The real concern about ASR is that they are unlike any other audio forum on the planet in that they actively censor and shout down anybody who dares to express any experience based opinion.Most of us living in free and civilised countries have the right to have and express opinions guaranteed by law and yet here is an organisation that seeks to trample on and deny those fundamental rights and exclude people who might express or defend those rights.It is a bit like some fundamentalist religious sect in which a small group of gatekeepers and thought police seek to control the the thoughts and behaviour of its members.
This sort of conduct needs to be challenged and condemned wherever it is encountered.And FFS it is only discussions about audio!A completely harmless and victimless interest.
