Introspective of this forum: "Does the Audiophile Community Have a Promlem?" I Say yes!!!

This article is so insightful to this forum and the toxicity in the community. (My Opinion)

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone?

I know I have contributed to the toxicity here and will try to be a better citizen. Hopefully some will read this and see they are part of the problem (LOL)

Some will not and continue to play their roll as the Toxic Avenger.

There is a particular board on a specific forum that was hidden from the outside world because of how horrible it was. Where personal politics and racism was the norm 24-7 and one member even committed suicide after months of abuse. We watched him fight with other members on a daily basis and get a lot of heat back. He was fine most of the time when dealing with him on a individual basis but then he descended into some really horrible commentaries about race and certain countries and he went down the rabbit hole into some dark places.

Websites like ASR hold zero interest for me because a lot of the users are just there to be “right” and make others feel very small because their views don’t align with certain points of view.

What is a gentleman/woman? A person that makes their company or others feel at ease and as secure as they can. The deck of the Titanic the Band members kept playing. They were Gentle people but noble, sometimes your actions are all that is left to show others the true measure of compassion and to share. Tragedy will always show nobility and unfortunately every character flaw known to man..

Practice makes perfect? NO! BUT it sure helps.. You are what you eat, and you are what you repeat.

A lot of people know they do wrong, they choose to do wrong. So what is the unforgivable SIN? Assuming you will be forgiven.

You live aware, not in the shadows. Wrong is wrong and right is right. THERE is no gray, but there is plenty that is NONE of your business.. LOL

What would you want to be done to the guy/gal on the other side of the mirror?

Merry Christmas Everyone..

How many moderators do you think AG has? Volunteers? This isn’t a church social club it’s a business. I’m pretty sure they have a VERY small staff. 1-3 moderators at the most and they wear their hats 15 more ways. I can tell when a different moderator is in the drivers seat for sure.. Like the weekends. I got hammered by the mods.. I probably deserved it.. LOL

There is an issue with people posting only to antagonize a particular poster on the thread. I see it all the time. Continued harassment nothing done about it. It’s one thing to have an opinion about gear, it’s another to see what goes on, in some of the fuse, cable, class d, Tekton threads. People continuing to dump on the product but worse on the owners of the products.

I offer a reason why I do or don’t like a product. Usually I’ve tried something if I comment on it.. You’ll notice I don’t talk about poison to much, that’s because I haven’t tried to many different kinds..

If you think somewhat like a business person in business with other competitors, you try to let their business practices reflect the quality of their work. Good or BAD.

Not all advertising is good advertising, especially the free kind. Look out for the heroes trying to save you, they may just be nuts!!

No, NO BODY committed anything because of what anybody said. Next it’s gonna be someone else’s fault for everything! Any one that takes their own life it’s their own choice. Plain and simple.. Pretty serious choice too. You only get to make it once. It’s always heartbreaking to lose someone, but sometimes it’s inevitable too.
