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.

One of the pickles is we're dealing with 90% opinion and 10% facts.

A big percentage of that 90% opinion is stated as a fact, and when you have a blizzard of contradictory 'facts' swirling around, a lot of feathers get ruffled.

@scottwheel ,

You have 30 minutes after your post to make corrections.

Just tap the little gear to edit.

Our society has become this way for 2 main reasons imo. We have been trained by the media, both social and professional to personally fear and hate those that disagree with us. 

I neither fear nor hate anyone who disagrees with me, and I'm sure that goes for the vast majority. See, I completely disagree with you, yet I hold zero animosity towards you. I do however find your statement quite odd.

@mahgister ,

Joyeux Noel, mon ami!

Merci pour vos aimables mots.

I think a hot mate this time of year. Blessings to you and your family this Christmas season and throughout the year! I extend this to all my fellow forum members. Even the ones with whom I disagree! 😄

Predictable as a Hallmark movie??

Those things keep me guessing to the very end.

So many plot twists!
