Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?


I think we have.  I have seen many discussion on audio forums and how nasty they can become when you have people disagreeing. Seems like there are a lot more know it alls now. I been in 20 years and I can still learn.  But I also know I know quite a bit. Like cables can enhance the sound and higher end well designed gear can truly be ear candy special.  Is this just on audio forums or the internet period.

So if you hear a difference with your basic cables compared to others out there, you won't believe your own ears until you find a way to measure it?

This guy has extreme confirmation bias, so it's unlikely he'd hear a difference:

I know, as much as it can be known that basic cables are audibly transparent ...

@wharfy i remember when that happened to you.  My daughter punched a hole in the cone of my Gato FM6 speaker when she was 2.  lol 😂 I lost my mind that day.  We had the biggest kid adult daddy daughter argument in the world that day. She won’t even go near my set up anymore. lol. But I agree I post a thread like this. I get people calling me a shill. Saying I’m hurting in sales etc.  look we let you try before you buy at INFIGO cables.  It’s crazy some of the disrespectful stuff people say. Like we are 5 year olds who can tell a difference in how smthg sounds. Lol 😂 Folks will take a thread and turn it into world war 6 if you let them.

Ouch! I hope you were able to repair it.

I suspect others on the A'gon chat board can share stories of pets, family, friends, and others who did "something" that caused understandably apoplectic responses.

Someone I private messaged with here described the nastier A'gon members as angry adults posting from their parents' basements. I got a big chuckle from that.
