Honestly @arcticdeth are you suggesting that we embrace a platform of obnoxious, mean-spirited, sarcastically hateful banter and a thick skin is the premise of being able to thrive here? Wow...what ever happened to a friendly exchange of ideas, experiences, and learning? If that's the framework for this place then I'm out.
why do so many discussions turn contentious?
just venting....why do so many discussion posts need to turn contenious and nasty? do you guys find that constructive and/or enjoyable? I have no clue who or how this forum is moderated, but I sure would love to see a stop to that...it makes me feel like this hobby is dominated by total jerks.
Can't we play nice, share OPINIONS and OBSERVATIONS, realizing that they often are subjective and biased.
"if you dont have anything nice to say, say nothing"? If you wish to disagree, do it in a constructive and mature fashion, no need for "argument ad hominem"...
with all the chaff, one must waste so much time finding the wheat, figuratively speaking.
I doubt my writing this will change anything, but, like most social media, people writing to others without facing them does not bring out the best, sadly......

@three_easy_payments @jw944ts @nonoise the other, rather interesting (if not unexpected) consequence of this thread is that the worst offenders are in effect ’self identifying’ right here... some great advice has been given here, the best of which is simply ’ignore the trolls’ -- what they seek, sadly, is to call attention to themselves and get a rise... @danager 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. ha ha i didn’t take earlier your comment as offensive, just in jest... as you may know, we have a bad drought here in california, my lawn is mostly pebbles and gravel at this point, so one day, i may come sit on yours and have a cold one to enjoy ... 😄😄 happy to answer any additional q’s you may have the dacs, i just asked you to search out my prior posts on the topic so i wouldn’t need to repeat that info, which i took some time and care to write - feel free to pm me |
" Honestly @arcticdeth are you suggesting that we embrace a platform of obnoxious," @ three_easy_payments I don't think that's what arctic is saying. Speaking under correction, I think he was responding to the post prior to his. |
