I prefer to avoid the personality part but like most... have to deal with it in recognition of what may be going on in the given case. Nor do my comments have meaning in that area, ie subtle jabs or whatnot. Which creates trouble as people sometimes think they are in the text.
But we are talking about music, which generally cannot successfully be done coldly, no matter how one might try. I tend to prefer to not truly aim for scientific coolness, but to be aware. Contradiction? Possibly. Human? Yes.
In related topics, I stopped cold a just opened thread on another forum (a few days back)... a soon to be tidal wave of rants against oddities and 'charlatans' in audio. It would have went on for another 2-20 pages, with you as the opening rants - whipping boy centerpiece. Stopping it was harmful to my personal and company reputation, as some of those might be potential customers. No matter how well I may have posted, someone would (and will) take it negatively, and run with it.
