Re: Newbie view: have to be 'politically correct' to assylum insiders or beat up

Steve and others of us have been on this and other websites for a long time. The reason for this forum is to talk about different cables and how they effect an audio system.
Jon Risch is an engineer, who shares his interest in cables for free to any interested audiophile. I personally don't make or sell cables, but I work with people who do.
We find that criticism of even trying different cables and their various configurations is counterproductive to open discussion. If someone (anyone) refuses to allow another person's input without destructive criticism of the person, ideas, etc., then some of us are going to go to the aid of the person being attacked. Recently, one of Jon Risch's pet ideas, bi-wiring, was attacked on this website. In looking at the evidence, including the work of others that can be found from this website, I decided to add my input. I can't use bi-wiring with my loudspeakers, but the idea still looks encouraging, even helpful in some other audio systems.
I realize that from an first glance, we seem pretty rude, and it may be a correct impression, but we have been at this for years, including arguing the same subject matter. We might not see it as the strong criticism, that you might take it for.
