Arny's apparently sincere commitment to debate John Atkinson at the
Stereophile show should be applauded, IMO, even by those who dislike and
distrust him. It is not going to be an easy venue for him because it is fair
to assume that at least 90 % of the participants who know anything about him
will be opposed to him before he has said a word. Let's face it, not many of
us would dare to enter a venue where one has to transform one's image from
an internet lout to a bona fide audio expert while delivering a highly
objectionable message on a highly emotional topic to a hostile audience.

Arny is smart enough to know that even if he "loses", he may win. Only the
manner of the loss could affect the outcome unfavorably. However it doesn't
change the fact that he is sticking his neck out there.

Unfortunatly your fair conception of the debate isn't share by all
"audio" lovers.
Some of them seems more interested in the *nasty* story than in the
audio debate.
Bruce Richman pretend that Mr Atkinson has invited Arnold Krueger to
hold him accountable of Krueger's "paranoid" accusations.

Where you read discussion richman would like to read execution...

We are very far from audio, sad isn't it ?
