2022 is almost here. Why are you here?

So why are you here?

No why are you on this forum?

Is it to discuss music?

Is it to discuss equipment and how to optimize your system?

Is it to meet new people and share ideas and well yes opinions?

I know those are the reasons I came to this forum. My favorite section is “What’s on your turntable tonight”. I also enjoy sharing my experiences in audio and well life so far.

Things I do not care for but come in an ecosystem like this are:

Posts that get hijacked.

People who politicize a post and everything is a right wing, or an alt left conspiracy.

Dealers that post to hawk their wares and services.

Boisterous bloviating blowhards’ that everything they do, own, and think is the best and you are schitt.

Personal attacks (I am guilty and will admit it)

I am right and you can not prove me wrong, so I am right. Tweaks are BS show me the DATA. Condemnation of a tweak or performance upgrade formulated on opinion, not science or trial and error.

There are a few only a few that are here just to be disrupters that pounce on posts by certain individuals looking for the opportunity to make them look the fool or extremist. So, it all goes back to the original question.

Why are you here?

I despise New Years resolutions and I am not going to make one here for 2022. I will say that if a post gets flushed down the political crapper I will move on. If the zoomer’s (thanks nonoise for that phrase) hit the thread, then the thread is dead to me. 

My goal in 2022 is to avoid conflict unless it is on the ice.

Love to hear form you all and Happy New Year!

I’m here for me. I don’t go after people to much. I just watch for the most part, unless it get WAY out of hand. There are a few that flock to others like stink on pink but, if they didn’t what else would they post about?

I think there are some great examples of how NOT to conduct yourself here on AG. It’s a pure learning experience for me at times..

I can assure everyone usually those being talked about are just a quick-witted and usually can give as good as what was dished out. The question is do you want to address the "Twit" remark, or be the bigger person?

It’s tough to be a Gentleman or a Lady it seems..

They need to bring back dueling I think. Better than the cowardly drive-by, punk A$$ mentality of today.

When I was a kid you went and got your big brother, now you get a Humvee and a Bazooka.

Somethin' changed

Mercy, a pandemic of dueling. I choose rocks as my weapon of choice and of course a speedo with an eye patch and a knee brace, just in case. I can hobble away if all else fails.. Maybe have my second bring some Bengay, a warm towel, oxygen and then a joint.

Happy New Year..

Regards
