Can't we all just get along?


I have not been a member for a very long time, and joined Agon to discuss audio with others in my hobby. Seems to me that almost every post devolves into a hijacked  negative argument between a few members that seem to think it's their platform to preach their opinions to any who would listen, and any dissent to what they have to say is met with ridicule/insults, and just downright rudeness.

There will always be differences in opinion, BUT, we can be civilized in how we disagree.

There is already too much negativity in the world. Is it not possible to insulate that from our hobby in this forum, or is this what we have become? Hiding behind our keyboards and not having the courtesy to treat our fellow audio lovers with decency, open-mindedness, and RESPECT !

My wisdom is quite simple: never get personal (only technical), never argue opinions (quote only facts) and never assume that absence of an experience is equal to the absence of a fact. Oh, and, above all, live happily without being affected by personality problems other people exibit during every type of human gathering. As for deleted threads, rephrase and repost the topic but never expect people understand your intention just because you think it's good.

the problem with any listening in a sighted test is confirmation bias
That's simply silly. For example, there are many instances where the listener in a sighted test expected no improvement at all, or expected the result to be a detriment to sound quality, and yet the result was an apparent improvement. Clearly, that kind of result can't be dismissed with a wave of the hand and the tired old claim of "confirmation bias."
