Two weeks after the "Great Debate", it is clearly John
Atkinson's
credibility that has taken the hit. As you say, "he
played, he lost".

Yes - the credibility hit he has taken with you four
idiots
is keeping him up at night.

Tom, apparently you're trying to explain Atkinson's
bedraggled appearance at the debate. He had some kind of
premonition that this was going to happen.

The rest of us can see that John
behaves like a gentleman and Arny behaves like a cowardly
nerd.

Really? You can say that even after the release of the
recording of the debate, which finishes up with Atkinson's
slightly quivering voice relievedly unilaterally calling an
end to the debate at the earliest possible opportunity?

Some have issues with John's position on methods
and conclusions, but retain respect for the man.

Why should John get any more respect than I?

Only you four idiots actually have any respect or pretend
to have
respect for Arny.

Good thing they apparently don't let you log onto
rec.audio.pro, Tom.

Perhaps you should google this thread:
