I've been feeling that way for a while myself.Another thing Jerry, take a look at the amount of posts someone makes and on what type of thread. Some people have simply been here too long. They've become internet audio forum institutionalized. Once you've been a few rounds with those folks you either learn how to smile, understanding their stay is not about audio or music, or you get pulled into the drama only taking away from your own personal listening.
One last thing, don't be shy about taking a breather from this place to shake off the bad vibes. I can usually stand it here about a month then a break is a welcome sight and sound.
There are other instances of the use of the word institutionalized that comes to mind. 😄
All the best,
