Popular Post austinpop Posted February 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2020 This is a much appreciated step, Chris. I sincerely hope this increases the collegiality of the discussion. My hope is that it allows us to persuade our friends who’ve left AS due to the negativity - we all know someone like that - to come back and participate and contribute again.

Head-Fi is one of the, if not THE, most successful audio sites out there. I'm sure Chris would be delighted for AS to achieve that level of traffic. It goes to show that you don't need argument and conflict to run a successful audio site. 1 hour ago, Tone Deaf said: Head-Fi's Sound Science forum does keep most of these "issues" bottled up inside it. Interestingly - but not surprisingly - it's a low activity forum. The Computer Audiophile and AudioDoctor 2 My Audio Setup Link to comment
Popular Post austinpop Posted February 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2020 To lighten the mood, here's one way to bridge the subjective-objective divide. http://www.moviequotedb.com/movies/my-cousin-vinny/quote_15938.html My favorite part: Vinny: How can you be sure you used 16 foot pounds of torque?Mona Lisa: Because I used a Craftsman model 1019 Laboratory edition, signature series torque wrench. The kind used by Cal Tech High Energy physicists, and NASA engineers.Vinny: In that case, how can you be sure THAT'S accurate?Mona Lisa: Because a split second before the torque wrench was applied to the faucet handle, it had been calibrated by top members of the state and federal Departments of Weights and Measures, to be dead-on balls accurate. Here's the certificate of validation!Vinny: "Dead-on balls accurate"?Mona Lisa: It's an industry term. The Computer Audiophile, daverich4, thyname and 4 others 1 6 My Audio Setup Link to comment

Someone even said "we can be assholes on occasion and you've allowed us to get away with it." So true. Chris has given these guys ample opportunities to mend their ways. After that big Forum Guidelines thread, there were a few days of good behavior, and then it was back to the snark. A mans gotta do what a mans gotta do.

I'd wager >95% of readers approach AS with this attitude, and therefore can interact with one another with courtesy and without drama. Then there's the drama queens... 4est, bobfa, AudioDoctor and 1 other 3 1 My Audio Setup Link to comment
