it's undisputed that many thousands of dollars worth of Nordost cables on loan to Valin went "missing" including a set that turned up on Audiogon. Rightly or wrongly, Hansen cut all ties with TAS because he was unsatisfied with how Harley handled the issue (it's been years since Ayre has placed an ad or submitted gear for review). I suppose it's arguable whether TAS is corrupt (I guess it depends on how credible you think Valin's "moving" story is), but I don't see how Hansen was "trolling" TAS. Up until that point, his gear had been favorably reviewed by TAS. What would be gained by "trolling"? As I see it, Hansen's decision to part ways with TAS has come at no small cost: Valin has used his bully-pulpit to take pot-shots at Ayre and Ayre lost all visibility in the 2nd largest US audio magazine.
Follow Ups:
When Charles Hanson posts "TAS is corrupt" (no reasons given), that's not a troll, but when Sprezza Tura posts Stereophile skewers non advertisers (spurious reasons given) that is a troll?

Did you not read my post or any posts in the linked thread? Or, maybe, you're talking way over my head?
I have not accused Sprezza of trolling, simply opined that his evidence of Stereophile only giving bad reviews to non-advertisers to be incomplete, at best. So, not sure why you added that bit.
You never read a post by Charles Hanson that stated "TAS is corrupt" and stopped there? You may have missed the follow up. Me: Could you explain the corruption? Charles: I wasn't thinking of anything specific. Or another. Charles: TAS writers are corrupt. Me: That's interesting, what about these TAS writers? Charles: I have nothing against those writers.
It doesn't make any difference what the background story is, or what "everybody knows", and so on. Those individual posts were trolls.
