These people are the audiophile equivalent of the Westboro Baptist Church Christians. Discussion and communication in fair terms is not part of the agenda nor is it possible.
You know, I have lived in many forums and played many of those roles. And have seen others play them just the same. I hope you give me some time to create a forum which we all desire. There are components that seem to not belong, but ultimately may. Take AJ. Read my interactions with him on AVS and HA forums and you would think we are each other's mortal enemy. Should I have stopped him from coming here? JK and I have been on both sides of the fence. Both supporters and again enemies. Opus is the same although not to the same extent. I know Fas42 as well. I know all of these people extremely well.
I am sure you have seen my technical audio
articles on the home page. Almost every one of the ideas for them came from arguments on forums as heated if not more than what we have here. They gave me motivation to go and research the topic more and eventually write an article on them so that I don't have to repeat myself. I don't know how any of that would come about if all of us with the same point of view sat here and looked at each other.
Am I happy about Fight Club? No. As I said, I have ignored it. I was hoping that kind of energy would be put toward asking good questions, sharing music you love, bringing humor here, and presenting more knowledge like you did with your thread that is now in the Digital Library.
So let's give the tea some time to brew. If the forum doesn't seem to your liking, just read the home page with the articles being posted. That should be completely stress free. I hope the digital library over time becomes the cornerstone of what this site is about. The forum will just be an extension for "comments" and not where "work gets done."
