Haha, when I discovered that 98 came here from there, I looked over all the nasty political threads he was involved with. There seemed to be 2 Neanderthals in particular that were constant thorns in his side.
I forgot to elaborate on this. At the time that I started my Sirius subs and joined SBS, I was already involved in two other forums; BMW (Bimmerpost) and AVS (Audio/video sciences). Each of those had a Studio Lounge-like forum (complete with politics), where I would shoot the shit, and sometimes get into trouble. My "discovery" of the Studio Lounge here probably coincided with getting banned from the Bimmerpost Politics forum. And just like here, they shut-down that forum in 2018 or so.
Even on the AVS forum, people were getting banned, if you can believe it. I participated in 2 areas; the Video one (TVs and such), and the 2-Channel Audio one (stereo equipment - not home theater). There were people on the Audio forum who had been members for years, but whose only purpose was to shoot-down any discussion of some things sounding better than other things. It was as if they were being paid-off by the staff of Stereo Review magazine to repeat their mantra that everything sounds the same. My position was somewhere in the middle between the bullies and the wack-jobs. And so I would get into arguments with both extremes, but mostly the bullies. All I can say is that I'm glad to have left that part of my life behind. I think I last visited that site a dozen years ago, just to check something about my TV.
