The Audiophile Community Has a Problem: Part Deux The Saga Continues?


My original post was just to provoke some thought and to share an interesting article.

Some may have took it personal, your right to do so.

Others had an opinion and that was the idea, here is part 2 .

No comments about Sin as we are all guilty of being a part of the male anatomy from time to time (Pot meet kettle).

Hope this gets us all thinking and conversation continues.

Read the articles.

We need to be polite. Yes, audio breeds strong opinions, but that doesn’t give us the excuse to be rude or snide. One can disagree without argument and even suggest reasons why they disagree without becoming unpleasant.

Do you argue like this with co-workers when you disagree with something at work?

I can suggest a good therapist if that’s the case.

I have observed a broad lack of civility on social media, keyboard warriors and trolls (often posting with pseudonyms) who are rude and aggressive beyond belief over even benign comments. I just left that audio site which does all the measurements, after posting what I thought was a benign observations and then got slammed by multiple people. I messaged the admins to delete my account, and now I will just lurk.

It certain isn’t limited to the audio community. I see it everywhere I go online. I will go after people on Twitter like vile politicians (eg, Lauren Boebert) who are trolls themselves. I can be quite disparaging, but I do it in my own name. Sue me! 😂

Who?

Like it matters but if you feel good then scratch it.

What about the one from MN? Omar...

I still say it's the pursuit of celebrity, which is a fool's errand. We need to stop trying to put lipstick on a pig by sugar coating it so we can be comfortable with it. That link I provided in the original thread kinda spelled it all out. 

Audio forums are not immune to what befalls every other medium out there. We are not above it and some exploit it at nauseating levels. 

All the best,

What do you hope to accomplish jerryg123? Do you really think anything is going to change at this point? Why not do what many of us do and just ignore threads that we find unpleasant? No offense intended, but I just think that all of this talk leads to nothing constructive.
