Can't we all just get along?


I have not been a member for a very long time, and joined Agon to discuss audio with others in my hobby. Seems to me that almost every post devolves into a hijacked  negative argument between a few members that seem to think it's their platform to preach their opinions to any who would listen, and any dissent to what they have to say is met with ridicule/insults, and just downright rudeness.

There will always be differences in opinion, BUT, we can be civilized in how we disagree.

There is already too much negativity in the world. Is it not possible to insulate that from our hobby in this forum, or is this what we have become? Hiding behind our keyboards and not having the courtesy to treat our fellow audio lovers with decency, open-mindedness, and RESPECT !

It's been pleasant....and an education of sorts...

Later and Elsewhere, ya'll....;)
crazyeddie, sounds like (IMHO) on the 'plane event day', after That series of episodes, I'd have called it 'A Day' and tried to go home without any further excitement.   And made sure that any 'cold one' ( or more...) was in aluminum instead of glass.... ;) *G*

blindjim....Retaliate...clotheslines.  *G*  'Course, with crackheads and junkies around, you might have to engage in some 'creative interior decoration'....  Perhaps a new 'take' on 'acoustic modeling'?

"Hanes cotton segmented acoustic panels'....staggered arrays....;)

Sorry....couldn't resist....*G*

I have a personal tendency to try to find some humour 'midst what seems to me to be a more 'relaxed' forum, as noted 'above'....  There's enough 'serious things' happening about us already,  I try to make my 'audio experience'  a Hobby, even a form of Escape....not a Religion...

I have my opinions, Sure.  They may/may not agree with yours,  That's quite normal and pretty much expected with any subject.  If some enjoy 'discussing' the fine points of  cable X v. cable Z to however many pages one who care to carry it on to...well, cool, have at it....

I hang around here to see what other's are thinking, what's 'hot' or not, learn what To or Not Do, and generally try to have a pleasant time.  Toss out a comment or quip, try to 'seem intelligent', keep the 'soapbox time'  to a tolerable minimum, and remember PEBKAC.

Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair.

...that hasn't, nor will, ever change....;) 



Blindjim....*VBS*  If it wasn't for my sense of humour, Life (...what a Concept...*phew*...) as I've experienced It overall for the past 66 orbits, may not have gone on as long as it has....;)

I don't aircraft tumbling into the weeds next door, granted.  But, when all is said/done....Exciting, wasn't it? *G*  Being lucky, the pilot and YOU...frosting on the cake....and it took some of the edge off the balance of a dismal day...*nudge*G*

"Do we Always have to speak of 'things Audio' Constantly?"

Only if we devolve into 'audio as religion'....acolytes attending altars arranged accurately as absolutely attainable....

The unwashed NOT INVITED....Philistines....

Do Not Laugh.  SILENCE....until the cartridge....descends.....

...sounds a little dismal...gadget worship, applied to cars and other of such...

The pursuit of ones' goals and desires, OK.   You have yours, I have mine, he/she/'they' have...well, theirs....*G*

...but if we can't laugh at it, find something amusing in the abstract about the Big Stuff or the 'fiddly bits', share that to some degree...

...it's gotten too dour IMHO.... and color me gone. ;)
