    ^ This.

    Differences of opinion are fine (meaning you may disagree with RD's reasoning for holding back) but it's not anyone's place to decide if another is/should be comfortable posting something. Also full impressions aren't owed, for loaners the "obligation" is like 2-3 sentences. Even when holding back, RD posts rather verbose impressions.

    @rhythmdevils Thank you for discussing!

    If a neutral admin would like access to my profile to read my private messages to settle the facts then that would be beneficial to me.

    @dematted Why the dislikes? I didnt discourage you from returning from self-imposed exile after you had an audiophile nervosa breakdown because you realized you were extremely susceptible to placebo. I think youre mad at me because our subjective opinions dont align on ETA GenG. We are not carbon copies. So many reasons why our preferences and perceptions may not match. Like for instance my hearing sucks and I mostly appreciate bass (probably because thats all I can hear well anymore if that). Let’s talk about it

    @Vtory Thanks for trying to help diffuse. This wouldve been avoided if rd would be willing to discuss in pm.

    Your posts come across as strange. You're casually impugning rhythmdevils character, then continuing to insist he does something you want him to do. This isn't the place for it, and I hope for your sake you really are ready to back it up.

    I can personally attest to unusual circumstances being the catalyst for disproportional purchasing decisions which may appear financially severe. ME, I think it's best not to judge. We're just a bunch of usernames on a forum talking shit about invisible vibrations and know sweet FA about each others lives.

    Any MOT, or potential MOT, is in a unique situation. Whatever they say publicly will reflect upon their integrity, could serve as the catalyst for drama, and can give the appearance of shit-talking or dishonesty that will reflect negatively upon them with potential customers or potentialy used against them. Even if you feel rhythmdevils could remain 100% unbiased most will not. Including other MOTs he may need to develop business relationships, or avoid being at odds, with. It's basic professional conduct. ZMF made some astute comments on this recently. There's also a much larger world outside of SBAF that doesn't know rhythmdevils at all.

    Editing yourself to protect the feelings of current owners only creates bias that works against the intended recipients: non-owners who're considering making very expensive purchases. If you're pulling your punches then you're doing them a great disservice.

    Again, weird. You're making things very personal. I don't know if you have a wider beef, or if it's that you struggle with boundaries and social norms.

    The vast majority of this thread is noise. Can the mods PLEASE create an impressions thread and move the few impressions here to that thread? Then this thread can just die away...
