New Thread on Steve Hoffman website that says Audiogon sucks

My entire position is the Hoffman Forum, carefully and skillfully cuts off not some but all conservative views. Again, I am speaking of one segment of the Forum. If you are just going to stay in the Music or Audio section of the Forum, hey, no problem, however he introduced a new portion of the Forum called "Off Topic". This is the section he has his Gorts throwing off conservative views right and left.

The Gorts have no problems letting all liberal, hate Trump posts stay, Steve Hoffman loves those, anything that criticizes or belittles conservative values and builds up Antifa or BLM, or confirms it was conservatives that came to Washington and destroyed the Capitol, oh that is beauty to the Hoffman eyes, this is what I am speaking of.

If you are going to have a section of a Forum that can sway left or right, my attitude is let the pendulum swing freely, let everyone have their say, but that is certainly not happening with the Steve Hoffman "Off Topic" portion of the Forum and I would just like to see this change after years of abuse.

Additionally, if he has a rule, why in the world does he ignore his own Forum rule, why?

I have been a member of this forum for years, enjoying posting, but is causes me much stress to see well meaning people post very informative and valuable information to find themselves on the chopping block with these Gorts at Hoffman's command. I know I’m not the only one that has seen this trend for many years, and many of us are hopeful one day he will see our point of view, equal contributions from both sides is always better.

@constitutionalist Your cries and mourning of the Hoffman website matter here on Audiogon because……

Start a go fund me and start your own audio forum. Make it very clear who you are and what you desire from the rest of the scout troop you hope to form. Do it quickly because a large group of potential donors may soon find themselves facing personal challenges as the Insurrectionists facebthe “music”.

You came to Audiogon to cry only about how another audio website doesn’t allow you the freedom to state your political position when the owner ofmthe site clearly makes the rules. Its not like you came to Audiogon and asked about cartridge alignment and mentioned that you got banned from another website because they didnt like the way you described cantilevers. You got banned because he wanted to ban you which, by the way, is enough!

Consider engaging in an audio discussion or pound sand, it doesn’t much matter to most here. You would be welcomed with open arms into any audio dialogue on Audiogon but even those inclined to inject their politics into an audio conversation are probably scratching their heads wondering what possible outcome you desire with your whining. Are you expecting a vote here to demand that Steve Hoffman cede control of his website to a third party receiver? One who will allow you to post ill informed, unsolicited and contrary views. Quit crying about it here or pound sand.

Nonoise, I am quite certain that vaccine issue is (at least in some extent) a ’political’ (in lack of better term) thing.
Than again, I am quite certain that disussion about it should not be held on audiophile forum (or at least should have a ’special thred’ if allowed by moderators, which I doubt)
I guess audio is part of life used to escape from reality, draging such ’discussions’ in it would be a ’crime’
All the best,like you say

alexatpos, I disagree. We had a very long thread on Covid and the vaccine that allowed (for the most part) for some spirited discussion. It eventually closed because some had their fee fees hurt. It was the usual dish it out but can't take it crowd.

Maybe you should point your comment on what should be allowed towards constitutionalist since he brought it up, which begs the question, would you have said anything if no one replied in the negative to his screed?

All the best,
Nonoise
