why do so many discussions turn contentious?

While this posts focuses on the negative aspects of this forum which I admit are many, the overall benefits it can provide greatly outweigh all the weird, random vile stuff inserted.

Here is my example @jjss49 system photo shows a DAC I'm really interested in.  His response was to check his posts when I asked him about it.  Checking his posts he actually talks about my current DAC.  @jss49 is a goldmine and all I have to do is click his name and read his posts.

Here is a person who understands the hobby and has direct knowledge about the questions that I'm interested in.  Where else can someone get that hands on experience regarding HIFI regarding my specific questions and maybe if I haven't alienated him be able to  provide even more detail upon request.

So if for no other reason than your own benefit turn down the rancor as the person you just flamed may be the person that could actually help you the most.

@mozartfan talks a good game on objective measures. Please provide 4 for your “ reference “ wideband system; On axis frequency response, Impulse response, waterfall plot, and the laser scan of the driver showing breakup modes. A mere $500 for the latter in Germany. Giving you a pass on phase angle and impedance vs. frequency.

I like how this post is about admonishing contentious behavior and a few people already have fallen in to it. Outstanding.
