@jayctoy thank you for initiating this thread.

As someone who's been on this forum since it began almost 20 years ago, I've noticed a lot of the recent conversation to have degraded significantly.  Call out whatever thread you will as an example, it's valid.

What I'm struggling with personally is living my entire life a staunch defender of free speech and the exchange of ideas even to the point of argument now in conflict with the same folks (and they are on BOTH sides of the fence) showing up again and again and again and again to truly ruin this environment for everyone while adding almost nothing to the discussions

This thread will benefit all of us to remind how far we became too comfortable with each other expressing our experience on cables, dacs, amps, preamps, tweaks and more, I still believe there are many good members in this site, Some of the members here, I met them personally, like Doug Schroeder extremely nice person, tommorow I will meet Bube (Vinh) at Axpona, I agree at the end of the day it’s just stereo, My experience , members here are much nicer in person, let’s just continue to enjoy this site and respect each other, Gdhal, Trelja, thank you, this thread is for. All of us to remind ourself , How old timer did respect each other here, and they were able to communicate their audio experience with us.

@kosst_amogan....Was not you I was referring to, but you were in " that " camp.

Go to any forum;  football ,firearms, Harleys.....basically all the same.  People argue, some more adamantly than others.  You will always find the know it all, the cliques and the noobies.  I think it is just the nature of the beast.

Sports and political forums might be the worst offenders in this regard.  I've mostly thought of Audiogon as one of the more civil.  I try to behave well on this site but I know I have lost it from time to time.  Threads like this should help IMO.
