Have Audiophiles lost their CIVILTY!

You're asking a group of hobbyists of varying stripes in what can be construed as a rigidly dogmatic hobby by some of it's members, who, alienated from family and friends, take to a public forum to expound how they have the answers to the rest who simply enjoy it for the love of the music they can get from their systems, why they all can't just get along? 

Have I got that right? 

All the best,
Nonoise

are hell bent on being right?

You ain't got no friends on your left, your right

you ain't got no friends on your right, your left

sound off

one two three four

hit it again

one two three four. Alright

one more

One, two, three, and a quarter
I've got a date with the COs daughter
One two three and a dime
I told him I'd have her home by nine

CO, CO, He's a sucker
He don't know that I'm gonna... kiss her.

Three months later and all was well
But four months later she began to swell
Nine months later and out he came
A little paratrooper, bearing my name.

CO looked at me with a grin
said, "Be a good dad, or be a private again"

I say this because when I first got on Audiogon I didn’t see it like this. I mean guys shared knowledge about the hobby and that was all good  but now it seems like if you disagree with someone they are your sworn enemy. People get personal a lot quicker. Just my observation. 

It's the nature of modern online posting.The algorithms of lots of sites reward bad behavior and promote a lack of tolerance and these stupid manifestations spill over to other sites. 

It's a pathetically limited learned response as evidenced by intolerance that leads to firstly, going nuclear, and then censorship. We're living in a world of what online observers call rage monkeys. 

It's like that movie, The Crazies, but there wasn't any military plane crash that leaked chemicals into the local water source for a small city that drove them insane. They just spent too much time online at the wrong sites. 

All the best,
Nonoise
