Manufacturers pushing their products and agenda in the forums.

In the deep, dark, past manufacturers participated in the Audiogon forums with a general sense of decorum and a sensitivity to other products that they did not manufacture themselves and which were, from a design standpoint, philosophically opposed to their views. 

What has happened? Manufacturers now post into the forums dogmatically espousing their myopic view of the hobby, shamelessly pimping their own products and view of the audio world and, even more disturbingly, running down opposing brands. 

IMHO, it may be time to throw the baby out with the bath water and ban manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers. If they can’t get their act together they should take it on the road.

I find that audio is probably the most petty and brutal forum type on the net. In the top 5 or maybe the top three.

Almost as if notable percentages of the the adherents don’t know how to participate if they can’t express wanton negativity.

The illustration of that, in clarity and in repetition so you know it is tru(er), is that... when a political thread appears in the off topic section... they are far more civilized and calm than the audio discussions.
