Same here Nigel !
On some other forums, there's a button (often called "Plonk") to ignore specific members.

I miss this functionality sometimes...
Thank you to our Sponsors

Good bye.Why let them win?! However you your decision is respected 👍
Sorry to see you go from this forum mr_anders_son
I not expected that you give up so soon, but it is respected.
That is a shame - not been on the forum so much recently and didn't see the relevant thread. I would ask you to reconsider - have a break by all means, I have sometimes - but the vast majority of us are friendly and a good range of opinions is what makes this a valuable site, both for us and B&O.

Anders, I for certain would miss you if you went forever. 🙁
I think there are some true "believers" in the company, the brand - and the future of B&O. They don't like people saying negative things, and it's almost personal when people do.
I know Anders' English is utterly faultless, so I doubt anything has been misconstrued or lost in translation. I can only assume the negativity has got to him, to the point he doesn't want to read it any more.
I think Millemissen is possibly in the same situation, and he's happy to stay and argue the positives. I respect that.
Personally, after losing the business I've worked so hard for over the last 12 years thanks to the brand spiralling down a well I should be a lot more negative than I am - but hey, you move on. I too thought a 'rest' from BeoWorld would be the thing to do - but despite me having little interest in the brand at the moment I still come on here to help people, discuss from as neutral a standpoint as I can muster, and obviously moderate.
Sometimes a break is needed, so let's not say goodbye for keeps mr_anders_son. Keep an eye on us, and we'll see you when you feel like coming back.

Technically/sonically/audio-reproducer wise, B&O HAS NEVER been more at the top of both their game and technology. I respectfully suggest now is NOT the time to jump ship.However now IS the right time to remind Bang & Olufsen of their need to stay committed to quality.And to own all the inefficiencies and indulgences they allowed themselves when success was mislead them into thinking their was no reason to internally challenge themselves about the need to change.Brand-only showrooms with uninviting staff? BaH!Instructional guides so obscure as to require YEARS of ownership before the boiled down instruction's intent became graspable. BAH!Taking far far too long to get new products to market. BAH!I'm a fan. I luv B&O, and stay with them to the very end, which I hope is not too soon.But they better start listening to their customers and not to market professionals. They know NOTHING!!Respectfully and with much luv,Barry
I've been there and got very upset and p****d off with a couple of people here going back years but I have to remind myself that it's easy to get angry and misconstrue others motives over a faceless interaction. We can all get passionate or irritated but perhaps this is just a barometer of our love for the brand in the face of adversity and annoyance at B&O management decisions. Give yourself a break from the brand and the forum and come back with a fresh heart. We need all the members we can muster and all the varied opinions to make it supportive and a rich place to be!

Agree with all that - have also found the offending thread and as usual the problem is 'humour' - all nationalities have very different senses of humour and this is very apparent in this thread. The British tend to a sense of the ridiculous and self deprecation and this can come across very badly. In fact almost every dispute we have had on Beoworld has usually involved what is meant as humorous teasing, which is invariably meant in a friendly way but can appear very insulting. I apologise for any hurt caused and would urge anyone distressed by posts on this site to contact the moderating team.

Personally, I've always quite appreciated and gotten the UK sense of humor. The best example of Swedish humor I can think of is Ikea assembly instructions, at least I hope it's a sense of humor and not intrinsic sadism.
