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's not the trolls or self-proclaimed ultimate experts. It is those of us who respond to them. I've been guilty on a few occasions. (Maybe I am right now?) I'm not sure that if we ignore them they'll go away; but it would go a long way toward keeping a thread going in a productive direction. For every troll there seem to be 2 or 3 anti-trolls who may be well intentioned; but are muddying the waters as much as the troll.

No. Not you. Close though, if you get my drift 😃

Sorry, 2channel, I couldn’t resist. But I do agree with you 100%.
We don’t want to be like the snowflakes of the post-millennial generation, who prefer to ban speakers from campus who might hurt their feelings with different ideas.  I sometimes worry about thd future of our most important right, the first amendment. 
    There are quite a few trolls and other fools here whose posts I immediately skip.  You learn who they are pretty quickly.  I don’t know why they bother, much less how they find the time and energy.  On the other hand, they are fair game for uncensored responses.
      I assume some here merely deploy a sense of humor with impunity.   If someone defends a Macina Dynamica product, are they joking? 
   why would anyone bother to read a thread like, “cables make no difference” or “fuses make a huge difference”, much less the endless varieties of  “tubes vs solid state” ?  Only if you enjoy the fracas for its own sake.
