Why so many angry audiophiles?

I know I don’t have the technical knowledge or the experience with equipment of many on this forum, so it is easy for me to find threads that discuss something interesting to me.  I especially enjoy the postings of those who can take a highly technical subject and explain it in terms that the average person, like me, can understand.  

Of course, I notice the sparring here and took that as a duel of wits, but then obviously it gets testy at times.  I just skim over what doesn’t interest me, and I have sampled other audiophile forums for a frame of reference.  I still prefer coming here.

sojourn98,

Tell us how you really feel.

This thread is meant for that.

Anything that exhibits a high level of emotional involvement is bound to engender an elevated degree of conflict over choices made to enjoy such....

Vivaldi vs. Van Halen, and how to listen with what where when and why.  So much like sport fans, overlaid with more than just whose jersey one shoulders.... *S*
At least we don't sit in stadiums smeared with team colors wagging foam hands....or do we?

Tubes, or tragedy.  Solid States of sibilance. The A, A/B, D factions struggle over the possession of Truth and Beauty.

"VTA, VTA, all is involved in VTA!"....one can almost hear the chant of the section, while the digital division debates a retort...

Pretty damn funny, if one steps to one side of the crowds... ;)
All this, for bliss....truly transient, totally engrossing edification.

What a wonderful motley mess we is. (Hope your team 'wins'....*G*)

Enjoy your music by whatever means is meaningful to you.
'Nuff said....

Some interesting quotes from Einstein. 

"Hail to the man who went through life always helping others, knowing no fear, and to whom aggressiveness and resentment are alien."

"The only thing more dangerous than ignorance is arrogance."

"Stay away from negative people. They have a problem for every solution."

"I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university."

"I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am."

"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the Gods."

What does this have to do with the OP? Nothing, directly. But it does apply to a common occurrence found on these threads. If you've been on these threads for any length of time you will know exactly what this post is about. +1 to mapman and +1 to inna and +1 to any others who have shown compassion for others.

Perhaps because of my age I have recently developed a certain intense dislike for the over abundance of self-righteousness I perceive around me in social media as well  as another forms of media.  Regardless of the subject matter politics, religion, love, sexual inclinations, and yes speakers and cables,  ..I forgot the great dialectic about analog versus digital ,  it appears that this psychological malady is permeating our social fabric. Since I think it would be challenging to treat those individuals suffering from this malady, the best we can do is to treat its manifestation, so it does not infect the rest of us. How?  Since ego plays such important role in the attitude of the self-righteous a possible solution is the use of shame. Hence language is the tool, we should not stand indifferent or silent to any instance, but point out how laughable that utterance is, the intensity of the ridicule measured to the degree of stupidity of the  self-righteous manifested in its message, not only based on its content but as important in the tone of voice used to deliver it. 
I hope I am forgiven, it’s too early and I have not had my first cup of coffee.
