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?

rarely does anyone argue about analog equipment like amps and speakers,

Seriously?

Thanks for my first laugh of the day.

You're just jealous. It's a terrible thing.

I'm part of a firearms collector forum and almost all of the members are polite and respectful.  You don't have to worry about what you say and how it might be interpreted. Very few arguments.

Haha.

No interest in living in an armed society, regardless of how "polite" it is.

There is a strange obsession with binary choices; if you like dogs, you HAVE TO hate cats. If you like Coca-Cola, you have no choice but to despise Pepsi. Beatles or Stones, Packers or Bears, analog or digital, it doesn't really matter. As long as liking one thing is taken to mean you don't like other things this kind of scenario will continue. Human nature is pretty unnatural sometimes.
