ARE AUDIOPHILES OVERLY SENSITIVE BY NATURE?FEELINGS AND OPINIONS?

I have been an audiophile the last 20 years for the last 5 years I have worked with Infigo Audio as my industry affiliation.  It’s been my experience in business and audio conversations that there are 2 areas that are interesting. When giving opinions many audiophiles try to come off smarter than the people they are talking to. Also in conflict resolution if you have disagreements they are more willing to go to extremes. Has anyone else experienced this.  Some seem like they can tell you what to do? How to post etc. which to me is crazy. Most of us are 30, 40, 50, 60,70 plus.  Thoughts everyone?

If you see posters here, fighting back and forth, it would be easy to assume they are overly sensitive and, as such, helping to answer your question that audiophiles are indeed overly sensitive. But actually they are more like childish kids, who don’t care to just answer simple questions. They don’t mind disrupting a forum with rude and mindless blabbering.

If you think of HiFi as a hobby, you'll see the same actors in every hobby pursuit.

I’ve only been in this hobby for a few years so I am not able to give advice on very many things and I know trying to give advice on something I don’t know about just makes me look like a fool. So I just mostly read and learn from everyone else. Happy listening !
