Well put my friend. There are however a few (very few) sites which encourage, nay, demand, that folks who spew "true believer' nonsense stand behind their hyperbole with sound practices and unsighted evaluations.
My own humble little non-profit site:
www.cdnav.com and the (much) larger
www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php are pretty much the best in class that I've run across on the Internet in several years of searching. Pop into our online list at
http://cdnav.com/cdnav/index.php and check out the rowcall of A/V forums I have compiled over the years. Its without a doubt the largest compendium of outrageous banter specific to the topic of A/V available.
