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.

It’s a bunch of whining and puffery waiting for a place to happen, nothing to do with the subject. There are punks in all hobbies.

Just the other day, somebody belittled another person’s system. What a goofus.

 

 

“ Post removed, in minutes, no reason given even when I asked. I let them know thanks but no thanks I am gone from this group. Never have gone back. Refuse to contribute.“

 

I imagine that they are devastated that they ‘Lost’ you 🤣

I wasn't just removed, I can't even see the forum anymore. What is that, blocked?

@travelinjack, I’m sure you know that the one topic we have to avoid completely if we want to maintain civility on this forum is politics. If you don’t know that, I suggest you lurk a while until you learn the ropes.

It’s actually, historically, the other way ’round.

When the forum has political threads..peace tends to break out.  Denizens are more respectful and more open to other’s opinions.

Audio seems to be infinitely more contentious than politics.

funny, dat....

Our previous president was criticized for being crass and crude. His admirers loved and said that is how they knew he was "real" and they could trust him to tell it like it is.

Apologies for touching upon politics, as it should not be part of this forum. But this is 100% true. That’s when suddenly rudeness, being crass, crude, and impolite, became mainstream and the norm. Let’s face it. Leadership has an impact. Even if just in subconscious behaviors.
