Dontcha realize that audiophile world is a nutshell full of propaganda and brainwash. When many folks here got used to brainwash and naive audiophile propaganda, they sometimes get offended when truth is spoken and that's normal, bcoz realizing foolishness or even more resisting learning is sometimes frustrating. After all, factually, it's made the way that smart will bully foolish and foolish may get sad here in Audiogon.
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 !
