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 originally came here to try to learn about some audio things. Now, I get a daily digest of “hot” forum posts and I only come here when I think there’s a high probability that the right-wing bloviators are gonna trot out their political sentiments and tell us about vaccines, “truth”, and how they did their own research and that they think for themselves and everyone else is a fool with bad ears and a cheap audio rig.

Of all the audio forums out there, this is probably the sloppiest one terms of moderators and politics. I sometimes feel like I’m on 4chan or 8chan or whatever chan they’re at now.

So I come here to look at the political car crashes and read opinions from guys who claim they can hear digital clock noise down at the level of picoseconds because it’s the only place on the internet I get to do that.

But I have a low post count so don’t listen to me.

For the music threads. Though an audiophile site, the music threads make wading through the rest worth it. The participants are much more hip than are the guys who hang around hi-fi shops. To paraphrase an old expression, you are what you listen to.

@larshepping 

So you come here to complain about political posts by making a political post. 🙄
