Indeed, and *that* is the key point that some people are missing.

You need to learn to look outside of your own 'immediate bubble' sometimes and appreciate what impact the above has had on others, not just think of yourself and your desire to discuss what *you* think should be discussed.

We will gladly "move on" and "grow the fuck up" when a completely clean slate has been made, and crucially, which involves every single last piece of abusive remark aimed at AoS. myself, and some of the mods and members here from the site that can't be named, together with a promise from those in charge there now that none of that will occur again (from others, out with of the deceased RD).

Only when that happens will the ban on discussing NVA gear be lifted, and we can all move on. RD may be dead, but the bile and abuse, aimed in this direction by others and him, contained on his forum, is still alive and kicking in the archive.

Therefore, some folks here need to consider that fact and let it sink in!!!;)

Marco.

Please pay attention at the back. The images are now permitted! ;)

I didn’t forget that for a minute, given I’m one of the ones most affected by it in the past.

We know it is an emotive subject, but please also no questioning of moderating decisions. Persistent offenders will be banned for a week.

I hope we can now get back to enjoying NEBO10. I for one am looking forward to seeing some photos. It's "only" hi-fi guys, let's put this all behind us and enjoy the music!

That's fair enough.

Anything breaking this will be removed. This accommodation applies to just this one thread.

As a reminder the circumstances for banning any mention or discussion falls under the following that while the person in question is no longer with us, the abuse and bile still lives on within the archive on the site that was owned by that individual. Until that material is removed the ban on AoS will continue.

I was trying to post a reminder so this rule wasn't broken by anyone. That was my motivation. Not trying to be heavy handed.

Its also worth keeping in mind that arguing with any of the moderators on here is not on so there should be no questioning of moderating decisions. Persistent offenders will be banned for a week.

A wise decision.

Well done mod team.

Spectral, no one should be immune from questioning, after all, isn't that the catalyst to how we arrived at this sensible decision?

Context can be lost sometimes so apologies if I misinterpreted your intent.

Still reeling from the loss of all my pics from the photof**kit debacle. If any of the mods want to email me, I'll happily email you them and describe what's in them but I'm way past putting time into uploading. Sorry.
