[size=10.0pt]Friends, audiophiles, music lovers, and lost internet nomads I am here before you today to inform you of a crisis that threatens to shake and destroy the foundation that Head-Fi stands on. Head-Fi should be a place of sanctuary for any lost internet wander that needs advice to better improve their life sonically, where a man can dip his cup into the stream of information and see it filled with clean untainted water. And here at Head-Fi, that stream is more like a river, but as the banks widen, so does the chance for impurity.[/size]

[size=10.0pt]For those of you who have been here for longer than me, I applaud you for working hard to keep this community strong, but It seems to me that there is a void on censorship and leadership on these forums. Any good audiophile or music lover would not suggest someone spend one dollar of thier hard earned money on a piece of equipment or CD that they have not heard themselves, except the case is that not everyone on head-fi is a great music lover or audiophile. There are newbies, and internet spiders who try to convince other newbies and internet spiders that they are in fact sonic prophets who know the sound a brand without hearing them! As senior or intermediate members of the community, do we not have the right, ney, the responsibility to combat these heathens? This void in leadership must be filled by those of us who are mature, who have heard the sound from around the corner. Even when a Bose, or Dr. Dre thread is violently attacked by said heathens, and even when we who have heard their sound do not think that they provide sonic fecundity, we should furiously defend their right to be only judged by those who have experienced them first hand.

[size=10.0pt]So what do I suggest? If you find someone of suspect, please quote them, and politely remind them that you cannot give a good recommendation without experiencing said recommendation. If they respond that they have heard it, then apologize for your error.[/size]
