Introspective of this forum: "Does the Audiophile Community Have a Promlem?" I Say yes!!!
This article is so insightful to this forum and the toxicity in the community. (My Opinion)
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone?
I know I have contributed to the toxicity here and will try to be a better citizen. Hopefully some will read this and see they are part of the problem (LOL)
Some will not and continue to play their roll as the Toxic Avenger.

There is a particular board on a specific forum that was hidden from the outside world because of how horrible it was. Where personal politics and racism was the norm 24-7 and one member even committed suicide after months of abuse. We watched him fight with other members on a daily basis and get a lot of heat back. He was fine most of the time when dealing with him on a individual basis but then he descended into some really horrible commentaries about race and certain countries and he went down the rabbit hole into some dark places.
Websites like ASR hold zero interest for me because a lot of the users are just there to be “right” and make others feel very small because their views don’t align with certain points of view.
@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. Regards |
@northman You are what is wrong with Pizza in the world. Chicago has the best pizza in the US. Going to North Haven for pizza is like traveling to Toronto for Mexican. Or RSA for Chinese. I am a PIZZABOT (not really I do not eat it anymore) |
@larsman Just being a homer as I do not eat pizza at all anymore. Liked it all when I was younger. I do not eat bread, chips, fried foods or processed crap. Max of 2 gs of sugar a day from protein bars after a skate or run. You all can enjoy your clogged arteries and type 2 diabetes. BTW we do have thin crust in Chicago, Barnaby's in Arlington Heights and Schaumberg are awesome as was Giovanni's in Des Plains. I am a Hockey Bot. Merry Festivis. |
