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?

@mapman @jmera it used to be balanced and organic.  Now experts pop up out of no where. 

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.

It's simple there is viral meningitis this is a known fact.covid is a virus and causes drastic changes in some people.almost the whole world tested positive for covid just like the flu. I had patients on multiple times test negative 4 times  they had all the symptoms. Its called a false negative.then the 5th time positive. I saw several people just change over the past 4 years and not for the good.i went to Greece and the college educated tour guide was angry due to the situation.the whole world was effected and mad angry. Stay healthy enjoy the music and the search.

Senseless spats and disagreements are just a part of life in general. No big deal, especially when it comes to something that’s as non-essential to real life high end audio.  Personally, I welcome respectful heated debates and disagreements. Happy listening.
