Arguments devolve on threads to wordsmithing contests


Why is it that so many well-intentioned threads devolve into wordsmithing contests? Is it necessary to argue about the meaning of posts when the language thereof is reasonably clear on its face?

Awesome!, A thread that everyone is in agreement, my vote is cast as best thread ever!
"You say you want a devolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world"
I don't know how to answer this. I thought argument was the point of this site??

:D


Best,

why are you here?

I want to complain!

sorry, this is Getting hit on the Head lessons. Complaining is next door.
Most disagreements on HiFi forums are like the OK Corral gunfight of egos.  The posters pretend to argue their particular subject or cause but in reality they are imposing their 'superior' ego over the other and others who read the thread are like spectators in the Colleseum.
 It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key. - Winston Churchill. 
a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma is why Churchill drank a fifth every day.....and it wasn't Beethoven's

I think it is more like a candied scorpion. On still alive enough to sting your tongue while you're chewing it.                     
Or that great deal on an amplifier. The one where too late you discovered was a nesting place for Brown Recluse Spiders...       
Or that really nice chair you bought at St Vincent, turned out to be full of bedbugs, and now, since it was in your son's room, you have a houseful of bedbugs..The car has bedbugs, Your Parents have bedbugs, and everyone at his school has bedbugs.. Sadly you never heard of bedbugs before the teacher called and told you your son is a walking bedbug nest.... You wondered what all those marks were?
Uber, "five minute" as modifying "argument" is likely better as "five-minute." And "argument" has only 1 letter "e," while "full half hour" might be better as "one-half hour" ("full half" is the same as "half"). Lol

Reminds me of an article about reading comprehension wherein the author provided an example of a paragraph including misspellings of every word. No issues with reading it. Lol
I think we need to remind ourselves this is a forum for us all to learn by.  I am new to this hobby and have lots to learn.  I am grateful all of the discussions, as I have and continue to learn more about what makes sound as close to perfect as possible.  I think we also need to all realize that most of us are more involved with the quality of sound produced based on different equipment than the music itself.  I am sure guilty of this.  I appreciate the discussions and I hope no one will be intimidated to share their thoughts, right or wrong, in the future.

larry, I created this thread to divert commentary away from a different thread when things seem to get a bit testy. This thread has no other purpose than that.
I would imagine someone with dyslexia would appreciate some of the last few posts.
">>>>>>I believe the word is Colosseum"
I saw it first, but felt rebellious (for this thread) and resisted pointing it out.

These days, it is Colosseo, in fact. At least that is what it says there.

Is it LOL or Lol? Does it need a period after it or not? Here’s looking at ya celander. Does anyone here know? This new lingo is hard to be sure about.

Enjoyable thread, for sure. More to learn here than in many others.
