I've honestly and truly never seen it that way.
I see each side stating their opinion on the matter, but I've never seen anyone post here that they were interested in tubes and been told to "go away" or called names.
I just see the other side saying that they don't believe in tubes.
There's no "agenda" with either group. There are people that are "pro", people that are "con" and people that fall in the middle.
I sincerely think that almost every member here, high post count or not, is looking to help others. If that means that they're going to state their opinion about tubes, esoteric cables or wooden replacement knobs, so be it if the goal is to help the OP out.
I don't see it as hostile, until someone makes a big deal out of it and makes it seem like members have to choose sides.
Live and let live, I say.
You like the sound of an amp? It brings you pleasure? Enjoy it. It doesn't matter if I see things differently.
I get no Points in life by making others feel the same way I do.
