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?

Let's keep the faith. There still is a code of civility and respect. All is not that bad.

@2psyop I realized something when my best audio buddy died 6 years ago. It’s just gear. You are gone and it all gets sold at a discount and you better enjoy everything about this hobby while you still here. I choose to limit the arguing with folks. I want joy out of this. Nothing more. Nothing less. Joy and peace.

On that note, I still laugh at the post that said "my greatest fear in life is that someday I will die,  and my wife will sell my system for what I told her I paid for it".  It's just a hobby.  We all need to step back sometimes and remember that.  Including me.  Cheers.
