What the fuck is a “boingboing”? Never heard of it. Neither has most of the developed world, I imagine. Parlogram uploads all their videos to YouTube, just watch it and comment there if you really need to, at least there your comments will have an audience.
I WAS BANNED FROM BOINGBOING!!!!!!
This is really unbelievable. A reader sent me to a BoingBoing video "A deep dive into the German and UK editions of The Beatles Collection BC13" by "Andrew from Parlogram Auctions". He compares in the 20 minute video, the two versions.
There were a few responses, germane to the topic, but it also attracted the usual anti-vinyl trolls like "Pheckphul" who posted "Ah vinyl. The listening joy of discovering the new crackles and pops generated as a result of the last time the record was played. Every time is an adventure". To which "cannibalpeas" responded "if your turntable crackles and pops you've either got a shitty stylus or shitty vinyl. Or both". I can quote those because they are still up at that URL.
I got myself an account and posted a comment that the UK originals beat the German originals. I also noted how these vinyl discussion sites seem to attract anti-vinyl trolls, while pro digital sites don't attract anti-digital, vinyl-loving trolls.
I cannot give you the precise wording of what I wrote because the second time I visited the site my comments had been removed and when I tried to log in I was blocked and told that my account had been canceled, which was an absurd overreaction, especially considering what remained up there (see above). I received an email saying someone in the group considered my post "spam".
I contacted a BoingBoing administrator:
"I posted a reasonable response to some misinformation and the result was that someone reported it as “spam” and the comment was blocked.
But worse, my email has been blocked and I can no longer log in.
This is absurd.
I am considered a leading authority on ths subject so to have the comment considered “spam” is ridiculous….
But to have my email address blocked so I can no longer log in, is… well I haven’t the words.
And I’m a writer.

I received this response from administrator Ken Snider (ken@boingboing.net):
Hello,
I'm not sure why you believe your professed expertise gives you the right to come in guns blazing to attack the members of our community, but you will find that your credentials do not give you a pass on respect, decorum, and civil discussion on ours.
I'm not sure how you write on your own site, or the tone you use when referring to others, but the community flagged your posts here for violating *our* guidelines about civil discourse, a level of respect countless other subject matter experts can manage to accomplish on the BBS, but you were unable to rise to the level of.
We ask that you not return.
--Ken.
Now, I wish I could post here what I wrote, which I promise you was not in any way "guns a blazing" or an attack on "members of the community". I certainly am capable of writing that way as most of you well know but in this case what I posted was in no way personal and was merely an observation about the anti-vinyl trolling you all know too well.
So I responded to Ken (ken@boingboing.net):
Ken:
People posting snide negative and false assertions about vinyl playback are fine with you. Those people by definition attacked the gentleman who produced the video by dismissing out of hand the subject. My response was hardly guns ablazing”. That’s a false characterization. I “attacked” no one.
What was “uncivil”?
I followed up with this:
BTW: you didn’t “ask” me not to return. You blocked me from returning for no just cause whatsoever but you allow snide and nasty comments from anti-vinyl commenters under a video about British versus German Beatles boxes. You need some serious self examination, Ken.
BUT KEN NEVER SAW THOSE EMAILS BECAUSE HE ALSO BLOCKED MY INCOMING EMAILS.
So I used a gmail account I have and sent all of the above along with:
P.S.: your "asking" me not to return after blocking me is called "passive aggression".
As for blocking incoming email from me, that's called cowardice.
So, if the spirit moves you, please email Ken Snider (ken@boingboing.net) and request he forward to you exactly what I posted that resulted in the comments being pulled down and my account canceled. And please don't email "guns a blazing" though in Ken's case I think he'd consider a limp noodle a "blazing gun"!
Thanking you in advance for your willingness to participate, I remain:

"I also noted how these vinyl discussion sites seem to attract anti-vinyl trolls, while pro digital sites don't attract anti-digital, vinyl-loving trolls."
I've noticed that for quite some time now. The digital/measurement people aggressively try to save the world from all things analog or unmeasured. There are plenty of foods I'm not a fan of but I don't search out forums on them so that I can post "you guys are stupid, you should try Italian food"
My turntable is under $200 and my record collection is about 12 total and even I wonder what these people are listening to that pops and cracks. They need to clean their records and/or get ones that haven't been abused.
It would be a good topic for a psychological study to see just why they feel the need to actively campaign against something that doesn't interest them.

They used to be a very good site. Not sure about the comments over the course of the years, I hardly ever read them.
But I have been reading/interacting on their comments more recently, and their little insider club of moderators/flaggers seem to lie in wait to pounce on anything they view as one tiny fraction different from their view, and they'll start the bullying. Any response at all deemed too "uncivil" (LOL, yeah right) is deleted, nearly immediately, giving the person being bullied by this little cadre no recourse.
I would not bother with them; they seem to be more interested in doing elbow-drops from the ropes and high-fiving each other with oft-repeated memes than any true exchange of ideas. Their idea of an "civil discourse" is to lecture those with "privilege" - and allow no response to that lecture.
The owners should really look at fixing it, but it seems many founders have left already and the comment section is pure drivel, which is a real shame.

There is a high end audio site The Audiophile Group, with a coterie of high end experts as administrators and 16,100 members. Mat Weisfeld apparently is the chief moderator. There are two questions asked of prospective members, who they are (I am a part time classical and ethnic music recording engineer with 100s of orchestra, chamber and choir recordings) and friends of well known LP remastering engineers. The second question asks if I can behave in a gentlemanly manner and not attack other members. My history of postings are much tamer than yours. I was denied membership on my first attempt and am pending on a subsequent attempt. Maybe it's because I mentioned that I do not stream music, I have 25,000 LPs, 7,000 78s and 7,000 CDs. I mentioned that I own to VPI tables. How many of their present members are as knowledgeable and enthusiastic as I am? If they refuse me as a member, they would probably do the same to Robert Pincus, Kevin Gray and Bob Donnelly (or yourself).

