Taking editorial license with the words of Albert Einstein, disagreement and conflict (argument) expressed as philosophical discussion are essential parts of science (of recording and reproduction of music); the greatest talent is the ability to strip a theory until the simple basic idea emerges with clarity. This type of disagreement is healthy. It is a hopeless undertaking to debate about fundamental value judgements. But if there is agreement on certain goals and values, one can argue rationally about the means by which these objectives may be obtained.
I do not want these pages to be rose colored for there will be no value; however, I do not value sardonic expressions of emotion. The takeaway I propose is that philosophical argument on these pages is healthy as long as it is consistent with a goal or objective as audiophiles, not simply to be sardonic in a failed attempt to be humorous in one’s own eyes. I am sorry to say that there are some rare occurrences of discourse on these pages that does not conform to Einstein’s articulate position on healthy argument and become sardonic. When this occurs, simply disregard it for it is posed by someone that is simply trying to seek attention, even if it is negative attention. By participating you are feeding into their need
