In the last couple of years, I've seen a lot less respect for the OPs on the PA forum, so I'd like to hear your opinion about whether respecting is still important. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

We should not only respect the OP but comments that don't align with ours. In my six years on PA I have noticed more bickering and some knowledgeable people have left. I've noticed some members don't read the OP, just the thread title and respond. |

One would have to see if the OP wrote a good (comprehensible, sensible & sensitive) post in the first place. TBH, I haven't really noticed that negative trend here, but then again, the whole web is getting more aggressive... and I don't think PA or PE are open war zones, especially since the political/religious ban some 8 months ago.
As for the need to choose a thread title carefuly. . ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Typical of all online conversation. Everyone is talking, very few listening. Same with albums and songs and the thousands upon thousands of releases yearly. In one ear out the other. I was reading Fripps last few diary entries and tried to find a reason to understand the “why” of it all. Like the endless you tube vids posted on this site. Noise, no solid grip. It’s where the world is at… information overload. We should all go fishing or backpacking. ------------- https://bakullama1.bandcamp.com/album/maxwells-submarine |

Did you think I wouldn't notice your passive-aggressive reference? You're getting very close to a suspension if not a permanent ban, and have been for some time now. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |
