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.

I tried to never forget the simple words that my father said to me. "Consider the source." It isn't to be taken in a negative as is often implied, but rather to think about what has been said, by who, and why. It helps me almost daily.

@jerryg123, Do you think you are Tazio Nuvolari? If your Alpha is running today it won't be tomorrow. You buy Italian cars if you want to look at them. You buy German cars if you want to drive them. Besides every serious 2 wheel person I know pedals and they all want a 911. They have no idea who Tazio Nuvolari was. Tazio won the greatest Grand Prix race of all time, the 1935 German Grand Prix in an old underpowered Alpha FROM BEHIND! Mussolini elbowed Hitler about it for years.  Sterling Moss was the greatest driver to never win a world title. Tazio is probably the greatest driver of all time that nobody knows about. He was only 5'3" tall and could barely see over the dash.

@mijostyn LOL I have Italian (Aprilia) and German motorcycles. Also just picked up a Triumph Speed Triple but we all know that is truly a Japanese bike.

Really have my eye on a KTM too.
