I challenged you on that I also challenged your use of Which magazine; your statement of multiple opinions about said product as fact when they are plainly not. They are simply your view etc. As I said at the time “Best for whom. Best for what. Best in what context. Best at what price. Best for which specific features.”. All readers will have noted your refusal to address those points instead preferring to try and start a flame war. Thus my refusal to back off from suggesting that your opinion should be ridiculed as without the additional content/context you’re effectively nothing more than a troll, which of course is how you’re now behaving.
I’ve no doubt you’ll want the last word. You’re welcome to it. I’ve made my contribution here but that will likely be lost amongst your sniping.
