People haven't been objecting to your opinion, but to the automatic disrespect you apply to anyone that doesn't share it. Maybe english is not your first language and something is being lost in translation in both directions.

There are some people (probably not on this forum) who feel that reading an ebook is not as good as reading a paper book. That you can't retain the infomation as well and other objections. I think most of us here would disagree. Just the same, some people find audiobooks a better way to read at least some of the time.

Don't understand why saying "Men" is a way of disrespecting anyone. Just wasn't my intention

In a very short time you've managed to antagonize a few people. I think that you should consider more the effect of what you say. |

It might not have been your intention but that's revealing in itself regarding your underlying attitude toward the participation of the large subset of posters who aren't men, since you used a form of address that excludes them.

To those who would use "fierce" or "virulent" to describe the defense of opinions on this site: you really should get out more. This forum is absolute milquetoast compared to the majority of the internet (not to mention real life).

Well, we like milquetoast.
It's nice that there is a corner of the internet that tries to be convivial. |

I don't disagree. I just found it a bit comical that some would think this forum is somehow "fierce." I've had more spirited differences of opinion with people I'd give my life for compared to the kerfuffles amongst the relative strangers around here.

What I do when I listen in bed is a set the book to stop after the existing chapter and I bookmark where I am when I start. That way I'll be OK if I was to fall asleep while listening.
