The word "crazy" is unhelpful
AlexS:
@RoderickGI as you can see nobody is willing to listen.
And now I have no choice now but to stop. Thanks for the warning. Consider me stopped.
glynor:
Thank you. You've said your piece. We did listen. I did not delete anything you wrote. Hendrik didn't agree that it was right for JRiver, and I agree with him generally (though I have no power to do anything for or against the idea).
We don't know what Matt and Jim and John and Bob and the others think, because they didn't comment. But the discussion is still there, and here, for them to see and consider.
Disagreeing isn't the same as not listening.

No one educated believed the earth was flat during the middle ages. This is a fable created in the eighteenth century, originally to impugn Catholics, which somehow snuck into our "conventional wisdom", that has more recently been adopted by a variety of pseudo and anti-science causes like Creationism, climate change denialism, and alternative medicine tomfoolery.

Actually the Flat Earth idea came from a popular 19th Century Novel. The novel included "primitives" who believed the Earth was flat.
The audiophile and anti-audiophile groups are both entirely emotionally driven belief systems. Neither side will listen to the scientific arguments of the other side (similar to today's political debates).

That popularized it in the 19th century, but there are historical precedents from the 1700s where it was used by protestants to insinuate that Catholic education was inferior, and by none-other than Thomas Jefferson.

1) It would look (and would be) unprofessional.

This is an unsubstantiated assertion. It certainly would be no more unprofessional than "Music, Movies, Politics, and Other Cheap Thrills" sub-Forum there.
--- Quote ---2) The topic(s) in question were already beaten beyond death ...
--- End quote ---
Unsubstantiated assertion again. In the lossless codecs thread, we had not even gotten to the point of clarifying the OP's actual intent.
--- Quote ---3) Having such topic(s) open wouldn't only incite more trolling, flaming and arguments.
--- End quote ---
Unsubstantiated assertion again. You seem to only have the same sort of argument. Just loudly proclaim made-up reasons why the other side is wrong. (Apparently you think that "open threads are a gateway drug" ;) )
--- Quote ---It'd be a lose/lose situation.
--- End quote ---
Unsubstantiated assertion again, you did not even bother to specify the losses. Quite a lot of bullying going on...
