Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?


I think we have.  I have seen many discussion on audio forums and how nasty they can become when you have people disagreeing. Seems like there are a lot more know it alls now. I been in 20 years and I can still learn.  But I also know I know quite a bit. Like cables can enhance the sound and higher end well designed gear can truly be ear candy special.  Is this just on audio forums or the internet period.

Interesting - I am up early this morning enjoying reading the threads from last night’s Daily Recap email and thinking about what a peaceful and respectful place this forum has become primarily, I believe, through moderator intervention. Of course it still has its moments but by and large the discussion here has become peaceful and constructive. 
 

+1 @knotscott - great post. My dad taught me many years ago the arguing in the workplace isn’t a bad thing, rather it shows folks are passionate about what they do. It’s only when it becomes personal and/or disrespectful that it becomes a problem. Man he was wise and I miss him (and mom) everyday. 
 

+100 @celtic66 for “it’s positive and constructive or it’s negative and destructive”. Words to live by my friend!
