Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?

Lets not forget the physiologica limitations of being a member of Homo Sapiens.  That always has to be considered.

I am not usually upset with any forum activity from a personal perspective, it is what it is.

Forums in general are limited in regular participants, most of the Membership are lookers in and many many are visitors only.

I was a Visitor and Looker In for at least 2 Years before joining this forum, which is the longest I have ever had as a lead in.

I know my delay was very much influenced by some of the Treatments I had seen other members received. I also sort of resigned to the idea, I was not too far from a unsavoury experience once I chose to make posts. I was proved right in that notion.

Hey Ho, I dust myself off and get back on the Horse until the next time it finds a method to throw me.

reasons were s aand acc

Kindness costs me nothing. 

Hearing my Grandma's voice say, "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything" and heeding it costs me nothing.

I value this site, I value it's members and the varied advice and opinions. I've met some really great folks here and we stay in touch. 

Per another group I am a member of, I keep my side of the street clean. And other people's opinions of me are none of my business. 

I truly enjoy and love you all.  

“it’s like talking to someone you don’t know. Commenting on something you haven’t heard in an environment you never been in then saying there is not a difference.”

No Calvin, it’s not like that. It’s like informing someone who thinks they can see microwaves and x-rays that human vision is limited to red through violet wave lengths. It’s like telling someone who claims they can run 100 mph that no human can run faster than 23-25 mph. There is nothing extraordinary about your stereo or the stereos of other audiophiles or your hearing acuity or the hearing acuity of other audiophiles that is unknown, unresearched or magical. Human hearing thresholds are not mysterious unknown quantities. It’s also well known and documented that humans will tend to perceive differences where none exist when hearing the same thing with a time gap in between samples when listening for differences. That is normal for human beings. So it’s like telling you that you are a normal human being like the rest of us. And there is nothing uncivil about informing audiophiles about these realities. It’s actually very useful information.

@scottwheel good luck with your opinion. Take care. You go on and on and on. Honestly, I wish you would just look past any thread I post. There are those here that want to have real discussions and not have your opinion pushed down their throats. Take care. Every thread I start here you go!  lol.  😂
