Please Brian don’t be subtle, tell us what you really think.

Interesting how the subtle personal attacks come out wrapped like banter.

Not sure of the validity but I read something about a year ago that ASR had the highest engagement and activity of all audio forums combined. I wonder what their secret is?

I just did, and it has been a trend lately here.

Doesn’t banter foster more forum activity?

It might but it should not include the underlying personal digs. Is that not obvious?

AudioShark isn't fun anymore. Quantity should never be confused with or substituted for quality.

In all seriousness how do we as members change this? Is it just a sign of the times and the normalization of belligerency on the forums?

Well, for starters, those that don't agree with others can stop using references to "Wing Nuts" (= Right leaning mindset) and "Tin Foil Hats" (Conspiracy Theorist). If you go back and search on Tin Foil Hat you get about 6 hits and a few were locked 2 years ago. Read thru them and see who these terms were pointed at and then realize it all came true over the last few years. This issue is nothing new here but perpetuated by those who cannot or will not allow others to have a different point of view created from the information they have gathered without MSM.

I do not have a definitive solution. My personal strategy is to add offenders to my "ignore" list and not engage them in their destructive discourse.

Sorry Brian forums create the ultimate anonymity and this problem is not corralled into a single party. Some peoples gonads tend to grow rather large sitting behind a screen.

Nah, audiophiles taking incredibly important things like touching their amplifiers, too seriously, has been around a while

I will agree with that, but we had all thought there was more tolerance and maturity here at AS, but maybe not.

I always find it interesting when the people who cry for a cure are the ones who contributed to create the issue. (not aimed at you Brian)

 

[nc42acc]

Oh snap!!! No you didn’t.
