Introspective of this forum: "Does the Audiophile Community Have a Promlem?" I Say yes!!!

I enjoy the rants and baiting.  It's like watching a soap opera with a stereo equipment theme.  The snarkier the better!

I certainly hope nobody is actually getting upset by this.  "Riled up" is fine, though. If you want to see an active toxic forum, you should go to one that discusses which city has the best pizza (New Haven, Connecticut, of course).

Current system:  Harbeth P3esr speakers, REL T/5 sub, Odyssey electronics, Technics SL1200 GR with Hana SL cartridge. Decent copper wires.  In my room, listening at my preferred volume levels, it's the best system I have ever heard!

If the intent here is to raise awareness in people who behave badly well, good luck with that--i've already seen in this thread that some of the worst offenders have no clue that this thread might just apply to them.  It would seem that arrogance is blind and perhaps these offenders really don't see themselves in that light--which means the problem will remain.

To a certain extent this, and other forums, represent the sentiment of the country/world and times--there's enough diversity here that you get all types.  In the six years i've been a member i've definitely seen the tone change for the worse but not extremely so--it's usually just a few prolific people--and sometimes, if you wade through the condescension, they actually have something to offer.  I'm kind of in agreement with those who think the problem is not really that serious.  I still enjoy reading the weekly summary and i know whose opinions i will value and those i will ignore--and it's not always the arrogant ones i ignore--as with any forum there's the good, the bad & the ugly so i don't take it that seriously.

Merry Christmas/(or if applicable Happy Hanukkah ) to all and Happy New Year

Somebody committed suicide because of what was said on this site,WTF... Really....

@kahlenz, the fierce debate is not over which city has the best pizza. Even New Yorkers and Chicagoans, if they're being honest, agree it's New Haven. The debate is about which ("apizza") place makes the best pie. 

For the record, I've had most of them and they're ALL amazing. Sally's, Pepe's, Modern, and so on. Heck, I even like Ernie's. Then we get to West Haven, North Haven (which has had some stellar places in the past), and beyond.... Now I'm hungry!

No, NO BODY committed anything because of what anybody said. Next it’s gonna be someone else’s fault for everything! Any one that takes their own life it’s their own choice. Plain and simple.. Pretty serious choice too. You only get to make it once. It’s always heartbreaking to lose someone, but sometimes it’s inevitable too.
