2022 is almost here. Why are you here?


So why are you here?

No why are you on this forum?

Is it to discuss music?

Is it to discuss equipment and how to optimize your system?

Is it to meet new people and share ideas and well yes opinions?

I know those are the reasons I came to this forum. My favorite section is “What’s on your turntable tonight”. I also enjoy sharing my experiences in audio and well life so far.

Things I do not care for but come in an ecosystem like this are:

Posts that get hijacked.

People who politicize a post and everything is a right wing, or an alt left conspiracy.

Dealers that post to hawk their wares and services.

Boisterous bloviating blowhards’ that everything they do, own, and think is the best and you are schitt.

Personal attacks (I am guilty and will admit it)

I am right and you can not prove me wrong, so I am right. Tweaks are BS show me the DATA. Condemnation of a tweak or performance upgrade formulated on opinion, not science or trial and error.

There are a few only a few that are here just to be disrupters that pounce on posts by certain individuals looking for the opportunity to make them look the fool or extremist. So, it all goes back to the original question.

Why are you here?

I despise New Years resolutions and I am not going to make one here for 2022. I will say that if a post gets flushed down the political crapper I will move on. If the zoomer’s (thanks nonoise for that phrase) hit the thread, then the thread is dead to me. 

My goal in 2022 is to avoid conflict unless it is on the ice.

Love to hear form you all and Happy New Year!

Guess you are getting final forum shots in the last few days of 2021 under the thread

"2022 Audio System Wish List & Thoughts About Streaming"

Good call. I see you know our boy who needs constant adulation as seen by his chosen icon.

@nonoise

At times, it’s necessary to do the role of parenting and call out the miscreants who mean to turn this site into their personal playground. This is a community site and no one’s safe space to release their spite and hate filled thoughts that they’ve developed and nurtured on some other dark and silly place.

Just don’t say anything about "poor people" and don’t offer to apologize if he proves your assertions to be wrong. He’ll run to mommy.

My question is why is he here?

 

 

@artemus_5 Give you that.

Have a great evening.

All the best.

BTW that is Patrick Kane the greatest American Born hockey player ever.

 

 

I come with curiosity about those who seem more interested in gear than music.  Entertaining in a perverse way I suppose.
