Actually, it's all lighthearted banter till a butt hurt AK member complains.It's all lighthearted banter, till it isn't, and then it gets ugly. We don't need that here........

Understood. But original posters and thread participants need to be prepared for varied opinions when they ask for them. There are plenty of examples where someone asks for opinions on a particular component and some brand loyalists gang up on anyone who says they didn't have a good experience with that component or brand. The back and forth usually ends up with the "naysayer" getting locked out of the thread. Another example is when we see the typical "what's the best xxxx for under $50" or "what's the best system for under $200" threads. These types of threads are ripe for discourse no matter how innocent they might seem at first glance and can end up running far off the subject road. And there are the moderator wannabes who tell people that they don't belong in a thread because they have opposing views on the subject. In my opinion, that borders on exclusion and should never be allowed in any forum. In other words, if a thread truly goes off the tracks, either lock ALL of the arguers out of the thread or none.Depends. While of course some feelings can be easily hurt, some go out of their way to be deliberately offensive, while thinking they are staying just inside of some imaginary boundary of the AK rules. it's a very slippery slope that very quickly ends up with hurt feelings on both sides as posts are removed and thread bans are issued. In fact, there is an enlightening thread on this very subject, it may be for the best if that thread isn't rehashed here

I think that brand sucks.
...eggzachary...and "meh" is kind of an interesting state of experience...I've had some great conversations out of a "meh" moment...Sometimes meh is OK, life can't be wow all the time, if it was, wow wouldn't be wow for long......
I don't believe you...if one guy herein knows the value of "meh"...it's you...and I mean that in a complimentary "non Eddie Haskell way"...
I have no idea what that means, so I'll take it at face value as a compliment. Feel free to correct me if I've missed the point yet again.
Thanks for the help!Meh = indifference =
You mean something being normalized, vices becoming habits, etc. Sometimes wow is quickly followed by oh S--t, like when an engine explodes on an otherwise perfectly good aircraft.Sometimes meh is OK, life can't be wow all the time, if it was, wow wouldn't be wow for long......
Meh.
...I keep forgetting you're an Islander...when I lived out on The Wet Coast...it didn't but a few hours on any of the islands to become indifferent about almost everything...except dinner and wine...
I know, but aren't you fascinated now?
