Why discussions generate into personal affronts...

Hello to all... I am a new-be in comparison to those who have thousands of inputs into forums/discussions.

I find it disappointing that in reading inputs, I have to waste time in members sniping at each other. Half the time it simply is a difference in opinion that breaks down into nasty idiocy,  and half the time I need some type of reference to past verbal battles fought about in other topics/forums. 

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO IMHO? Many times spewing personal dogma against each other just confuses simple people like me who are just looking for guidance - not miracles. We all view another's opinion with reservation - nobody's got a doctorate on audiophile experience; if I was to listen to and obey the professionals, I would never had experimented with 12g solid core copper, vinyl-jacketed wire, twisted and used bare wire no connectors -WHICH I AM VERY HAPPY WITH ...

SO: SOMEBODY fill me in why knowledgeable people generate into nastiness in discussions...

We are giving advice for free, we don’t charge a consulting fee for all this knowledge, in fact its the sparring and blatant rudeness that pays US back in spades! :-)

Sometimes it’s simply a case of Newton’s third law of motion - when a body exerts a force on another body it produces an equal and opposite force.

Most of the fireworks seems to occur in threads where one group fervently believes in tangible, significant, sonic improvements resulting from some change in their audio system that is ancillary to the main components or speakers, such as a wire, fuse, connector, or tweak, while the opposing group just as fervently believes any perceived improvements are imagined and are not supported by science, or that any sonic differences are so slight as to be insignificant.  The other answer of course is that those involved have nothing better to do at the time.
