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......

Most contentious posts involve people with no knowledge or experience posting what they think they know. 
Best joke these days is who thought access to all the world’s knowledge on the internet would make people stupider. 
Legit posters here own high end audio equipment and invest time in listening. 
Then we have the stupid who have never heard high end audio, can’t bother too, and want to tell us what they think they know.
