I'm taking that real personally. There's no way around it. What you you stated was both accusatory and libelous to me, which is a bannable offense for any member. You can't just write down every thought that comes in your head.
People said I had an agenda when I warned members to stay away from purchasing Singlepower products because I can see the bigger picture which entails all of Head-FI, and now 5 years later, many actions have proved that I was right. My only purpose is protecting the members.
My posts about Head-Direct, are from the heart, because I can't really enjoy my $1400 HD800's, after using my HE-5. We are members first, Moderators second, and if enough people (I'm not talking about NooBs), feel that I am advocating a particular product too much, then PM me. I have thick skin (formed mostly because of Head-Fi).
If someone feels I am overly advocating one product over another, then just PM me (ulterior motives cause a member a need to air dirty laundry
directly in the thread). If I get enough PM's, then I will take a step back, and re-evaluate the situation, and If I "see the light" because of positive, re-inforcing opinions from people that I have respect for) then I will step out of the thread.
I have recently boasted about the iBasso D-10, Whiplash audio's TWag wire, my JH-13, Red Wine Audio, ALO and sys concepts, etc for their products and CS relationship. When someone accuses me of being helped in the pocketbook because of this, then I have to intervene. There is a small mis-conception that Mods get free products or deep discounts.
If this is true, then I have missed the boat. We have no other agenda other than protecting our members from fraud, and that members are civil towards each other.
I said that I would step away from the thread, but yet you persist, and drew me back in.
Maybe, I was being a bit over zealous because I'm thrilled that we have choices and love my H-D products. For that, I apologize. But your statement was over the top.
I will stay out of future Head-Direct threads (unless I see a need for moderation), but please, be careful what you say. What you said was serious, unless you have some sort of solid proof.
I'm going to let this go. But please choose your words wisely. I have been working for Head-Fi, without pay, for almost 6 years, now, trying to keep this, the greatest site on the internet. But I don't need people slinging arrows at me.
I have a great idea...let's go back to discussing what the OP started this thread for, in the first place.
For the other members, i am truly sorry that this has wasted any, if at all, at least, some of your time. Thank you
