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

Well, you already have someone on this thread referring to others as "mentally unstable," so I guess what else would you expect but conflict and disagreement?  

I actually have read the whole thread and quite a few posts before @oldaudiophile posted, someone already did go political with his "mentally unstable" unstable comment (apparently referring to members whose political opinions he didn't agree with).  So +10 @oldaudiophile . 

Just trying to inject a little levity.

LOL!  And I thought that they were words of truth.

Ancient Sotheast Asian proverb: "When all of your problems start to look like Viet Cong, all of your solutions start to look like M-16s."

What the hell are you talking about? You must be stupid or something to think there's a lack of respect and maturity on the internet.

LOL!

@immatthewj  Start with 20 or so million Stalin eliminated.  History is replete with similar episodes.

I guess there is no point in typing a response with accurate sources and numbers; the snowflakes are on patrol getting posts deleted.

It could have been better, but it also could have been a whole lot worse.  I am grateful. 

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. 

rarely does anyone argue about analog equipment like amps and speakers,

Seriously?

Thanks for my first laugh of the day. 

I'd have to say that the US is currently a well armed society, and it doesn't seem to be the epitome of politeness. 

Clowns, go look in the mirror bruce.

Pee Wee Herman strikes again.
