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.

Reading a lot of these posts. Yup. We have lost the civility. Guys talking recklessly to people on the regular. Knowing darn well most wouldn’t say it to their face. one of the responses a guy made to my post is an example of why they wouldn’t say it face to face. There is no a guy asks a question in person and you accuse him of trying to shill right after. Man I don’t have any respect for people that are brave with their thumb on line but wouldn’t dare in person. It’s usually the guys that respond the most or respond negatively automatically have the most finger courage. Lol 😂

Typically, most of us seek experiences from those that own the same or similar level equipment or that actually have experiences we can gain from. I could care less about the theoretical psycho babble that a guy who can’t hear the differences in cables wants to spit at me. I’m interested in people who tried it and what their experiences are. Not looking for a science project. Does the music sound better. Does the horn have more bite fullness and realism. Is the soundstage bigger. Is the noise floor quieter. Not interested in your science project. Does the music sound more real and better. All that other bs is for the birds.

Great post to read!

Online trolls have perfected and revel in pyrrhic victories. It's all they know. They love the smell of napalm in the morning.

waytoomuch discusses being on the losing end of a conversation. What conversation? People now talk at instead of with.  Who wants to think when discussions now are see as causing trauma and not growth. 

+1 thanks for this very short on the point post...

John  Vervaeke explain all that in a stunning huge set of video courses called the "crisis of meaning" on youtube ...
