Please Read and express your feelings and opinions....

I noticed  that lately or maybe for the last five yrs, there is so much arguments,name calling, attacking cables , speakers , components makers and more, more of disagreement with members, even Audio dealers are being attack here...Very few know how to apologize when they are wrong.What can we do as Audiogon members to improve our communication to each other? How to give the informations, recommendation to members who need it? This is without involving Audiogon, any opinion or ideas ,  For me this is fun and place to learn in audio...thank you all

Also read the earlier thread "Missing the Forest for the Trees". Same element and sentiments.

We can all be civil, however this forum (AudioGon) is also where we discuss meaningful agendas like MQA (done to death but still alive). This one has the possibility of splitting the audiophile group down the middle and effect the way we receive music for the foreseeable future. This forum can have some power when we group to agree or disagree on OUR future means of enjoyment.

I have read so many technical papers on MQA, that I see no benefit in introducing another way of messing with the way music was meant to be heard. And some of us have spent considerable money on our equipment so we CAN hear music the way it is meant to be heard. Whether you have spent $5k or $500k, its as relevant because that's how much we can afford on our systems. I for one do not want my music messed with. I like it as I enjoy it - straight, black disk or silver. Why can't we have streamed music as we hear it on radios, be it AM, FM or DBA+. Why change it?

Sorry for taking this forum a different direction, but its important that as a group we can have a voice. We can individually share opinions or experiences on music or hardware or setup help, but the strength of a forum can be to be a voice that has strength to say NO to something.

I am retired, have metal for joints and spine fused. I also found out a month ago I have cancer. I can't do much but enjoy my music, and have a voice. I like my music as it is. I like reading what others say. I respect opinion. I don't want anyone messing it up. Heck, Governments mess up enough things! I can't fight them, except the way I vote. And you got Trump! Have shares in Twitter gone up?

Sorry about the diatribe...   time to turn the black disc over. :)

I recently asked about a dedicated audio room chair and received several good suggestions. 
No one gave any attitude about searching and several “threads” came up as already
asked questions for me to peruse through.

Society seems coarser today than ten years ago. Endless argument parades as universal entertainment, without the disciplines of logic, rhetoric and civility undergirding it. Unfortunately, many people think they are smarter than others, funnier than others, more important than others etc. I often describe it as people believing everything around them (life) is a movie and they are life's essential star; every person around them is of lesser importance. These folks treat others as unessential annoyances or worse. In reality, an equally valuable person resides on the other end of every forum message, text, call, email.... Kindness counts. It can be contagious...and it is in need of more adherents. BTW A'gon has some of the nicest people I've dealt with on the internet.
Peace

Well, I tend to think everyone has there right to an opinion, but they are just that someone's opinion. I have been parts of many different forums for many different types of things and it's always been that way, someone has an opinion, someone doesn't agree, and Walla conflict. This tends to happen here with cables topic quite often, I just say this. I can't hear with your ears and you can't hear with mine. So what sounds great to you might not sound good to me, we all have audible differences and it's better to just respect others opinions cause they have a rite to them just like I do.

Expressing my feelings re. "Walla" as in:

someone doesn’t agree, and Walla conflict.

That hurts. It really does.

Otherwise, love the post.
