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 posted here recently....new user.  I was looking at purchasing a mint set of Dahlquist DQ 10s.  It was refreshing to see the amount of friendly advice and information I received from this forum.  Not a 'troll' or arrogant bonehead in the bunch!  I did buy them and they blew me away.  I'm not an audiophile but easily the best sounding speakers I've ever owned.
@glupson....yea, I scrolled through this thread.  Doesn't seem to be a good representation of the helpful posters who gave me advice.  Thanks!
@elizabeth ......I'm 63 and now you've insulted Seniors!  haha....  Just kidding of course.  I don't take anything I read on a forum serious.  Being a member of only two forums (this one and one for weed) makes it easy.  Oh, and FB.....but that's not really a 'forum' so to speak.  It's really just a disaster!  Interesting thread with an interesting bunch of personalities to say the least.
@geoffkait .....well, that's two of us at least.  I recalled them from  when I first heard of them in the late '70s.
Wow......never thought I'd initiate a speaker discussion.  My DQ were bought new by an electrical engineer.  He had moved into a retirement home and didn't have the room for them. I saw them on the FB marketplace...$375. He said they didn't get much use.  Woofers were re-foamed.  I think considering an electrical engineer bought them new, then that speaks for something.  Other than the re-foam, they are 100% stock.  As for me, they sound spectacular......now, I'll just keep on perusing this forum.  Great info.....most of it a little over my head.  But I've also learned a ton here!  Happy Trolling!
@celander ......"  I think considering an electrical engineer bought them new, then that speaks for something."  The words 'I think' means I'm expressing an opinion, not a fact.  I just felt that considering his profession, they probably weren't abused.  Looks like you've been on this forum for quite a while which would mean to me that your opinion is an educated one.  Me?  I'm just an old guy, a musician with a pretty good ear I think.  Saying 'So what' is kind of confrontational.....that you don't value another less educated persons opinion.  That's OK!  Curious though, what sold you on the DQs?
@glupson.......I shall find another thread to become interested in!  Thanks for the feedback.....
