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?

Thought politics and social commentary were off limits?  Since the door seems open to those topics will make an general observation.  When uninformed emotion driven opinion takes over, respect and courtesy toward others declines.  Selfish virtue signaling rears its ugly head.  US does have a love affair with guns.  However, ask the 10s of millions dead at the hands of tyrants because they were disarmed - for their own safety.

Nothing here should be off limits but there are too many thin skinned members who hate being reminded of just how wrong they are on certain matters and for the choices they've made. 

All the best,

@immatthewj  Start with 20 or so million Stalin eliminated.  History is replete with similar episodes.
