I think, as with the TAS/JV cable debacle, it is worthwhile for Stereophile to distinguish itself from media with dubious ethics.

Yeah, but doing so by publishing a piece which one might call of 'dubious ethics' itself might not be the best way to do it.
The TAS/JV cable debacle was a specific accusation against a specific publication. Since it was specific, that made it possible for Robert Harley and Tom Martin to respond, regardless of whether anyone found the response convincing.The problem with the ambiguous accusations is that it's impossible for anyone to respond to them. Charles Hanson used to publish statements that TAS was corrupt, full stop. When you asked him whether this reviewer was corrupt or that reviewer was corrupt (and I did, here) he would respond that he had nothing against those particular reviewers. When you asked him if he was thinking of a specific case of corruption (and I did), he would reply that he didn't have anything specific in mind. Since Charles lost the court action taken by TAS, he's now suggesting that "other publications" [other than Stereophile] are corrupt. Which in my mind is worse.
It's extremely unfair to do this, it makes it impossible for the target of the accusations to respond. If you're going to say something, make it specific.
I'm very disappointed with the moderators that they allow this.

Allow what?
To post a link and comment on a piece on the Stereophile web site?
Your complaint should be directed to Stereophile, not the original poster or the Moderators of this board.
Not disagreeing with that!
My point was a little more tangential, disappointment that the moderators continue to allow ambiguous accusations of corruption to be made here, including when the supposed offender is not named but everybody knows who is meant. Admitted this may not be the most appropriate sub thread to make it.

To me, throwing this kind of innuendo around about your competitors makes me question Stereophile's ethics.

I hear you, but why not shut keep your mouth shut, keep your nose to the grind stone and lead by example..
America likes to proclaim over and over we are the most progressive nation on earth, yet 83 other countries have elected female leaders aside from us.
BTW, call me nuts, but I sort of believe JV's excuse for that cable debacle.
...JV's excuse may or may not be valid but I have heard other instances of his where his ethics were missing.
Sure, I did not say his ethics were not questionable..they may or may not be..I just said his excuse was fairly believable. It may not be true either.
