An anecdote:
I had only two real "heavy" discussions here for the last 7 years...
One i will pass over...No relation to audio matters...
But the second one was also with someone i disagree with and it was about audio matter... . Our discussion last 2 months daily here...
The man was a very knowledgeable man in audio, way more than most here, me included ( I know this for a fact trust me)...
But no one is perfect...
I realized discussing "heavily" with him that he was not right about something important in audio : the timbre perception...
To make a story short i am indebdted to him so much , i wrote to him to thank him at the end in spite of the "heavy" sometimes hard discussion, because without him i would had never made my most important personal discovery in acoustic/psycho-acoustic...
Then you will understand why i try to appreciate all people, even if i heavily disagree with some, and why discussion based on arguments are so important...
My search to answer him because his knowledge was more than mine in all audio aspects , teach me a lot... At the end i made my most important discovery and i am greatly thankful to him... And he was perceived as a "troll" and act sometimes like one and he provoked some reaction in me not always positive because i am not perfect either...
Imagine now that this dude has been banned from here or cancelled because some described him as a troll?
i will have never made my search in acoustic to answer him and i will had never made my discovery...
Than my most precious moment here were with someone i disagree completely about something...I thank him till today...
Our best adviser are sometimes some we call our foes...
I dont want censorship of any kind... Save restricting the amount of insults someone can give to another one for sure...Politeness and arguments only....
