Stereophile complains it's readers are too informed.

If I were reviewing, I would state the data, and state what I heard in the product. It’s not for me to make inferences for others. Now maybe the magazine might claim to be adhering to those standards? Not sure they claim that they do that, or that they obligated themselves to point out deviations from a certain standard. 

Agreed cleeds, intresting to see people “translate” what is said, into what they want it to say. I believe that’s actually the point of that last paragraph. That some people are using what they say and post, in a way that was not said, nor meant. There does seem to be a subset of the community who are biased towards certain views, and not open to any that don’t correspond to those. While some may not agree with a review or comment, they have no problem with someone who feels differently, but there is a group who it bothers greatly if anyone doesn’t acknowledge their views as the “correct” interpretation. 

Cd, I bet you think the moon landing was faked also, lol

Kish, lots of people don’t want the responsibility of their own decisions. If they believe they chose poorly, some will try to place all blame at everyone’s feet other than their own. I see it in my business as well. Some take issue with reviews on products they, nor most of us, could never afford to own. For some it’s because of personal biases for, or against particular products, and we see examples of this behavior here in this forum. There are many who, rather than have a proper conversation of products, feel the need to demean others who do not see their points of view. Rather than be respectful of others ideas, and choices, some feel the need to put their opinions out there as the end of the story, and anything else is fiction. Those discussions aren’t so much a conversation as much as they are preachings.
