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


I looked back over my posts and even my audio business dealings over the last 5 years and it seems like we have lost our ability to peacefully disagree or resolve disputes like grown men. Some of my best friends in this life are audiophiles and I enjoy the gear, the music and the brotherhood. I don’t enjoy the senseless spats. The inability to resolve conflicts and the people trying to destroy peoples business and reputations. Thoughts?

 Getting together is really what it is all about

the only thing that's better than getting together with stubborn, arrogant, rich white old men (as I have seen more than a few here) is to not get together with them. Maybe just my bad luck

Got it. I am not sure how I am not kind. I could have used harsher words. But our sensitivity varies, I can keep it to myself. 

would be the envy of half the population on earth

I would up that to 80%

Slightly related I still don't understand how people make 4 times more in the US than in Europe for the same job. I know the reasons now, but I don't understand how we got here. 

And compared that southeast Asia where this multiplier is over 10. Yes, we are privileged - based on nothing but where we are.
