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.
@calvinj -"My daughter punched a hole in the cone of my Gato FM6 speaker when she was 2. lol 😂 I lost my mind that day." Ouch! I hope you were able to repair it. I suspect others on the A'gon chat board can share stories of pets, family, friends, and others who did "something" that caused understandably apoplectic responses. Someone I private messaged with here described the nastier A'gon members as angry adults posting from their parents' basements. I got a big chuckle from that. David |
@calvinj -Mad is as mad does. The irony is music brings the performers and listeners joy. David |
@tomic601 "Lord…i had banished from memory the Cat and the destroyed REF5 se …… instant PTSD…." LOL. Me too! I liken it to a teenager wrapping his dad's sports car around a mail box. |
Good thread. Thanks to the OP for delving into the limits of civility. A number of years back my cat destroyed my ARC Ref 5SE. I posted a request for help/advice and while I got sound advice, certain posters decided the thread was an audio chat board "Lord of the Flies." I'm sharing for your entertainment/edification. It's quite a hoot. David https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/my-cat-destroyed-my-arc-ref-5se-soliciting-suggestions |
