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

It is what it is. I read few things on here anymore and participate in significantly fewer. That being said, those Tekton fan boys have nothing on the TRL vs. APL Hifi fanboy threads. Those threads were legendary and make today's seem tame in comparison. Sort of like the part in the Godfather when they went to the mattresses. I lost count of how many threads got erased.
Every forum should have a restricted area for those members who just want to have an argument. If their behavior suggests that's all they want, their account access should be restricted to only that area for a prescribed period of time. I think that is the best way to handle people that don't want to be civil or stick to the subject at hand - sort of a modern day version of this:

It is the trolls. It is the trolls. It is the trolls. Read any thread with controversy, and these same ones keep popping up. Fuses, coupling / damping feet, power cords, etc. These trolls argue for wanting scientific explanation, or just total disbelief, and call it snake oil, but fail to try, and use their own ears. And they will keep coming back for more, and more, and more. They are closed minded to a few simple facts. We all listen differently, hear things differently, enjoy things differently ( audio stuff ), and it is not their money buying this stuff. So, why do they care ?

And, I suspect everyone knows which member this restricted area is most appropriate for. 🤣
