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......

Unfortunately we now live a time of intolerance and aggression.
The anonymity of sites like Twitter and Reddit has emboldened the insecure and hateful cowards of the world. The bullied exact revenge on the world by bullying others. A truly sad state of affairs.

Reading through this discussion, I am surprised that Lous feels compelled to call out Vandersteen as a dumbed-down sound yet makes no reference to other speakers for hearing impaired, overly detailed, or any other tonal balance difference in the many speakers available. 
Mastering engineer Roy Haylee - Simon and Garfunkle; Joe Harley - Producer Blue Note Records and Capitol Music Group; and Shane Buettner, producer Intervention Records, would disagree they have dumbed down sound in their Vandersteen Model 7's where they make critical and final decisions on sound.

Does the sound have to be annoying to be accurate? 

Perhaps over-generalized statements like these are the reason we can't have helpful discussions on these forums.

As always, some getting off topic, some unnecessary and nasty name calling, some good observations , some repetitive. I can only hope my OP has caused thought and raised awareness…the question, itself, was rhetorical…..
