Polite Rules for discussing Audio related things

The polite rules for discussing audio:
Folks post three types of messages:      
Questions ,about audio function, method, what to buy..  
Answers to other folks questions..  
And blogging. I bought this, I did this, here is my experience                        
Allow others to say and describe what they experience and hear.   Allow then to offer reasons without arguing.   If it is a blog, stop telling them what to do! They don't want you arguing, just wanted to say I did this.
Offer POSITIVE responses. If you disagree with them, do so in a polite and friendly way.        
Offer alternatives without aggressive language.And above all, stop tit for tat aggression. Turn the other cheek dudes, turn the other cheek.
What do you think would help create a friendly happy place to discuss audio?

Someone once told Richard Feynman cables make a big difference and Feynman laughed so hard milk squirted out of his nose.

Critical thinking requires energy. I for one don’t waste such energy on forum threads. Besides, I can’t overcome my bias inherent to much of my belief structure. Bias gets in the way of most critical thought as a means of protecting inner voice ego.

I've learned a lot on some forums, especially the ones that challenge my belief structure. In order to do that they have to be civil places. They are hard to find.

It is hard work to put your beliefs on trial. But that is the only real way to do it. Dig deep into the ideas that conflict with yours. If you can't support them then you change your beliefs. If you can you can then stand firm and defend them rather than just cling to them. I'm not even sure it is necessary, as Socrates suggested, but it certainly is liberating.

One of my favorite quotes:

"God is dead."

"Neitschze is dead."
    God

Someone said (@n80)...

Sometimes incivility can dissociate one’s bias from one’s belief, thereby liberating one to adopt a different belief. But civility rarely achieves this.
