In Reply to: To Arnie's defense with an apology from the forum community on viridian's behalf to Bill posted by Ralph on January 31, 2012 at 13:50:18:
so feel free to circle the wagons. I stand by my judgement based on, as I said, my personal interaction. Everyone has had an interaction with someone, at some time, that left a bad taste in their mouth. For me it was clearly with Arnie and for others here I may be leaving a bad taste in their mouth with my posts.
As far as my belief that one should identify themselves when they have had a financial relationship as Bill has, there are certainly no rules to this effect, however it is my personal feeling that not doing so does bring one's motivations into question. Of course, others will feel differently, as Jim Smith has so clearly articulated, and that is fine as well. We can certainly agree to disagree, charity auctions and helping old ladies across the street aside.
Ralph, I have the greatest respect for you based on our exchanges on Audiogon, but hey, if you want me out of your club, just say the word. I really have no problem with it. And I will no longer post here. However, I would greatly appreciate it if, in future, you do not appologize on my behalf when I have no intention of appologizing for myself.
