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?

I've been on Audiogon since '98, but somehow, I missed why Albert parted ways with Audiogon. Can either of you give me a brief explanation?

If you had read the whole thread, you would have seen that one of the reasons mentioned for a lack of civility on this forum was the mention of politics, which you just did.

The forums definitely aren't as much fun as they once were, but in the other hand, I don't think there has been as much vitriol lately as in the recent past.
