why do so many discussions turn contentious?


just venting....why do so many discussion posts need to turn  contenious and nasty?  do you guys find that constructive and/or enjoyable?  I have no clue who or how this forum is moderated, but I sure would love to see a stop to that...it makes me feel like this hobby is dominated by total jerks.

Can't we play nice, share OPINIONS and OBSERVATIONS, realizing that  they often are subjective and biased.  
"if you dont have anything nice to say, say nothing"?  If you wish to disagree, do it in a constructive and mature fashion, no need for "argument ad hominem"...

with all the chaff, one must waste so much time finding the wheat, figuratively speaking.  

I doubt my writing this will change anything, but, like most social media, people writing to others without facing them does not bring out the best, sadly......

....I can see it now, streaming to the world....*expansive gestures*

Stronger soap....deter gent...;) 
@dabel....+1, and thanks for noticing.... ;)

I'll apologize and beg pardons from the 'collective' for being more than a tad wry in my obscure fashion, but some threads....
...just  nearly beg for the 'cooler of Gatorade' Rx...
...but it dries 'sticky' (I personally don't like any Gatorade a'tall) so just a jive jibe might bring relief....*shrug*

Jury's still out, imho....

3EZpymts has it down; "One Company To Bind Them" would be the answer for some, but would make the whole of AG superfluous....with the exception of ones' personal listening environment....and make for a socialist hell of an audio nature.

I'd rather read us arguing, frankly.  It keeps 'it' lively, one learns who leans towards what, or opting for diplomacy, keyboard kombat, or just just watching the fur fly.

But, I'm just weird that way, and c'est la vie....
