I was referring to a private email exchange that occurred a few years after I joined TAS. You felt the need to let me know that I wasn't Sterephile worthy and never would be. You called me a B-list writer and said that included everyone else at TAS save for Harley and HP.
The whole episode was precipitated by a comment I made about no female writers at Stereophile. There was a thread going on at the time about Stereophile writers all being middle-aged and balding - or something to that effect. My comment was friendly in nature, or so I thought. I never expected such a rude response from the editor of the magazine.
Turns out Harley wasn't such a nice guy either. The weasel comment was intended for him. I actually did give him a chance to part ways on good terms. He didn't have the stones to be honest.
And now back to having fun.
