RE: the question: ":Why do forum interactions become contentious". . .

I've just had a very unexpected and very unpleasant PM from a forum participant. 

He'd been suggesting I buy a certain component  and I told him politely that I didn't visualize that particular purchase fitting in with my long-range plans.  

His response was to accuse me of wasting everyone's time and to call me an "effing idiot" (except he spelled "effing" correctly). 

The great majority of interactions I've had here have been very enjoyable and recent input from
more experienced forum members has helped greatly in clarifying my plan for the next upgrade cycle. 

The thread on lesser-know Jazz has been great-- lots of participation and lots of terrific suggestions. 

Nevertheless, I've decided to take a break. 

Best regards,

Stuartk

I kinda like Mike Tyson's maxim:
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

I wonder if he read the Bible or attended Sunday sermons.
He was a quick study in the ring.

All the best,

So many references to a non existent diet. Same people who buy expensive power cords and cables perhaps.

simple:  Ego

Everything seems to boil down to a "measuring contest"  It's not how big the system is, but how well it works and how much you get to use it ...haha
