Okay, this is flame worthy content. It is a rant. Here it is:
I've been around the block in Head-Fi. I've noticed that there are a lot of leaders, followers, and plain old nit wits just hogging up precious bandwidth (and computer resources) with tiring tirades with other members. I got no problems with followers because I was one too a long time ago. Let them learn however chance or fate may intervene. It's the leaders that I got some beef with. I got this funny feeling that people here have a way of thinking about almost everything from guns, religion, politics, sex, and well...headphones. People got their own agendas and biases. What I have a problem with is that some people use their well...post count or something...to influence the followers or newbies like they got their middle finger up their nostril and are just plain old leading them into their own team, camp, ho house, whatever. I don't have a problem with that. What I do have a problem with is when people try to boost their status or egos (usually the later; remember the CIA acronym for a traitor - Money Ideology Creed Ego MICE) by getting like mad followers to bend down on their knees and kiss mad Internet bootie or something like that. Guess what? They follow. The follow because well, they're susceptible.
What's this all got to do with me? I'll think for myself. Sure, I'll read a couple of threads about a particular object such as a headphone, headphone amplifier, source, cable, even tweak. But, I ain't gonna just jump in and drink the Kool Aid. No no, I can't afford to do that anymore. When it comes to non-headphone stuff like religion, politics, firearms, 2nd Amendment, and especially literature, I'll think for myself thank you very much.
Thank you very much for reading this rant. Have a nice day!
