Personally, I think Richard has brought this on himself.
You can't act like he has done (and still does) without pissing people off.
And people who are pissed off don't always act rationally. Well blame in my opinion is down to who was the first person to piss, in your situation it was you.

Ok, this thread is going to generate some very strong opinions and is in danger of becoming an attack-fest. If you can discuss the principles, then fine. Otherwise complete posts will start being removed.

Play the ball guys, not the player. Debate can be informative and fun if one sticks to this simple rule

Perhaps Richard could set us an example on this matter ?

Indeed.

As to the wider matter of the product ban as well as the individual ban, it's difficult to comment without knowing what provoked the decision.

It should be obvious the guy is trying to stalk me across the forum the same as he did at Audio Talk. Not once have I initiated "conversation" with him. My preference would be to not look at Noddy or the stupid wind up type faces ever again.

Apart from his predilection for employing humongous typefaces in his posts, my interactions with Mr pre65 thus far have been both informative and cordial, which reminds me, I must buy a bigger monitor

On a serious note, I see no point in banning anybody, its like losing an argument by using insult. If their posts are moderated and the offending parts removed, it then offers a chance for them to start behaving differently or continue to have their post modified into ineffectiveness.

That's fine, providing you don't mind the grief and have nothing else better to do with your time! There's a lot to be said for a quiet, stress-free life Marco.

NVA - British made amplifiers with an enviable reputation for sound quality and price .
Is that gratuitous promotion? It is at least the 3rd reference to the merits of NVA in one of your posts, although I understand you own no NVA amplifier, cable, or other product, and therefore cannot have paid for one.

It seems the links aren't working, anyway this was the first post in the thread that started all this. rubycat rubycat is offline pfm Member Join Date: Oct 2009 Posts: 116 Life after Naim ?.......oh yes NVA A80 amps I posted previously on here about where to go next after I sold a big Naim system, CD555, PS555, PS555, Nac252 +SC, Nap300, PMC OB1i and Chord Signature/Indigo's. One of the many recommendations was NVA amps, the more I read the more I liked the thinking, its a world away from the other forum the Doc tells it like it is, sometimes brutally honest but honest and bull free quite a shock. I had kept a Naim Qute Mk1 and added a Cyrus CD transport and some old PMC TB2 with Nac a5 cable. Desperately needing more grunt I took the plunge and purchased two A80 Mk2 mono amps on a 30 day sale or return basis from their eBay shop. My feedback was 'fxxk me'....'fxxk me, all the money I had spent previously and yet here with a basic system these amps had just blown my socks off. The detail, emotion and wide open sound stage, the speakers had just disappeared, these amps had just got out of the way and let the music through all that information must have been there all along. I rely don't miss the Naim at all these are wonderful amps. The downsides are you must rely use NVA's speaker cable and in my opinion interconnects as they are part of the amp, but they are cheap and sound very good. Don't expect glossy instruction manuals this is a small company and the Doc is always online to help. There is also no protection circuit in the amps so double check all connections before switching on and every thing will be ok. The benefits for me far outweigh these points and I cannot see myself buying anything else for years to come, thank goodness my search is over now back to the music. P.S. my only connection with NVA is that I am a very grateful customer. **************************************************************************** And this was the beginning of the follow up thread that has also been binned.

Why should you want a stress free life? You'll just go to sleep and miss the remaining years. Keeps you young.
