So, what is going to be our name?
As Jude says above, "Now's the time."
Think up a new one now, or be an "Objectivist " forever.
Not that being an Objectivist is so bad. In fact, the name is starting to grow on me. Being an objectivist can mean different things to different people. To me it is starting to mean sitting on the fence and leaning toward the side where evidence is mounting. I like to think of it as sort of a thinking man's approach. Determine the choices, sort through the data and try to make an 'objective' decision.
Now it's up to you guys. The Objectivist Audio Forum, love it or rename it.

Sorry, guys. It was due to frustration with how so many cable-related discussions were almost invariably going in recent times--which isn't an excuse for me to ridicule the substantial number of community members who are fool enough not to agree with me. Okay, so here's the deal: There will be an Objectivist Audio Forum (which is what it is tentatively named). It will not be a sub-forum of the cable forum, but on the same hierarchical level as the other equipment forums, as reasonably requested by some of you, including some of the Moderators in discussions with them. The separation is intended to serve as the best solution to both sides of this topic (and I'm not saying "both sides" to suggest it has to always be contentious, but just for lack of better words, and/or the time to think of better phrasing). The separation isn't at all intended to suggest one side is more right or more valid in its positions on matters related than the other side.It will likely take a little while to get a groove on with respect to how the conversations related will settle, migrate, morph, etc. between the two locations, but I do feel confident it will work itself out for the better. Again, I'm sorry for what some reasonably interpreted as a condescending forum name and description (as, well, they were sort of condescending). If you wish to put forth some suggestions on alternate names for the forum, now's the time. Currently, there is no description (to be placed under the forum name to describe what one is walking into by entering it), so if anyone wants to help draft something concise to describe it, we're open to the suggestions there, too. |
