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?

"responsible anarchy" is no more than utopianism at its worst. And all of the prominent, and intellectually honest, existentialists realized this pretty early on.

And you say:

Everybody does whatever they want, but not bother others along the way.

What you have done here is introduced a rule, i.e. don't bother others. Anarchy rejects rules, at least on the surface, because rules require enforcement and consequence. Enforcement of rules requires some form of authority. Anarchists reject authority. It is oxymoronic to say the least. To say otherwise is to be logically dishonest.

And if an anarchist is logically honest he needs to embrace anarchy and all the chaos, lawlessness and violence that goes with any philosophy bereft of any basis for proper behavior.

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.

Yes, well, that may be. But it becomes relative when compared to the majority of the world's population, much less those of us enjoying esoteric philosophical conversations on a web site in which there is currently a set of speakers for sale for nearly half a million dollars.

True. true. and true.

However, I placed "responsible" into "responsible anarchy" as an equally important word as anarchy. "Anarchy" itself, in a sense, points to the direction and would not be anarchy in the full meaning that is accepted these days. "Responsible anarchy" should be one word except that I cannot come up with a word. If it worked, there would be no need for enforcement or consequences. Utopian for sure. Humans are not fit for it, I think.

When it comes to government/ruling, times of Maria Theresa’s rule were one possible example of tight control that improved lives of many and has done it for centuries after her death. Dictatorship that takes good care of those dictated. It is an interesting reading for some spare time.


Now, I am off to looking for those speakers mentioned.

Those speakers are a steal. It seems that you do not need to buy an amplifier. There, you save another half a million.
