ARE AUDIOPHILES OVERLY SENSITIVE BY NATURE?FEELINGS AND OPINIONS?


I have been an audiophile the last 20 years for the last 5 years I have worked with Infigo Audio as my industry affiliation.  It’s been my experience in business and audio conversations that there are 2 areas that are interesting. When giving opinions many audiophiles try to come off smarter than the people they are talking to. Also in conflict resolution if you have disagreements they are more willing to go to extremes. Has anyone else experienced this.  Some seem like they can tell you what to do? How to post etc. which to me is crazy. Most of us are 30, 40, 50, 60,70 plus.  Thoughts everyone?

@ticat Thats because we are real men telling it like it is, there is nothing subjective about simply being respectful of others. Additionally the offenders (many are serial posters/commenters) may recognize themselves and have nothing to bring to the conversation.We all have our strengths and weaknesses. The person some may disagree with is the person you have been waiting for 2 weeks to fix your plumbing or rewire your house,repair sheetrock and yes do legal work for you.  Just becuase someone does not have the depth of knowlegde some here do regarding audio does not mean they are an idiot or deserving or snarky pithy remarks.We are simply trying to participate in the hobby we all enjoy. Why be here in the first place? Unfortunately there are those who don't understand that or simply lost sight of the true purpose of forums like this; in my book it is to share not tear down others.

Enjoy the vibe...it won’t last long.

@ticat Please do take my comment above to be directed at you personally, it is a generalization. I apologize if it comes off that way.

Ahhhh...ran a Roofing Company for almost 20 years...Thick skin, hard head and I appreciate direct conversation... No problem
