These day's it seems that if someone post the slightest negative comment about a technics instrument they lay themselves open to public abuse and ridicule. I don't understand it and to be honest I don't want to anymore.

It really is pathetic that you can deride good people and pour scorn on their professionalism simply out of malice and with NO good reason. Whatever some of you may think these people make a good living at what they do and they would not do that simply by 'singing along to smf's'.

Ok so I rose to the bait and you can tell me so (I am sure you will at length), but it is no joke anymore. You obviously don't care what effects your words have on people so I will oblige you with the same lack of courtesy. However much you dress the barb with homespun yarns of domestic bliss the intent is always more than obvious, it is contemptuous and spiteful.

The fact that someone does not play a technics does not make them any less a professional, any less likely to have a relevant opinion or any less likely to be able to give advice worth listening to. Only an imbicile would think otherwise.

The people you seem to loathe have been here for years. While the 'technics people' were busy spoiling the canada forum they were here. While the 'technics people' were busy spoiling the technote forum they were here. Now you are spoiling this forum and they are here. When history repeats itself and you move on somewhere else they will still be here. The difference is that when you do move on again I won't be coming along for the ride. This is not fun anymore.

That being said there are some wonderful people here. It really is a privelage to know most of you. It is such a shame that the bitching and sniping of a few are fast making this place somewhere to be avoided, for me at least.
