I have shared a beer with Marc Phillips at a CES, as I have with Jim
Sanders and other r.a.o. regulars. I am becoming tired of Mr.
Krueger's incessant throwing out of insults on Usenet against
people like these, whose original "crime" in his eyes was merely to
offer opinions on audio that were contrary to his own.

Wow Atkinson, on the one hand you support legal action against libel
of a sockpuppet...

I am not aware of saying anything pro or con this subject, Mr.
Krueger.

Cough, gag! Good think I wasn't drinking anything when I read this *gem*

Atkinson, please place your preferred hand in front of your face. Extend a
finger towards your face and move it towards one eye. How far does your
finger enter the pupil of your eye before you feel anything? This would be a
reliable test for your obvious numbness, from the neck up!

Perhaps you are confusing me with someone else. ;-) (Note
appropriate use of emoticon.)

It's been a long time since I confused your online persona with that of a
rational, sentient being, Atkinson.

and on the other hand you support the actions of Phillips, who
routinely libels a real person (me).

I am not aware of any libel of you posted by Marc Phillips.

Of course not Atkinson. The same blindness to logic and reason that allows
you to blithely publish that well-known sack-o-lies called Stereophile is
also at work in your online persona.

He has
argued with you, as his right, he has asserted his opinions on this
newsgroup, as is his right, yes he has flamed you, but this appears
to be in response to initial flames from yourself, and recently he
has been drawing posters' attention to a offensive, self-pitying
message that you yourself posted to the newsgroup.

Yeah Atkinson, it's all my fault that people like you seem compelled to try
to exploit a personal tragedy in order to get *debating trade* points. You
know its coming up on 4 years and this childish game has been very old for a
very long time. But thanks for demonstrating your lack of character by
trying to pile on to Marc Phillips current perverse behavior.

As truth is an
absolute defense against libel, his having done the latter is not in
libelous, even though it does cause you to lose the respect of your
peers.

Speaking of respect of peers Atkinson, do you or do you not notice all the
laughter behind your back when you visit AES meetings? Or, are you as blind
to it as you are to Marc Phillips reprehensible behavior? Or, have people
dropped all pretense and just started laughing in your face?
