Should we have an ASR universally accepted safe word before going nuclear on each other which seems utterly self-defeating to me
It can be a thread settler when people are arguing and someone posts a light hearted comment, meme, gif or other amusing joke.I and another person here in another thread were back and forth on an issue until we stopped after I sent an animated gif of a cat wanting to hug. I suppose he accepted the hug![]()
One partial reason for this peace is sadly the absence of the early day's wealth of really experienced,hands-on audio members.This forum is fairly peaceful and mostly tame I find... compared to other forums.
It's only when there is a "one side vs the other side" type thread, neither will back down and arguments then ensue. Although I find most members don't get personal here and stick to facts... most, not all.

Yep... it's funny though, when younger I would battle people on arguments for months sometimes. "Someone is wrong on the internet!"If I see their response, I simply ignore them and I do not reply.
There is the problem right there. To work, a safe word must be universally accepted. Trolls are never going to do that.Should we have an ASR universally accepted safe word
So true. @pkane's Multitone test thread, with you and several others testing & reporting bugs was my most wholesome read on this forum, and probably top 5 on the entire internet.I use to read this old threads just for the names involved.
Most fun and educational (for me) thread,ever,by a long margin,@pkane is amongst the most generous and knowledgeable members far and beyond dry theory only.So true. @pkane's Multitone test thread, with you and several others testing & reporting bugs was my most wholesome read on this forum, and probably top 5 on the entire internet.
Rather than expecting other people to moderate their behaviour, why not moderate your reaction? You can choose not to get offended or get triggered. For sure some people on ASR really irritate me. If I see their response, I simply ignore them and I do not reply.
So accurate ! I always think of this by the 4th page :So funny, and true. I can usually count on one hand the number of pages it takes before I stop following a thread for the very reason expressed above.
Hmm…
Come to think of it it’s usually by page 2 when I know it’s time to drop the peace sign and unwatch.
I wish it wasn’t so.
