I remember abbey arguing with me for pages about proximity effect and flipping polarity when monitoring in headphones. A few weeks ago I stumbled on a thread years prior where he was apologizing to someone else for doing the same thing.
Anyway, I had reported Thor’s post because I think it’s somewhat bigoted, stereotype driven, and racist. I expressed to John that I think it was bound to lead the thread down the toilet.
Since it has been left up I decided to address it.
That’s what has likely attracted the moderation to the thread.
I think it’s pretty weird how much editing the recent Braunbuch stuff got, stuff being deleted that is obviously not against forum rules. And yet you can paint an entire country with as broad of a brush as possible, make no effort to be even handed, and somehow it’s not bigotry.
Someone could say that German mic history originally revolved around taking the US condenser technology and applying it for the glorification of the Nazis, to make Hitler sound impressive, and as part of the Nazi propaganda effort surrounding the 1936 Olympics. It would be a gross oversimplification, but probably more accurate than Thor’s post. The Nazi Olympics -1936 Berlin Olympic Games
And why was it against forum rules to acknowledge the link between the Nazis and German condenser mic development? Because someone here needs to defend the Nazis? Or Neumann? Yet a post can remain up that stereotypes the Chinese? I don’t get it.
