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.

Art is a crafmanship born from necessity, but educated by the heart and mind ...Science is his offsping as is technology ...

The question is , who want a purely non human health care with the hypothesis that the human body is only a machine corporations will takes care ?

What is sound, the result of machine manipulation and computing or an artform expressive of human heart ?

For sure you are right and i thought the same...

But how to answer someone who dont trust his own heart and ears ? Only dials and double blind test protocol because and it is true, human hearing is prone to errors as it is prone to learnings ...

I prefer to fail and learn step by step ...It is called art ...

 

«Good sound is never  so much the perfect sound but  only the sound you created and produced by yourself as art form «--Anonymus musician 🎹

 

Music is art….there in lies the elusive meaning of a subjective response, communicated by objective devices. If you have a response which allows that art to connect with you, then look no further.

Some people always know the price, but not the value.

You know the use of ashes…so surely the reference is not lost.

 

We are living in a time of "know it all's" because its so easy to challenge other people's opinions without meaningful discussion on the web. One thing I find that does "dis-arm" rude responses is using "personal opinionated phrases":

 "It's been my experience that there are no major differences between affordable vs expensive cables"

VS " Stop buying the snake oil, there are no scientific evidence that cables make a difference"

I believe Online forums, twitter, etc has eliminated educated discussions among people on any topic.
