The discussion did not at any point rely on arguments by authority, so Felix' "credibility" is completely unrelated to his argument. Your ad hominem attack rather severely harms your own credibility since it seems that you have run out of other means of persuasion. > I clearly explained the reason for my hint and he started an offence > and apart from this his offence contains absurd claims regarding > professional audio gear.

Ah, so now we are getting to "arguments by authority". > I never was interested in this off-topic talk, my original reply was > on-topic. I didn't start it! You most certainly started the ad hominem attacks and the argument by authority bullshit. You didn't start the disagreement but this is a discussion group and your role in it is not that of a pope but of a contributor. I very much agree that you were totally out of line here. Unfortunately for Felix and the general appearance of the list, the resources for maintaining a mailing list like this really preclude adding a layer of moderation so it is a resource problem to stop people from occasionally seeing a list member go off the rails. If the problem becomes systematic and not otherwise possible to deal with, that might warrant action. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
