Popular Post whell Posted December 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2019 “Why did audio stop being about audio?” Probably around the same time for some folks that listening to music started being more about listening to their gear, and obsessing about what they think they might be missing, not doing right, not having the latest and greatest new piece of gear, etc. Couple the insecurity that might flow from that obsession with the relative anonymity of the internet providing a forum for the obsessed to exercise their demons, and things can sometimes get nasty. That said, I think it’s the relative few that derail discussions or engage in attacks. Most folks come to audio web sites as lurkers. Some choose to engage in the forums and a smaller number engage more frequently. So, it’s the relative minority that cross the line into incivility. But when they do cross that line, their comments seem to get an inordinate amount of attention. So, it’s not all bad, and most of what I read here and elsewhere is pretty darn educational, or at the very least an interesting read. Thanks for the editorial. And an extra thanks to those who engage in civil discourse here and elsewhere. joelha, Nikhil, tapatrick and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment
