Disagreements and Conflicts between Audiophiles have we lost our brotherhood and maturity?

@sls883 I understand that.  I sold someone something once and because I didn’t let them try the speaker cables fast enough they immediately trashed me and product that they really loved just 2 months earlier.  It became personal. Not musical but personal. I didn’t get into this for that. I just wanted people to enjoy the tunes and the brotherhood. But unfortunately, that’s the way it is. This hobby should be happy and stress free. People shouldn’t be know it alls and we should treat each other with respect. Not silly disdain 

Yup. It’s the age of the “unmensch”. It started back in the 80’s with Morton Downey Jr. and has gained ground ever since.  Things go in cycles. Maybe we are all ready for a change. 

@baylinor I agree. The internet allows you to be nasty and disrespectful to others. To say things with the finger’s you would never in person.  It’s said. But there is no longer a simple man code of respect. It’s say whatever you want because someone made you mad. 

@calvinj FYI: I paid 93k for my house in 1985.

Just an observation.

@uncleang I got it discounted.  I sold things.  I flipped gear. I probably paid half that because of all the selling , flipping and trading for work etc.
