Post Subject: Diplomacy in order to avoid an emotional dead-endPosted by Gregm on: 6/21/2006
In fact, a battle of ego which leads nowhere rather than an educational exchange of views which leads somewhaere.
Very often a comment engenders an emotional reaction -- rather than a (rational) discussion.
The latter (discussion) could result in a useful exchange of views and benefit the owner of the system under discussion.
There is a second reason -- one I often experience. Many people of the moronic persuasion asking for opinion do NOT expect a real opinion; their equally moronic attendance also jsut gives a comment like "no musicality" or "throw it away -- not worth the money". While in some cases it may "not be worth the money" -- the system is already purchased & there may be room for some improvement.
A constructive approach would be, "I notice a, b, c, ... that can be improved. I suggest you try x,y,z.
BTW, has anyone else noticed how many nicely presented systems sound anaemic, lacking energy and/or have their presentation mixed up (I mean, like the cymbals being in front of the orchestra, in front of the soprano, etc)?
