RE: digital = clarity and duplicable

Comment comment by twabulldogg on 01 February 2008

what kind of an elitist view you have to maintain to be so dismissive of any thoughts >that you don't agree with

I would say that is irrational and a bit of an overreaction. All I was merely trying to point out is the discussion is about which sounds better, digital music or vinyl. In support of your side of the story, nostalgia is nice but it doesn't necessarily mean that something is better just because it triggers fond memories.

"hold on. this person doesn't agree with me. everything they say must be dumb >because my opinion is a true representation of all intellectual, rational people."

A discussion about two opposing views means that people don't agree, but simply disagreeing with someone's view or saying that an argument is not solid doesn't mean the other person is dumb.

I have fond memories of watching movies in a VCR, but I don't think anyone would have the same argument about DVD vs VHS movie viewing.

RE: digital = clarity and duplicable by jandaman :: NR5

nostalgia is nice but it doesn't necassarily mean that something is better

this is exactly why i brought up the elitist attitude...who are u to be dismissive of what justifies better for me?..i can understand u not agreeing...but to say that it is not a good argument is elitist...how is it that u get to define the justification of good and bad?..if u don't like broccoli, does that mean since i do that i am wrong...i mean, according to ur logic, just because i think it tastes great is not an acceptable argument for why it is better than a chocolate bar...i mean...the chocolate bar must be superior because it is easier to transport...u don't have to cook it...people generally tend to like it better...so all people that like broccoli are wrong...

that is pretty elitist to me...
