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?

mapman,

That is what I was hoping for. However, I am afraid geoffkait would trash the thread in his honor, too.

What is actually needed is some sort of basic audio thread, you know for non audiophiles and newbies, clean slates, that sort of thing. One gets rarher tired of the mundane, what about this? what about that? routine. Yes, I realize this isn’t supposed to be the faculty at Harvard. But does it have to be so much like Revenge of the Nerds? But Whack a mole is OK by me.

People with no answers do get tired of clear and, often, simple questions. In fact, I noticed that posters on Audiogon do not like having their posts read carefully and then having questions asked about them. It is, all too often, a one-way communication.

Simple question: Should I buy it? or NOT buy it? So far waffling has gotten me to the brink. But can it push me OVER the brink into actually buying? It sure would look pretty on my audio shelf. Even though I don't need it.. I want it..And NO you cannot ask what it is. Suffice to say it clearly is some sort of audio related gizmo.
