Oh that guy. Yeah I've seen those before but could always open the links. Probably my work doesn't like something about the site.

It's nice to see someone use his extreme audiophool powers for good.

12 years later and it's all still relevant.

Once again, we get the mistaken belief that Steve is an actual mastering engineer. He's not.
At best, he's a consultant who tells real engineers what to do. It's the equivalent of telling the person who cuts your hair how you'd like it done, and then believing that doing so entitles you to call yourself a barber.

Lots of Laughs! Nice avatar! He does bombard the world with offensively shit videos of his band butchering the oldies, and he hates Hoofy. He ain't even that bad online.

Guys like Kevin Gray, Bernie Grundman, Chris Bellman and Ryan K. Smith seem to be working around the clock mastering RVG audiophile vinyl, while STeVE is on ebay looking for a minty abacus.

By the way, a sentence from that decade-old extract taken from the "robertmusic" blogspot, revived a thought that had crossed my mind some time ago:
"His board - the most heavily censored and over-moderated assemblage of over the hill obsessive compulsive Americans ever gathered in one place - would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous and damaging to the music."
Of course as bad as Hooferville is, it's no longer the worst. Not with the cacophonous rise of all those QAnon discussion groups. Etcetera.
So here's a genuine question for you all: was/is the Hoffman forum a useful incubator for Trumptardism and the associated delusionary organizations that feed it? (And before anyone starts, yes, I know it was scarcely sufficient for triggering the development of a phenomenon that's been a long time coming. But was Hoffman, and hate-filled bullying sites like it, useful?)

I see the SHF as just more of the same hemorrhoidal symptoms that appear on the boomer ass end of every social media outlet, not a cause. I wouldn't give Hoofy any credit for influencing anything outside of audiophile wank-off land.

SHF is just a single mangrove growing in the keys of an island chain off the coast of a peninsula of the southeastern United States. One Florida Man of many. A symptom, not a cause.

From my foreigner point of view, it looks like such guys have always been there, as they have been on various hobbyist boards. From time to time, we would get a glimpse of their political leanings and their assholery. Trump simply validated their point of view and enabled them to express it in the open without any shame, as they regarded themselves as the (not so) silent majority.
