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.
