Amen to that...

The lack of rational conversation and debate in modern society is a great loss, as it prevents people from learning new viewpoints and perhaps finding new interests that would enrich their lives and their attitudes. But you must be willing to at least listen to the other side for that to happen. There's a reason why Trump is the hero of the know-everything science-haters. He embodies their spirit to the ultimate degree. Its a sad state of affairs.

+1. I agree.

Great ! Now I am stupid because I question myself and don't take anything granted, as advertised. I'm impressed. Even if I am not a «flat-earthed». At least, I treat you respectfully and I am open minded to discuss without accusing another one of being «idiots». Have a great day and don't forget to listen to music, not to your system.

Oh and no need to reply or add some other kind of insult because I quit that site. I know that you will be happy to be all alone together. One last word, look at my system and I must add that I have several Shunyata power cords. Not so bad for a redneck with more than 10 000 lp. Bye everyone.

[Venere]

So you bought products from a company whose engineering and performance claims you call a "joke". You're right, you are far more open minded than I thought.

Thank you Venere. I do my best under difficult circumstances to inject some humour into life...

Certainly, I didn't call you stupid and I don't believe anyone else here did. You posted something that was essentially a baseless, pejorative comment. I provided context and additional information. Others, Venere specifically, used your "a joke" comment to make a broader statement about the apparent degradation of civil communication in forums, other media and society in general. I don't think he intended to excoriate your comment, but only wanted to make a broader statement.

In my opinion, the erosion of civil communication relates in part to the fact that so much is communicated on-line, or at a distance. There are fewer opportunities to communicate in person--and more on-line "go-to-meetings".

I know the difference because when I speak at dealer events, at shows or in any other face-to-face setting, everything is perfectly friendly and goes on in a very civil manner. Alternatively, People tend to contribute content in forums they would never say in person. I always try to remember that when posting a comment--and that's not easy. I've made my mistakes, too. Its like driving and verbally vilifying the car or driver in front of you. There is a de-personalization that takes place on line (and in cars because I am an offender in that regard)-- though the offending driver has NO idea.

Look, had you phrased your comment as a question rather than a judgement, there's no issue here. I can see why there would be skepticism, because speaking frankly, our product category deserves it. I'm here only to state facts and defend our company's integrity when there are comments made that I believe are untrue.

I digress, but just my 2 cents--ok, maybe .$.35

Well said Grant. It is indeed the anonymity of modern life that has contributed to the lack of respect among people. Sadly, I dont see that ever changing. You know, sometimes when people talk about the good old days they have a point. Oh well, that's "progress". It's Steve Jobs world and we just live in it.

Very well put, Grant. It is indeed a degenerating society. Gives me all the more pleasure to stay home listening to my Sigma PC's and Anaconda signal/speaker cables through my system where peace and serenity reign.
