Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?

@pindac great post. A long post but a great one.  It’s well thought out. You made a lot of great points. 

The internet is one of the most wondrous inventions ever.  It also gives a platform to every idiot on planet earth.  On forums like this, its just irritating.  The most dangerous thing is when world leaders who have control over entire countries and their nukes, start playing to the internet crowd.

Cheers

Civility, was it ever found?

@wturkey @rok2id i agree civility was lost a long time ago.  I actually quit posting on Audiogon about 4 years ago.  I left because it became less about sound and more about personal insults. Challenging people’s intelligence and integrity.  Stuff that people do on the internet but wouldn’t probably do face to face.  It kills the conversation where people can learn and or enjoy. 

“ I’m not going to let a guy tell me cable’s don’t affect the sound and not take him to task on it.”

Basic cables that are competently built are audibly transparent. Some cables, be it by accident or design will color the sound. If you want to “take me to task” on it feel free to do so. Let’s see if you can do so with the civility you so lament is missing on audio forums and with the respect you expect from others. I am more than happy to argue my position purely on verifiable objective facts.
