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?

Rich, old, grumpy, arrogant, successful, entitled white men.....

Say bad stuff on internet forums. Say really bad stuff in golf locker rooms. 

@jpwarren58 So true! I've simply listened and observed much of my life, funny how people assume you're  one of them and speak unfiltered.

"Privileged" to me means having things handed to you.  

It’s not really fair to label someone who worked hard all their life to achieve success "privileged".  That is the happy path for all!  Jealousy is a negative character trait.  Motivation is much better!

We should also all work to maintain a good level of empathy for those who are also good people but perhaps just much less fortunate.

@sns which is why I play tennis. We are at least proud of how badly we dress for the sport.
