Don't under estimate the influence Ferstler can pull. |

That Krooger is a lying sack of **** who is completely petrified at the idea of trying his "debating trade" garbage in the real world. Do you really need more proof of that, or did you just want Lord Atkinson to admit he's fed up with Krooger's krapola? Well, you see, Arny's a bit of a PITA here and his debating style is attrocious, but the fact is, behind all of that personality conflict with you crap is a moderate amount of actual science. If he's forced to, he can bury you in actual statistics and facts. The outdated but technically well done audio card reviews are proof of that. So be careful what you wish for - you just might get him to give a damn and decide to school you. |

He knows enough to sound knowledgeable to a newbie, but he drives the experts crazy with his misinformation. That's when he starts employing his debating trade tricks to try to climb out of hole he has dug for himself. Couple that with the fact that Arny is constantly doing research on the Internet to back himself up. Confronted with a live format with no such resources, Arny would collapse like a house of cards. It is that reason alone why Arny will never debate JA in public. Boon |

More science by accident than you've ever done here on purpose, Obie. If he's forced to, he can bury you in actual statistics and facts. No force required. When it comes to audio posts, even relative lightweights like you Obie bury Middius way over his head. The outdated but technically well done audio card reviews are proof of that. Well thank, you. So be careful what you wish for - you just might get him to give a damn and decide to school you. Not a chance - Middius is a hopeless case. |

If you notice carefully, he gets buried in arguments with real engineers as soon as they get into any depth in a certain subject. Given what a technical flyweight that you are Phillips, how would you even know? He knows enough to sound knowledgeable to a newbie, but he drives the experts crazy with his misinformation. More like the truth - I drive the pathetic excuses for experts that seem to drop in here crazy by correcting their misinformation. That's when he starts employing his debating trade tricks to try to climb out of hole he has dug for himself. ...and on the radical subjectivist side, we've got JBorg, showing us all how to forge posts. Couple that with the fact that Arny is constantly doing research on the Internet to back himself up. As compared to the personal orifice that you do your research in, Phillips? Confronted with a live format with no such resources, Arny would collapse like a house of cards. It is that reason alone why Arny will never debate JA in public. zzzzzzzzzzzzz! |

Some conspiracy theory :-) Er, no, Sander, that's not what I meant to imply. It's just that Scull comes to mind whenever large volumes of snake oil are seen. Did you ever read his "review" of Mpingo Discs in Stereopile (--that spelling is intentional). Has anyone seen hide or hair of Scull since his fat,spamming butt got run off of RAO? Is he still with Monster? |

You mean you still haven't figured out the Krooborg is a gigantic retard, and you need to see him eviscerated by Lord Atkinson in order to understand it? Here's a hint for you: No way in hell will Mr. **** get anywhere near a real debate against an audio guy of John Atkinson's caliber. LOL, the list of Atkinson's technical errors makes him a .22 next to Arny's quad 50. Any day now, the BS and excuses will start pouring forth from the Michigan Hive. You'll see irrational and unjustifiable demands, or the usual "debating trade" attempts to deny reality, or risible attempts to impute "lies" and "deceptions" where none have actually occurred. Or all of the above. You might be living in denial of what the Krooborg is, but you're in a small minority. The reality is, he knows more about audio than Atkinson has learned. |

I think Robert is well qualified to record and produce the multimedia event. And to do so with clean hands.

![]() "John Atkinson" wrote Because the thead in which I invited Arny Krueger to debate me in New York next May was getting cluttered, I have reposted the relevant messages here. For Mr. Krueger's and my convenience, please post any further comments on this proposed debate in this thread. Arny Krueger responded to my invitation on December 7, in message "Of course that's a long way from home, but let's see if I can put something together." The ball is thus in his court. John Atkinson Editor, Stereophile OK, you've kicked the tires. What is the substance and motivation of your offer, really? Are you prepared to enter into an enforcable written agreement? Obviously, you cannot consummate any agreement between hostile parties on USEnet. "No restrictions on what subjects", "let's see if I can put something together"... of course neither of you really mean what you're offering. I don't see how you can say that, Mr. Powell. If he accepts my invitation, I will provide Mr. Krueger with a public forum, specifically a lecture room with an audience, to debate me on any subject either of us thinks appropriate. "either of us thinks appropriate"... so this wouldn't necessarily be an unilateral agreement (Law, pertaining to a contract in which obligation rests on one party only), right? You said, "No restrictions," that would mean that Arny doesn't require your approval of his agenda, no? Which is it, censorship (your approval) or autonomy for Arny? As I said, I also think it appropriate for both us to take questions from the audience. And as I also said, I will pay Mr. Krueger's expenses, specifically a return coach air ticket from Detroit and 2 nights accommodation in the Show hotel. Fine, great idea. It would be appropriate for you to have a Talent Contract (work for hire) with Arny. And if your offer is sincere there should also be a hold harmless addendum shielding Arny from any concerns that the incident could be used to advance a litigation. You've often alluded to litigation in past posts. And since you also mentioned recording the spectacle, it should be made public that the multimedia format you intend to release is “fair use and royalty free” to anyone. Oh, and let's not forget the money. He turned down $1K last time. Seems like you should step up to the plate with some real money this time, if you expect your offer to be taken seriously. All this I think reasonable. I see no reason why this debate could not take place next May along the lines I have suggested. "Reasonable"... no two people can agree on what that constitutes. It usually requires 12 opened minded people confined to a tiny little room ![]() In a debate with Arny, how can you assure Arny/anyone that your representation will be forthright and not just representing the interest of your employer, your first duty? I don’t think your handlers want a loose cannon on stage or negative repercussions afterwards... so what makes this offer legitimate and not merely a dog and pony show or just a R.A.O. stunt to kick-the-tires again (1999 Debacle )? |

Is this a "yes," Mr. Krueger? I'm just asking for clarification, because once you give me a definite positive answer, I have to commit to a not-inconsiderable expenditu the meeting room cost, your round-trip plane fare, and your hotel room cost. (For yours and my convenience I posted my invitation to you in message .com) But as I said earlier, I am not pressuring you for a commitment either way right now. The deadline will be early February, because after that it will be difficult for me to get the debate/discussion/whatever you wish to call it included in the show program.

I don't want the recording made public. Correction and apology. I now remember what you're talking about. Yes, I did make a small excerpt available on the web, with my speaking parts noised out. Arnii had flatly denied that the recording existed, and so I put up a clip to prove him wrong. IIRC, he denied the voice was his own--yet anyone who believes him (Mikey, but any others?) could easily confirm the authenticity of the recording by calling Arnii and speaking to him. He has a ... distinctive voice, shall we say. -- td Aoology accepted. Yes, your account is the same as my recollection of the post. Your voice was not heard on the clip posted on RAO. Bruce J.
