WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES THINK YOU ARE BRAGGING WHEN YOU ARE SHARING?

I have seen many people share what they have and what they have heard on audiogon and there are always a few people that come on with negative comments about the person bragging or,the put down the higher end gear that one is speaking about.  Why do you think that happens?

"...a place like Facebook and twitter where it has become one giant episode of mean girls."
How does one actually get familiar with what is going on with mean girls on Facebook and Twitter? Without specifically searching for mean girls on Facebook and Twitter, that is.

n80,

"I drive a mostly unmodified Nissan 350z. Roll bar, race seats, harnesses, HANs, all that."
Is that really "mostly unmodified"? I know nothing about Nissan. Do they come that way? Maybe not an audio topic, but nor is the title of the thread so I hope it is ok to ask.

"Some will say it’s the way I phrase things but it’s not. It’s the way THEY read it. There is probably a snooty voice in there heads that reads out loud to them."
Oh, my, they tried to give you a way out. You read it against them. It just turned into a bash party for smarty pants people or the insecure and it shouldn’t be that way.

"Why ask unimportant questions that have nothing to do with this hobby?"
We have been trying to figure that one out over a couple of threads.

How many threads on this same topic does it take for all of us to be in awe of that particular system and it’s cost?

Many people have decent systems and live happily ever after. Without ever starting a thread about it. Much less multiple threads of same meaning.
