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?

I think, n80 understood what I meant.
As for seemingly irrelevant or at best barely relevant discussions here, well, I would say that discussion itself and interactions matter and have intrinsic values. Concrete particular subject is less important, in my view.

  I will not. I might say that you appear to be unprepared yet to "truly embracing" it. You have no real contact with these things so far. You are just talking your talk.

How quickly it devolves into insults. I thought you were above that. I think you even said so in this discussion.

No, I am not "unprepared yet" to embrace it but I am fully prepared to reject the actual true implications of anarchy. 

I get the impression that present day anarchists exist, in the U.S. anyway, only because they know that the authority they hate will allow them to embrace an ideology they could not live with if that very same authority did not guarantee their freedom, safety and economic stability.

I agree. It would be boring if all the focus was on an original post topic, but, from time to time, I look at threads and get amused by how far from the topic itself they have strayed. Over time here, I have probably learned more about other things than I have about audio reproduction and I find it valuable, too.

Freedom, safety, economic stability. Hmmmm, that would be a hard sell to many more than just declared anarchists. Not saying that it is not true, but that many would disagree based on their surroundings and pocketbooks.


I am for "responsible anarchy". Everybody does whatever they want, but not bother others along the way. Unfortunately, it seems to be undoable with the set of humans roaming the Earth these days.
