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 am an anarchist and defend freedom of expression. This doesn't mean direct purposeful insults, I would not object but would not support it.
I agree, people did not get uglier, they have always been ugly enough but not only.
Manufacturers and dealers participating here are in fact mostly beggars. Their choice, though.
Differences in perceptions and processing of sound are interesting to discuss. Still, there is a number of people who simply can't hear well, I would point it to them but would not dismiss them.
n80, it is very difficult to be an anarchist without being a barbarian. The philosophy underlying anarchism is complex and not without conflicts and contradictions.
Besides, just because one has the right does not mean that the one should exercise this right without taking into account other considerations. The balance is hard to achieve, it takes years of work and practice.
And another thought. In many ways rules are designed to be broken.
Let me add that strong and real anarchist trait allows a person to achieve high degree of authenticity and individuality without the need of resorting to primitive and often aggressive narcissism. Achieve both subjective sense and objectively.
Elizabeth, I appreciate both your gibberish and ignorant post and your wish to talk to me. Thank you.
As for the English language, do you speak Aramaic or Middle Persian, perhaps ? 
Why not discuss it in this forum, without going into details? Anarchism is part of me but not the whole of me. In fact, I am more interested in the roots and the process of formation of belief systems than belief systems themselves.
Well, as devoted ’professional’ anarchists might say - anarchy is mother of the order. Must be interpreted creatively, of course.
Aramaic and Middle Persian was mostly a metaphor on my part, though I regret that I don't speak any ancient language. I imagine some people who lived thousands years ago discussed exactly the same as we do. Things don't change, in this respect.
I do see a jump in the level of uptightness and delinquency lately, this is not in a sense of being " a little off " as Whart put it.
Nietzsche was very insightful until became completely mentally ill.
How about this ? Pardon my translation, I read him in another language.
- Push the one who is falling -
 
My initial interpretation could be - They are the one in life and death -
If someone needs a moderator he/she should not say we. I have no need for this, as far as I know. In other words, who is anyone to define what I need or have to ?
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.
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.

Yeah, let us pray and try to make utopia the reality. "Responsible anarchy" sounds good, very good.
So, Elizabeth, you want me to take over as an OP ? I can't do it, and even if I could I wouldn't. Hold your ground and maintain course instead of abandoning the ship, for that you do have the power.
This ship is not sinking but it can sink.
Do they follow us ? Into our audiophile footsteps. I wouldn't think so, I'd say.
uberwaltz, just because one fears death one does not commit suicide. In reality, often does. One should not.
If we start kicking some out soon enough everyone will be kicked out or leave.
You see, you say you would like to hide the fact that you are a woman. That would be a deception, no good. Don't expect any respect if you do that, certainly not from me.
Your writing style is unmistakably feminine, by the way, and that is good.
