As Millercarbon stated too many people don’t know how to listen. That not only applies to music ,their stereos but others as well. When I go to a business meeting with people I am not too familiar with I watch to see who are the talkers and who are the listeners. When they do talk a large portion of the best ideas come from the listeners.
Unfortunately there are people who have not only lack listening skills they don’t even know how to communicate properly, they just rant . I like a good exchange of ideas and there are a lot of really knowledgeable people on this site that even though I might not agree with everything they state , I do listen.
