and in person they do tend to be better behaved than in audio forums. But that is typical of a certain personality type. In person you have to be more responsible for your manners because the person you disrespect is literally right there in front of you. No one can ever punch you inthe face over the internet.
Not that I am saying it's something I would do....but I do think that it really is the difference in many instances between people being polite in person and utterly shitty online. Audiophiles as a group among other things are not particularly athletic if you know what I mean. I think alot of audiophiles were the guys who got wedgys, had their milk money taken from them and were scorned by the cheerleaders in school. Makes for a lot of anger issues in life.
The same can be said for classical music fans and Yes fans IME. Particularly Yes fans. Not a bunch of gym rats. Although you see more oxygen tanks at a classical concert than a small hospital....so it seems at times
