RE: new to forum, what's up?

Posted by racerguy on December 6, 2007 at 10:33:10:
It boils down to there being two rabid format cheerleaders who precipitate all the shouting. Without them, it would be pretty quiet here - it was a pretty slow forum before Jazz Inmate visited Sony with Jerome (a Sony employee) and got indoctrinated into the Blu Cult, and Ole apparently decided that Blu was his new meal ticket. :-)
>>just a suggestion from a new lurker, it could have it's own forum for those that feel the need.<<
This _is_ that forum :-)
Seriously, it's better that it's here. Ole has tried to push his agenda in other Asylum forums, and I believe he was politely asked to keep it here. Others have attempted to crank up the HD vs Blu war in Digital, Hi-rez, and DVD-Audio, but have all been bounced back here. The funniest part was when the fan-boys tried to justify hijacking the DVD-Audio forum, claiming that HD and Blu are really audio formats, because you can turn off your TV and just listen to the soundtrack if you want. Yes - they really did try that as a justification! :-)
It's actually pretty easy to avoid the cheerleading and fanboyism - just don't read any messages from Ole Lund Christiansen, Jazz Inmate, or ZS KEKL.
