Adjutication

[audiophile444]

Yeppie, I have a simple suggestion to make. In my opinion if someone suspects posts may not be authentic , there should be a requirement that that person presents some reasons. For example, one heard the same clip on another site from a different source. Surely, one can give some examples to merit the conclusion that the clip is not genuine. As you know DMX2's clips have been called into question, but in his case there have been reasons given. Now JulietH's clips are being questioned, but without any justification. I am one who thinks it is fair to raise suspicions but be specific is all I suggest. It is up to the accused to defend themselves but I have another suggestion. Why not raise such suspicions in a PM with you first to avert any strife and bruised egos?

Audiophile, there have been accusations from the beginnings of this community, some proved to be true, some (probably) not. In Julieth´s case, these accusations are old and there has been discussion some time (years?) ago. This is no new discussion at all but it may begin once more because sonidos added his opinion to an old thread and you threw down the gauntlet to him.
Yes, accusations should come with reasons and I remember there have been reasons when this discussion started for the first time. Julieth stayed and many members are thankful for that decision. I don´t think sonidos wanted to begin this discussion once more, he just wanted to express his opinion. This is ok although it might be rated unnecessary from here ...

Usually I receive a pm first if somebody is suspicious of a file and usually I ask them to discuss this in public for a few reasons:
- I can´t and don´t want to decide on my own
- I prefer very much to hear the opinions of other members
- I think transparency is an important principle here
- and I do want to give the accused member a chance to answer in public too.

But in a case like this where an old discussion leeds to a new "battle" between two members, discussing in personal (via pm) first, seems like a good idea to me. This could be a better way to prevent somebody being hurt, don´t you think so?

Thanks for your commitment and your thoughts, audiophile444!

Oops, Mea Culpa Yeppie. Wrong forum. I can take kidding as well as anyone. People can disagree in a forum but their remarks should not be personal. I apologize to you and sonidos . I should have confined myself to the thought that in my opinion people should give the basis for their opinions, if at all possible. Even gut feelings can many times be based on something that rings a bell - the clip sounds like one I heard on a porn site, or the circumstances described do not seem plausible. That is only fair to allow the members to mull over their opinions more intelligently and to provide the one concerned a sounder basis on which to reply. I am sure sonidos had a sound basis for his gut feelings. I should have just politely asked him. I'll be more careful and diplomatic in future comments. Regards to all, Audiophile
