Re: That post is little more than a troll

"Again, if you believe that Jon is abusing his power or pushing his opinion using his authority rather than simply expressing his opinion, please use Comment link."

That's not my job, Rod. You have had a number of articulate explanations from a number of people about the on-going problem with Jon's moderating at CA and you simply ignore all these complaints.

"I don't read Cables."

Then how can you come to this conclusion:

"IMO, Jon is doing his best to participate and help folks and also act as a moderator."

Or, this one:

"IMO, Jon is so accomodating of newcomers that it amazes me, even ones that I'd peg as trolls. I think we both know that most old salts know that Cables was created for believers. That argument doesn't hold water."

You said: "The other problem comes from a position that we should make Cables completely subjective. That just doesn't work. Geometry is an issue and much of it is easily measureable. While some aspects like teflon versus PE are more subjective, I don't see where we can draw clean lines. People want to talk about these issues and they want to postulate their theories without being subjected to an inquisition. Generally, it's working."

Then the argument that CA is for people who want to share subjective experiences is just a ruse. Its real purpose is to serve as a place where Jon can continue disseminating his junk science without any effective challenge. The most telling fact is that the ban on Steve remains. The only reason he was banned is because he was so effective in demonstrating how faulty and sloppy Jon's approach to science really is.

"I do take issue with the comment about lies regarding Steve. Originally, I did tell Steve that I wasn't in agreement for a ban. I got out voted. That's how it works. Sure, I could have over ruled, but I respect the moderators input. The decision was reviewed recently and we came to the same decision. Personally, I like Steve, though I wish he'd get rid of the DIYAudio tag. OTOH, I also think that he loves to argue. Put him and Jon or John together and you get tons of arguments that go nowhere. If Steve and Jon can work out their differences between themselves and submit a plan to the Bored for coexistence in Cables, then I'm sure we'd lift the ban. That hasn't happened. The ban on Steve was related to continued contentious behavior. It's that simple."

Why won't you address this post:
