In Reply to: There are plenty of people who believe those things yet never rubbish others. nt posted by clarkjohnsen on December 30, 2003 at 09:18:50:
... apart from a few exceptions, most people posting at AA these days are tolerant.Obviously in many "A" or "B" choices many sincerely believe "A" while others "B". That is healthy and promotes competition with the bottom line that each of "A" and "B" serves much the same purpose, in much the same way, with differences being relatively minor. This could be extrapolated in our area of interest to differences between mid fi and better (to our minds) gear. The music is recognisable in both cases and many get genuine musical enjoyment from their mid fi systems. [Ironically,some of these are on a par with the "hi-end" gear of 20 years ago]. And I must confess to be guilty of Bose bashing myself - rather childish as many enjoy their Bose systems. But it is a good Aunt Sally for us to have fun with and I would not insult some of my misguided (there I go again!) friends who own them. I guess the point with Bose gear is that, to our minds, it is poor value for the dollar.
What is unhealthy IMO is a believer in "A" saying "B" is rubbish, or even worse, abusing anyone who does not agree with his/her opinion of "A".
Having "beliefs" in politics, religion etc seems to be an anchor that the human being needs. Unfortunately tolerance of different beliefs is less common and that often seems to extend to audio & video. But, as I said before, this appears to be less common on AA than on other boards.
Hip hip hooray for us & a happy new year to you all.
