Address the issues? That's the issue. People don't like being badgered and insulted and when you do that, the possible responses are either to ignore you or attack back.

"absolute obstinate refusal to grant the truths that all citizens know to be real since grade school"

What part of representative government do you not understand?

-in most of the cases, nobody is really interested what some Dick Lick said about Paragraph 8.1.1, or so - if we want US Constitution or Laws citations, we have a "Google"
-in most cases, many people here have other political opinions, but you`re trying to push your version till the end, your post/truth must be The Last Word
-it isn`t enough to say "I don`t like it, I think differently" - you`re "pushing" - but nobody have the duty to explain yourself here more then he thinks is necessary
-why, on Earth there`re so little thematic about real life, people, events, customs, photos, personal experiences - just the boring specific political blablah, like on TV
-this is not a political course, we are adults here, and nobody likes constantly being "teached"
-too little humour, everything is so "dead serious", and again - boring
-and the last thing - this is a audio forum, but (for example) nobody writes anything on "SET" forum for months...

I see a lot of insults here in the Dungeon, and I can see that several others do too. It isn't because of thin skinned people, it is because of the posts that say "if you like Bush you're stupid" or "religious people are backwards buffoons" or "if the democrats don't win in November then it's because people are unintelligent" or whatever. It's the Dungeon, so I guess you can post whatever you want as long as the law allows it. But I don't like watching people getting kicked around, or ugly bickering like the Jerry Springer show.

AudioRoundtable.com was made so that people could discuss audio with gentlemen, and not be subjected to senseless name calling. We're not talking face to face here, so sometimes we don't know when someone is kidding. We sometimes develop that kind of rapport with one another, but other times not. So it pays to maintain some restraint.

This forum is fundamentally here for all of us to share audio ideas, projects and stuff like that. I spend a lot of time developing new things and I always hope it is enjoyable to people. I post as often as possible and try to be helpful. I get a kick out of people enjoying my audio products and the shows and what not. It's worth it, because we have a bunch of fun folks around here on ART.

I know you are the same way. I see you spend a lot of time developing tube amp circuits and taking the time to post them. I really appreciate that. Many other people spend time posting and responding to people, things like helping newcomers setup their turntables or just sharing ideas. Some post reviews, and that's great. So that's what I'd like to see mostly.
