Y'know, I think the problem is as follows:

There are quite a few fruitcakes around with crazy beliefs about audio
engineering. They have a habit of posting their thoughts for the
"benefit" of we poor souls who have not yet seen the light. (That's what
crazies do on the internet, regardless of the topic under discussion).
Most rational people might try to engage them for a short time before
shrugging and moving on.

A flame war only starts when someone calls BS and is then prepared to
slug it out for an interminable time. It only needs one rational person
to get reeled in and keep on arguing for things to get out of hand. And
we have recently acquired such a person on this forum. He knows his
stuff, but he's a persistent, stubborn SOB. He tends to be the locus of
many flame wars on a number of audio boards I've visited over the
years.

Just because you're correct doesn't give you the right to drag our forum
down to the level that wrecked rec.audio.opinion. The crazies won't give
up, so just turn the other cheek and let it go. The phrase "don't feed
the trolls" is a genuinely useful piece of advice. You know who you are.
I admire your depth of knowledge and would always listen to your
technical advice. And I understand that you're on some kind of mission.
But please take your mission elsewhere so the rest of us can just ignore
the crazies until they go away.
