to fb or not to fb... that is the ?


I have been in a few audio fb clubs and have found that they are not well monitored... and some people get on just to attack and put people down. If you post... you are fair game. However... it is a great place for uploading and sharing photo's, videos, information, and events. To get away from all the yahoos... I have started a fb club where if someone is there just to cause trouble... they will be removed. So... just seeing if there is any interest. Currently only 16 members. It's called Audiophiles - High End Audio.

I have been on FB for 10 years, never had a problem and am very careful as to what I post. I am friends with many audio reviewers, Steven Stone, johnathan Scull, Myles Astor, Mat Weisfeld plus probably 20 others. They always answer my Audio related questions and I have found some of us have mutual interests outside of Audio. It is also the only way I can see my nieces and nephews who live on the other coast grow up before my eyes. That is extremely important to me.


I am not the type to post what I had for breakfast or latest bowel movement like a lot of people do, but with ra very large family (my wife has 9 brothers and sisters) that is scattered all over the world, it is nice to be a part of their lives and they a part of mine
@8th-note........Agreed, Zuckerberg is a criminal, and FB and it’s policy’s need to be scrutinized.  With that being said, I am closer to far away family members and to me that is far more important than the FB politics.  
@wesheadly.......................I agree with you regarding the Political posts.  I called out FB on one of their blatantly false Political ads and I was rewarded by being put in FB jail for a week. Myles Astor a professional audio reviewer and who I am great friends has been put in FB jail so many times, the last one was for a month. As a result, we both try to stay out of the political discussions. 

The FB audiophile groups I reside in are from the most part courteous and monitored to keep the Trolls out, but the trolls still do persist.  I love engaging in audio discussions and stay for that reason.  It is also the only way I get to share in family and friends lives who are so far away from me.  So in summary, I put up with it so I am not shut out of the loop.
