Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?


I think we have.  I have seen many discussion on audio forums and how nasty they can become when you have people disagreeing. Seems like there are a lot more know it alls now. I been in 20 years and I can still learn.  But I also know I know quite a bit. Like cables can enhance the sound and higher end well designed gear can truly be ear candy special.  Is this just on audio forums or the internet period.

“Slippery and very unscientific…. a peer would answer the question….but i will help you…..

How are you going to decide your effort = SOTA ?”

The invite was for you or Calvin or anyone else to come over and listen for yourselves and decide for yourselves using whatever criteria any of you want to use. How is that “slippery?”

All this ranting about how I try to dictate how other people listen. I offer the most open ended unconditional audition of my personal system in my home and that is some how “slippery?”

Well he keeps trying to give the wrong answer to the question we already have the right answer to!  Jeez!

Just answer the direct ? how will YOU decide ? …… i get you are hiding behind the invitation…. but first… invite yourself 

you should pay more attention to the words you choose “ i expect the results to be SOTA “…. just who is the “ I “….in your post…..

You made the box you find yourself in….. 

But i leave you a respectful way out….just explain a few things like SOTA and by  what means congruent and conforming to your stated beliefs you will establish improvement across a simultaneous multi variable change ( the room )….
