John, this forum exists because I woke up one day and decided to do something positive and constructive than continuing to battle on WBF. Decide what
you can do to diffuse the situation. That you have control over. The change will be hard but once you are on the other side as I am now,
it is very gratifying. You will have a feeling of peace that cannot be bought for any amount of money. Just like a bandaid on hair arm, pull it fast and be done with it
. Again, that is what I did.
Yes, I understand that & I understand that those who followed you here are mostly of a similar mindset to yours. I can understand how mixing with people of a similar mindset is gratifying & less fractious. I would hope that one could also accommodate other viewpoints which don't match your own?
I know you can contribute to this forum. You and have been on the same side of the battle before. Just make that front and center than anything else.
I'm very ambivalent about this statement, Amir -you seem to be dismissing my 305 posts up to this point as of no contribution to the forum. I don't mean to make the discussion of this forum just about me but I do use my experience here as a way of teasing out what this forum is about & what it is not about - I'm still not sure of this.
In my first post here, on the noise floor modulation thread, I posted this
"So let's state up front that the audibility of noise floor modulation is an hypothesis so let's deal with this hypothesis in a spirit of true scientific investigation wherever it leads. "
And "If we want to make some progress on this thread then we need to discuss what might be the composition of such a noise signal & also be prepared to be wrong."
I echo soundandmotion's o/p post here "We want to find a forum that was "dominated by somewhat-knowledgable, open-minded skeptics. A mixture of subj/obj, but with humility and curiosity and fun being the dominant traits"
So, Amir, can I ask you directly - have you found my input so far has not contributed to the forum? I'm not talking about fun & getting along with one another as I don't believe I'm totally responsible for any friction - some people brought their baggage with them from other forums
