It's funny that Bob is trying to call me a dishonest reviewer. His
use of the word "dishonest" is very misleading.

First of all, Bob can't call me a dishonest reviewer, because he
hasn't read any of my reviews. Bob thinks I'm a "reviewer for
Furious.com." In reality, I write a column for them on how to get
back into vinyl, and what's going on in that world. I don't even do
reviews for Perfect Sound Forever (not "Furious.com"). I basically
talk about my own experiences while continuing to listen to vinyl
(something Bob has stated he has no interest in doing). If I'm being
somehow dishonest about my experiences in listening to vinyl, I'd like
to see Bob provide an example.

Secondly, this whole incident started because Bob made a dishonest
statement. In the world of audio reviewers (especially among amateur
reviewers on websites and discussion forums), it is common to see
comments such as "this $2000 amplifier blows away all $10,000
amplifiers." Then you ask that person, "Well, how many $10,000
amplifiers have you had in your system?" If they're honest, the
answer is usually "Well, none." And then the response is "Well, you
don't know what you're talking about then, do you." And often that
person becomes angry because their position becomes unsupportable and
their credibility has taken a huge hit. Often they lash out angrily
because this is indeed the Internet.

This is what happened to Bob. He made a list of his favorite SS amps
from the '80s and said they sounded as good, if not better, than the
best amps available today. When asked which of the best amps has Bob
tried in his own system, he imploded. He mentioned having heard
something over a friend's house, or something to that effect. In
other words, when Bob made his statement about today's amplifiers, he
was being dishonest.

I know most of you are pretty sick of this. I know most of you don't
take Bob seriously. But I have a problem in that I am a professional
reviewer, and I pride myself on being an honest one. It bothers me
that someone can do a Google search on my name and have Bob's
ridiculous and dishonest comments pop up. So I do want to state for
the record that when I do review a component, I listen and report what
I hear...nothing more. At my magazine (which is NOT "furious.com"),
we've established a reputation for that. I just don't want a
dishonest person such as Bob affecting that.

We've worked hard to build this magazine. It doesn't seem fair that
Internet crackpots such as Robert Morein can inflict damage to it.

It's funny that Bob is trying to call me a dishonest
reviewer. His use of the word "dishonest" is very
misleading.

The serious question is which one of you is more clueless.

Gee, Arny...I've noticed you cozying up to Bob again. I guess you
have a lot to teach him about being a pariah.

Note to Bob: If you choose to go down the Kroo-path, take my advice: AVOID
THE FECES! Look what Krooger's addiction has done to him.

I'd say Bob is already up to his knees.

Fact of the matter Marc is that you periodically humiliate yourself here so
badly that you don't post again for weeks and months.

Nope, not a fact at all. It's just what you tell yourself to pump up
your deflated ego.

You've been doing it for years. Problem is, you haven't figured out
that posting on Usenet every day for years and years is a bad thing,
and that you shouldn't brag about it.
