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

@mapman 

It would be pretty hard to argue that whiteness isn’t handed down to you

No doubt that always helps in the good ol’ USA.

By my standards at the time I was growing up in the ’60s and ’70s I was not born into the lap of luxury (and I admit that back then I was envious of those who I thought were), but on the other hand I was not living in a thatched hut and being bombed and napalmed as other people were during that same period of time.  

Luck of the DNA lottery I guess, and as I typed a few posts ago, it could have been way worse.  Yes, I feel that I was lucky/privileged when compared to others. 

Better watch out, folks. The other thread, on buying and selling, was just removed for using the "p" word. Apparently, we're not old enough to talk about things that go even remotely close create a little debate that cannot be bought or sold.

Honestly, it's almost time to quit this forum. There are times I've gotten hot under the collar and had some threads removed. I could understand that -- my bad. But now it seems that, well, it takes nothing to have a thread obliterated. 

And yes, I know it's a private business and they can do what they want, blah blah blah. But really.

It all depends on how the "p" word is used 😂🤣

In the past I said many unpleasant things about Audiogon policies in this respect. And though my opinion did not change - the older I get the crazier I become - I stopped that because certain people and consequentially their ways of organizing, including business endeavours, are limited by their genetics and upbringing. Not their fault, but I find it upsetting and they probably don't.

So, yes, DNA lottery, this is an interesting phrase but it can also be a terrifying thought.
