Can I make a suggestion. Sometimes it’s good to take a step out of internet forums for a few days and take a breath then come back in. When an internet forum becomes so much a part of your life that you start policing it maybe it’s time to step outside and take a breather.
The audio industry is changing and has been for a while. As well the late 90’s-late 2010’s generation of HEA is coming to it’s end game in many ways (the overbuilt over priced hobby). The new school is replacing the old and the old school (pre late 90’s) is having fun enjoying itself. There’s nothing about this hobby that is worth being abusive toward other members. That’s an issue for the forum owners to address.
I personally don’t read a lot of the threads here, but when I do happen across one that is an obvious flame I usually pass, because I don’t see the benefit or maturity in bashing. When I do see a basher the first thing that comes into my mind is "there’s a very sad person, someone who is certainly not a real listener". Real listeners are not unhappy people and if they are they usually keep to themselves. The folks you see disruptive on internet forums are not the real deal, never have been and never will be. Keep in mind that flamers can’t stand real folks and will do anything they can get away with to hurt others. Others of these folks honestly simply don’t have any other life of their own and these too are easy to spot after you are here a while.
