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?

The last two posts can be forgiven. They’re new here and haven’t learned how the system works.

The system works? Does it? Care to share some deep insight?

I am an anarchist and defend freedom of expression. This doesn't mean direct purposeful insults, I would not object but would not support it.
I agree, people did not get uglier, they have always been ugly enough but not only.
Manufacturers and dealers participating here are in fact mostly beggars. Their choice, though.
Differences in perceptions and processing of sound are interesting to discuss. Still, there is a number of people who simply can't hear well, I would point it to them but would not dismiss them.

The "system" is a shambles imho.
I think a lot of it is caused by today's interconnected everything where everyone thinks they a keyboard warrior and can post what they like hiding behind a user name.
Its not just here it is rampant in every walk of life now.
Just becomes more obvious especially with very little policing done.
But its a free forum, some would say free for all nowadays, its hard to expect anything better now.
A real shame as I have learned a lot from here and saved a lot of money by NOT buying the wrong thing.