Michael, that story is so ridiculous, I could easily believe it’s fictional, which I of course know it’s not. Boingboing is almost the equivalent of Wayne giving his erection the sound of, “Shwing”. If I were politically correct in the least, walked on egg shells at all times, and gained the monicker of a “snowflake”, I’d like to dish it right bsck, but I digress. A lot...
I watch Andrew’s Parlogram Auctions videos all the time, and in fact, just watched that exact one you’re referring to on YouTube a few days ago. I’ve spoken with him in the comments section many a time, and find him to be a fine English gentleman who’s willing to have actual conversations about a subject he’s obviously passionate about. In fact, we’ve spoken and had a few laughs about the anti-vinyl people who watch and comment on the videos.
The thing that really shocks me, is that you’re the world's utmost authority on the subject of vinyl and vinyl playback. Anyone who’s even semi-serious about collecting vinyl knows who the hell Mr. Michael Fremer is. I can’t believe this asshole, Ken, had the gall to speak about you in such an off putting manner. I think the mood may eventually strike me to email ken@boingboing.net, which sounds like a masturbatory term.

for what its worth, my experience of this vinyl denier/hater business suggests that if the objector in question was once a vinyl head but got rid of their collection when CD hit, its like the ex-wife who becomes the bee-atch from hell - "vinyl/she never existed maaan and even if she did was nuthin' - my new lady/format is the real deal - never mention that name in my presence." Very few of these dudes are "comme ci - comme ca" folks. It can all get bit "ein volk, ein format, ein reich". Now there are some vinyl folks out there who are equally tedious. I have 3000 albums but for me its about music - I'll listen to any format even MP3 if thats all that is available. If the music bites, I'll buy the vinyl - if I can afford it.

I sometimes wonder if what they are doing over there is not some kind of grand prank just to make the left look bad. It's about 4-5 posters/moderators, and they are just out of control. No dissent of any kind is tolerated. If your rational response makes them look bad....it will be gone within minutes. Virtually any response that is allowed to stay is reframed in the worst possible interpretation, making themselves the victim in the process.
Oh, and every single logical fallacy seems to be in play and thoroughly endorsed, most especially ad hominems. If anyone deemed to have privilege (flexibly defined per scenario, of course), they will be dismissed and so on...so I'm not surprised to see someone getting banned over...vinyl.
Similar recent experience
Submitted by RandomGuy on Wed, 2023-07-12 12:20
So I went on BoingBoing the other day. I've been going there off and on since sometime in the mid 2000s and never really thought much of it and I finally signed up a few years ago in an effort to get away from megasites like Reddit. Ironically largely in an effort to get away from right wing shills and trolls and because I wanted to do my part to keep some life in the old internet.
So the other I post that most of the Jan6 people had no idea what they were doing. Sure there were guys with zip ties and punisher masks but like 99% of these people are just lost idiots with no idea what they're actually supporting.
For the record: I always say this about the people that follow Trump and largely believe it to be true. It's only ever controversial with Trump voters and I never in my fucking life thought it would be an issue on a left leaning forume. Also hoever is getting prosecuted was probably planning something or behaved in some egregious manner I'm sure they have a good case and I hope those people go to prison for a long time. So that said:
Some people disagree with this, it's a popular right wing talking point but just because something is a popular piece of propaganda doesn't make it untrue. That's the best kind.
So I start explaining and then I start getting responses faster and faster like they're having some discussion on a discord somewhere, I never get this sort of turnaround on boing boing. and people start taking the things I said out of context. Names are starting to get thrown around and I'm having a bit of a chuckle thinking I must have found a few nutballs. Then I notice these are like senior members.
Like then it got nuts and then they started calling me a Nazi and moved my comments into a thread with some title implying I said we should just tolerate what happened on Jan6.
I was pretty calm the whole time until I saw the Nazi comment and then it's like wow fuck this place bro.
Anyhow it surprised me enough that I did a little digging to see if other people had similar experiences. Yeah a few. Anyhow I blocked them from my email and my router I'm never going back there again.

The moderation at BB has gone through a lot of twists and turns, but where they are at right about now? It's a real blankshow: you are hardly the only one. There is a little cadre of insiders/moderators, and if you don't agree 100% with them, they'll come down on you like a ton of bricks with insults, memes, lectures about how awful you are, etc....all usually taken wildly out of context and using every logical fallacy in the book. If you try to respond in any way that might look them look like fools (and they are) they'll just delete your post. Or ban people in some cases.
If they think they are promoting "civil discourse", they are kidding themselves. It's an echo chamber that's little better than a kids' clubhouse, and if you ain't in it, you'll be bullied like you would not believe (all while pretending THEY are the victims). I've seen lots of this. I try not to read the comment section any more...those people don't want ANY discourse, they want an audience that is unable to respond to their most egregious outbursts.

This is exactly accurate. My position was: Your average Trump follower is an idiot who is easily lead and many of the people at the jan6th thing actually thought what they were doing was fine. Because this happens to be the narrative they're spinning for the jan6 defendants I'm obviously some kind of Nazi spy. Well anyhow I said over and over whoever the prosecution has selected has no doubt done something and I hope they go to prison. But that's not enough, I suspect my sin was triggering a senior user or mod and they all relentlessly dogpiled me.
Never in my fucking life dude. If I had ever gotten that reaction deliberately trying to get someone's goat I would have thought it was a fucking masterpiece but I was expressing a view with an ever so slight whiff of right wing sympathy and suddenly I'm a fascist apologist.
