@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.
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.

This question does not even need to be asked to know the answer. The aura of anonymity and the "Keyboard Warrior" mentality has created the perfect storm for people to be complete and utter asswipes online. Things are said behind the "protection" of a screen and a fake username that would never be uttered in a million years if the two parties were face to face. That is the rude society we live in now.
It’s sad that the best solution to put these keyboard warriors, trolls, and bullies in their place is a swift Mike Tyson-like punch in the nose. But then the "puncher" would be accused of being a bully, get "doxxed", cancelled, sued, and have their name run through the mud. The "punchee" would be hailed as a "poor victim of some crazed MAGA-nut, Radical Alt-Right lunatic" and a GoFundMe account would be set up and raise $2.3 million for his "pain and suffering" and future "Specialized Trauma Counseling" he must seek for the next 25 years. Sorry if the truth on all accounts hurts. I didn't say, "I WOULD BE THE ONE PUNCHING" -- I learned long ago not to feed the trolls and to just walk away. I'm just saying that solution would shut a lot of people up.
Anyway, I give my post 5 minutes at the most before it is removed by the "Big Brother" moderators. Can you tell I’m fed up with seeing thread after thread "Removed By Moderators" for absolutely no logical reason whatsoever? Example: A recent post about a scammer that had several Members backing up the post and providing their own examples of being scammed by the person. Why would this post, one that may protect future Audiogon buyers, be removed by Moderators?? |
@allenf1963 yup. I agree. People can be deebo behind these keyboards. Because you are right you got to have a motive or be a shill. Put your earbuds in and accept that you might be wrong. Nastiness on steroids |
