Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?

@pcrhkr Wow, mention of Utah speakers.  My first speaker build used Utah 12 inch full range drivers with a whizzer cone, no less, in a Karlson enclosure.  Wore out a  Dual turntable.  Since then built and modified numerous speakers amplifiers, pre-amps, and other electronics.  For several years spent too much time in HiFi stores buying and trading equipment seeking out the latest with best specs.  Many great learning experiences along the way leading to equipment that just sounds good to me, regardless of specs or price.  No claim to be an expert, but will share with others willing to learn in search of their happy place.  

Our society has become this way for 2 main reasons imo. We have been trained by the media, both social and professional to personally fear and hate those that disagree with us. 

I neither fear nor hate anyone who disagrees with me, and I'm sure that goes for the vast majority. See, I completely disagree with you, yet I hold zero animosity towards you. I do however find your statement quite odd.

I am not surprized by your reaction my friend... 😊

I know personaly that you are a generous and great soul... And they generally cannot imagine the rest of us as we are ...Fearful and revengeful because easily manipulated.. then there is truth in the two posts, yours and the friend to whom you replied ...

Merry christmas to you and enjoy the mate cold or hot and stay healthy ...

@mahgister ,

Joyeux Noel, mon ami!

Merci pour vos aimables mots.

I think a hot mate this time of year. Blessings to you and your family this Christmas season and throughout the year! I extend this to all my fellow forum members. Even the ones with whom I disagree! 😄
