Jed,

actually, at the time, there were closer to a dozen folks on several forums (5 that i can recall) who seemed to have made it their life's ambition to slap down any positive comments about Outlaw.




and that was one of the more civil threads! there were at least two whole threads that i can recall that were actually deleted. one on each of the two "big" forums.




i'm not so sure i kept it all that well all the time back then ... a lot of the attacks were quite personal. but i tried. thanks for noticing. maybe i did better than i thought i had.

pat----

Maybe I'm wrong, but the ability for anyone to post anonymously has got to be the number one reason why some threads / posts are less than civil.

Personally, and again this is just my opinion, I feel that the courage of your convictions should be backed-up by the courage to use your real name. Anyone who posts in an uncivilized manner using anything but, is simply a coward.

Jeff, amen to that. I believe that there is too much money at stake in the retail world of audio and when companies like Outlaw bypass the retail, the retail folks feel threatened. In this case, the quality of the product is not the issue, just the money.

Well, they are, kind of. You can get kit speakers from Madisound that use Vifa drivers. I did and I like them a lot.

Are you speaking of audio people? I mean like the Outlaws such as Scott or other manufacturers, or everybody? I like being somewhat anonymous and let some people know more as I get to know them better. I used to post here under my real name, but I just wasn't comfortable with it. I switched and felt much better. Anyone remember the other one?

JT,

I was very careful in my choice of words.

I respect that people wish to remain anonymous. However I don't respect when they hide behind it while behaving in a disrespectful manner.

As I have posted previously, I'm all for good healthy debate and disagreement - anonymous or otherwise. But if someone feels so strongly about a point that they must resort to hurling insults to try to make it, unless they shed their cloak of anonymity while doing so, I would consider them a coward to their convictions.

That's how I feel in my daily life - and I see no reason why I should feel any different when I'm in a forum such as this.

But I certainly meant no disrespect to anyone who simply wants to remain anonymous.

i am interested to see if the outlaws put multiroom in the 1070 seeing as they asked us to help product plan. the results from that were mixed i guess, with a slight unforunate edge to dont have it... does anyone know?

that is a very good movie, especially the first time you see it. made me start to like kevin spacey.
