Put fun back into Hometheater+Music

@kgveteran 
This is an interesting post/thread. I agree that respecting each other is important. There should be more camaraderie here than exists. However it is a 2 way street as @oldhvymec has pointed out. And maybe people share in the wrong rooms too. IE, I go through the "recent" threads as listed above. It takes me to ALL the rooms/boards. So I end up in HT without knowing and answer a question from my 2 channel perspective. We're men and we can't say we were wrong. And apologizing is a sign of weakness (according to Gibbs. So we have disagreements which aren't settled quickly

Offer a suggestion, don't try so hard to know everything, don't try so hard to be right,

Ever think that maybe they might believe that you will learn why from the comment they made. Some people aren't real good at written conversation. I think much faster than I type and so maybe a little understanding of the potential causes is in order for you. BTW I'm not to big to apologize and I certainly don't care if anyone sees it. I know who I am. 

don't try so hard to know everything, don't try so hard to be right,

On to this tidbit I wish more people would try harder to get things right. Just look around you!. Just as Roger Waters has suggested, we have "Amused (Ourselves) To Death" to the point of near self destruction because we have listened to Your advice and NOT CARED about  right or wrong and how much of either were done. What you are seeing now is the natural outgrowth of what you have  prescribed. Is this what you expected? NO!! Then look around.
Best to you. You are a fair minded person. We agree on some things. But not caring about being right is not one of them

i am music delivery system agnostic. even media agnostic. only positive passion. i don't feel negative passion about anything regarding music.

by that i mean i like/love it all. i embrace 2 channel music of every format as it fits my circumstance, and multi-channel music and movies too.

if i was not fortunate enough to have separate 2-channel and Home Theater systems i would gladly combine them.

fun.....enjoyable home listening and watching.....is where you find it.

the only thing i am negative about is being negative. what a waste of bandwidth. some just have a minus default setting.

 thinking the is but one answer to  being “ right “ with the  illusion we seek to create with stereo or HT is the problem…..R. Waters, excepted of course….

Mike - nice to see your good attitude here, i am sorry i missed the gig you had recently……will pm, hopefully a rain check…

Your theory about Agon is also relevant viewed thru the lens  of emotional intelligence, or deficit…as it may be….

best to you.

One more positive thing about this place is i have bought used gear by caring owners since i joined up many years ago. This community cares a great deal about its equipment and caring for it, and relaying its condition accurately.

As always there are exceptions but i think they are few.

Thanx for encouraging the acknowledgement of “kindness is a better way.” 
And Hometheater is fun, it has its challenges and takes years to learn all the ins and outs :0) there is no “right” way, if there is a right way, and that means i now have licence to be mean spirited, then its the wrong way……..
