I must have missed the offense but that's probably because I tend to ignore most of the noise on this and other threads, it's not why I'm here. But I agree that personal attacks, even if they are unintended or even if they come from people who should know better, need to go. Make fun if you must without resorting to that. And like
@Baldr said, don't be a damn "snowflake" about everything. We have way to many of those in the world these days.
I blame the rise in snowflakedom on sports participation awards rather than allowing winners and losers, and on non-technical people who proclaim the technical "cause" for their subjective perceptual "effect." You know, the people who hang out at AVS and places like Sound Science.
