It's hard to convey tone through typed words. I'm not at all disappointed. It's just looking like a forum that I won't be particularly interested in, that's all. That's perfectly fine. I get plenty to keep me occupied in the forums I already follow.
My main interest is in how to get great sound so I can listen to great music. I understand the place that subjective impressions hold in that process, and I understand the importance of understanding how things work from a scientific standpoint. I'm not in either camp on that. I'm a common sense kind of person. I like to see theories applied to solve an observable problem. I'm not interested in theory in an abstract way, and I'm not interested in not having no science at all.
It's actually easier for me to just participate on the subject of "cables, speakers, tweaks, etc", rather than divide it up into "believes cables make a difference" and "doesn't believe cables make a difference"- so this outcome is the way I'd prefer it anyway.
Does that explain it better?

My ideal is a place where any opinion can be expressed, and whether or not that opinion holds any weight depends solely on the way the person expressing the opinion is able to support it. I'd like to see people have a sense of humor about things, not go around with a stick up their butt looking for a fight. I'd like to see people remain courteous to each other, and not take disagreement with their opinions as a personal insult.
I've said it before, but I'll say it again. The problem here has absolutely nothing to do with science. It has to do with people not being able to argue fairly on point. I think the schools should go back to teaching logic and debate instead of telling everyone that their ideas are all equal and no one is right and no one is wrong. People shouldn't get mad at people who disagree with them. They should behave like adults- either support their opinion well or concede and learn something new from the discussion.
See ya
