Art and Bill are doing nothing more than spreading Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) against Stereophile's competitors. Both web and print reviewers are implicated. We're apparently supposed to believe that Stereophile is the only ethical publication that readers should trust.
No names are given, so there is no way for anyone to check these accusations. Some readers will assume they know who he is talking about and mentally convict people who have no opportunity to defend themselves.
I think if you're going to throw dirt around about your competitors, make your accusations specific and be accountable for them. Posts like Art's diminish my opinion of Stereophile and PS Audio more than their intended targets.
