@everyone I stay on this forum because I don’t want the naysayers to mislead those who truly seek to improve their systems.
Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?
I think we have. I have seen many discussion on audio forums and how nasty they can become when you have people disagreeing. Seems like there are a lot more know it alls now. I been in 20 years and I can still learn. But I also know I know quite a bit. Like cables can enhance the sound and higher end well designed gear can truly be ear candy special. Is this just on audio forums or the internet period.

@ellajeanelle i agree. No one wants to come argue all day. Make your point once or twice. Some people have taken the joy out of the forum and the hobby. Trying to ram inexperienced comments down your throat. |
@calvinj - I think you uncovered a core issue there - one’s inability to consider the possibility that they may be wrong. I believe humility is a waning virtue in our society. Partially because folks cannot separate the ideas of humility and humiliation (or do not realize they are two different concepts entirely.) Just my take. I could be wrong. :)

I post to share and read to learn. The acrimony and snark is noise and it is something I just scroll past. I'm not going to project the behavior on the comments of an Internet board to the decline of civility at large. There are some good, knowledgeable people here. If you are looking for solid information v. acrimony, it is pretty easy to distinguish -- FWIW, I spent 35+ years litigating out of NYC on a wide range of cases throughout the world . There was a way to handle disagreements without throwing a tantrum. |
@linnvolk yes I agree. Some people will never admit that they could be wrong. But to never hear smthg and tell that person who owns it that they are not hearing differences. Makes no sense. |
