Polite Rules for discussing Audio related things

  I will not. I might say that you appear to be unprepared yet to "truly embracing" it. You have no real contact with these things so far. You are just talking your talk.

How quickly it devolves into insults. I thought you were above that. I think you even said so in this discussion.

No, I am not "unprepared yet" to embrace it but I am fully prepared to reject the actual true implications of anarchy. 

I get the impression that present day anarchists exist, in the U.S. anyway, only because they know that the authority they hate will allow them to embrace an ideology they could not live with if that very same authority did not guarantee their freedom, safety and economic stability.

I agree. It would be boring if all the focus was on an original post topic, but, from time to time, I look at threads and get amused by how far from the topic itself they have strayed. Over time here, I have probably learned more about other things than I have about audio reproduction and I find it valuable, too.

The best government governs least or whatever.

"responsible anarchy" is no more than utopianism at its worst. And all of the prominent, and intellectually honest, existentialists realized this pretty early on.

And you say:

Everybody does whatever they want, but not bother others along the way.

What you have done here is introduced a rule, i.e. don't bother others. Anarchy rejects rules, at least on the surface, because rules require enforcement and consequence. Enforcement of rules requires some form of authority. Anarchists reject authority. It is oxymoronic to say the least. To say otherwise is to be logically dishonest.

And if an anarchist is logically honest he needs to embrace anarchy and all the chaos, lawlessness and violence that goes with any philosophy bereft of any basis for proper behavior.

Freedom, safety, economic stability. Hmmmm, that would be a hard sell to many more than just declared anarchists. Not saying that it is not true, but that many would disagree based on their surroundings and pocketbooks.

Yes, well, that may be. But it becomes relative when compared to the majority of the world's population, much less those of us enjoying esoteric philosophical conversations on a web site in which there is currently a set of speakers for sale for nearly half a million dollars.
