Why so many angry audiophiles?

Agreed! Get off merry go round and just enjoy what you have. That's what this hobby is about in the first place. The holly grail is unobtainable. 

Absolutely!!! 100% agree with this post. Music (even without concerts) will get us through these dark days. 

"I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE"

Perhaps angry folks are just afraid to adjust their paradigm to the changing times. Change is frightening (to some).
'If you can't see my point, or believe how I do, you're an idiot'
There are as many roads back home as there are travelers.
I gotta say, I'm the consistently happiest person I know. I just let people be who their gunna be. Allowance.

I try to speak to others as I would like to be spoken to.

The tough lesson is understanding "the more you do it, the more likely you will continue to do it".  You practice good behavior, you will be treated in kind.. "Turn the other cheek" is good for ONE turn. There is NO "S" on cheek. 

When empathy and mutual respect are left out of the conversation, it's not a conversation it is a LECTURE. 

I see that as a HUGE problem.. When the person that's posing the question is just looking for others input. If we can't look back and see good, in our answer, it's best to just erase it.. If you can't offer and honest answer without insult, BE QUIET.

I'm one happy fellow, BUT I find animals a lot more truthful the older I get...THUS I stay happy. I care for them and  they care for me... 
AND the Good GOOD Lord takes care of both of us.  Good health, and a safe and secure family goes a long way for this old Dad, too..
