Are you a special snowflake?


We all know you're special. But special enough to be the Thought Police? What aspects of audio performance do you grant us the right to discuss? Why is it okay for you to insult, to call us shills, to call the things we value snake oil, ridicule and demean and broadcast your particular and peculiar points of view, but we don't have the right to argue the opposing view? 

Are you really a special snowflake? Or are you just another audiophile with a different point of view? No better, nor worse, than any other.

What is it you feel gives you the right to tell others Shut Up!?

Yeah, none have the right to do that but for some this is an intolerable situation so they do try. Why intolerable ? Well, this could be interesting to discuss, not sure here is the place, though.
Sometimes I tell myself to shut up and then I think - who the hell are you to say that ? That's fun.
Snowflakes should stay out of the kitchen if they know what’s good for them.
But please do educate us on “ mini Mao “. surely such experts have actually BEEN to China ? Worked there ? Built things there ? Exported from there ? Hired there?...and importantly for America, exported to China.

I am expecting crickets from Charlie and Oregon.....

When that person either posts or answers with an arrogance that the person knows everything and the other person does not.  Or, when every other answer to a post refers him or her to the persons system.  It gives me the feeling like that person is saying that theirs is right VS all the rest of us.  Another thing is when the poster has to post their conspiracy theories or reminds us that they love our President which brings politics into it.  .  

As for myself, I am guilty of getting involved in the Political atmosphere which gets me hyped up and then someone reports my post to a moderator.  Then I get more annoyed and have to keep it all in until the next time at which time I unload on someone.  Not healthy for me or any of us.  I will be the first to admit that I am extra jumpy right now due to the Covid-19 problem, but that is no excuse when I screw up and I should try harder.  I will try harder, how about the rest of us?
