Please Read and express your feelings and opinions....


I noticed  that lately or maybe for the last five yrs, there is so much arguments,name calling, attacking cables , speakers , components makers and more, more of disagreement with members, even Audio dealers are being attack here...Very few know how to apologize when they are wrong.What can we do as Audiogon members to improve our communication to each other? How to give the informations, recommendation to members who need it? This is without involving Audiogon, any opinion or ideas ,  For me this is fun and place to learn in audio...thank you all

There was a thread started here a while ago, I think it was " what about horns ", and the fun began. I jumped in, talking about why dynamics of a sound system is high on my priority list, and another came on and made the statement " I loathe horns ". I have to admit, I was seduced into the bantering that was about to take place. Turns out I owned the same speakers as this individual, with a superior ss amp that he owned ( imo ), and know first hand that dynamics was not a virtue of his system ( I admitted to other virtues he was enjoying ). It was boys against boys, looking for our manhood. Although us horn lovers felt he, and a few others, were trolls, the posting was an invite for everyone. The point of all this : bring it on........it is all part of our journey.
I like to believe that courtesy begets courtesy.  That's why I let other drivers move in front of me when merging and stuff like that.  It's my contribution to the common good.  
I too have found that we as a group seem more intolerant now than 10 years ago.  What truly irks me is the Tekton fanboys.  There are at least 4 different threads going on about Tekton and it's all the same BS.  I don't read them any longer.
I too have noticed less tolerance for different opinions now than say 10 years ago. The change in tone coupled with the same subjects being beaten to death week after week makes me less interested in checking the Agon forums these days. I still glance at them every week or two but I don’t follow the threads like I used to.
@cj1965, I have a Mac and I just click and drag to highlight the word or section desired and right click to get down to "fonts" and chose italics.
For some reason, bold and underline doesn't work for me even though it's an option so I'm content to just use italics.

All the best,
