"Have u put in solar panels at your house to help generate power and make yourself energy self-sufficient? If not, then I dont think you have the credibility to chastise others."
Why "chastise" anyone, unless you're member of the communist cabal that not only suggests but mandates their members rat on their family's, each other and everyone not toeing whatever the party-line du jour is?
You do you, I'll do me and we'll either agree, or agree to disagree.
Solar panels, wells (oil or water), wind mills, rodents on a treadmill, sucking utility power to do what and as you please and pay for, why should anyone care, let alone judge or heaven forbid, chastise?
The same applies to audio. We all have our preferences in music and playback equipment and how we would like our speakers, rooms and headphones to sound.
If you're not listening to what I prefer on the equipment I prefer, "chastising" should be the least of our thoughts. How about, happy, happy, joy, joy for your joy and individualism?
That's what a free high-trust (golden rule) based society and country provides: freedom of thought, freedom of actions, freedom of speech, freedom to defend yourself and loved ones, freedom to do foolish and even dangerous pass-times, things that don't negatively impact others. Mountain climbing, cliff diving or tearing-off the mattress/furniture sticker anyone?
