Thank you for several salient points made.  Changing the channel I oft champion. However, simply changing the channel does not call out or discourage terrible behavior allowing it to fester.  

We're audio people not influencing world history.  But we do engage those in this neighborhood and should practice a modicum of civility and expect same.

If you were using an elevator and found someone had defecated in the elevator, you could simply use another elevator.  The act witnessed and ability to avoid should not render the stupid act acceptable.  

Civility in all facets should be the norm, not the exception.  Many have simply lost the ability to gauge and recognize their own uncivil behavior.  No filter.  Witness air travel these days.  Wow!  Now back to my awesome system and Lightnin' Hopkins. He knew something.

Sorry folks but the world has become an angry place and it is not getting better. Politics happens to be one main contributor. Do like WBF does. No politics and no religion. If one wishes to discuss these items, there are other forums available. Keep it audio related only. Gon will be a kinder, gentler place to visit.

Rationalization, the Achilles Heel of human behavior.  Harry Tasker in "True Lies" asked by his wife "Have you ever killed anyone?".  Harry says, "Ya, but they were all bad".  They were all bad.... according to the good guys.  Whoever they are.

Petulant behavior never wins the argument, rather it's usually ignored...by most. Predictably, the individual(s) take(s) up the truth sword swinging wildly at the perceived insult to their personal audio intellect, acumen, sanctum and/or bravado.

It's our version of Road Rage... exposing the triggered verbally incontinent all over again.  Queue the renaissance man projecting superior intellect to win the day exposing the trogs for their Untermensch status.  Bad performative theatre. Wowser! Did I get that right?  The litmus test will be the trogs attacking.
