When is John going to wake up and fire your ass?!You are completely disrepectful to the very people that subscribe to the magazine that employs you.
Between your behavior, and that of the ultra liberals, Art and Mikey, I have cancelled my subscription to the magazine you work for.
I prefer to get my stereo information from a site that does not insult my intelligence.John, are you watching what is going on here?!!!
Or, maybe the owners of Stereophile need to start the firings at the top and work down.
Art and Mikey are just reasonable middle-of-the-road gents.if you think they're ultra-liberal, why, that must make you . . . .
I must be in the stratosphere somewhere.
John is a fruitcake himself. His weekly email was all about the recent Times Article. It must be nice to be able to offend at least half of your customers and get away with it. Regardless of right or wrong, John really needs to keep his subjective political arguments out of an auido magazine. Merry Christmas John.
Happy Holidays, by John Atkinson
I know politics has very little to do with high-end audio, but it's been hard to remain focused on audio matters in a week when I learned that the President first admitted authorizing domestic wiretapping of US citizens without a warrant, then vowed to continue the practice. I will merely note that while Presidents both Republican and Democratic have often wanted such powers, as guardians of the US Constitution they are wrong to act on that want. To quote the Fourth Amendment: "no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." And to quote Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" (as reprinted by Wikipedia).

That may be your opinion, Ozzie, that but that does not give you the
right to reprint the piece here. The Asylum's rule is unambiguous. No
posting of other's copyrighted material withut permission. I am
therefore requesting the Bored to delete both your posting and this response.
If you wish to read and thus be upset what I write, you need either to
buy the magazine, subscribe to our (free) newsletter, or visit our
free-access site (www.stereophile.com). I fail to grasp why that is
such a hardship for the inmates.

...the same person who writes for Stereophile could be responsible for the vulgar trash I've seen posted under your name here at Audio Asylum. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I think I will let them know just to be sure. Now get out of my life and go away little man.

I didn't believe it could be, until I did a search on his posts.
A search on his IP address shows links you to everyone in the NE who uses AOL. Sudden confusion, eh? Nope.Sam's moniker is protected, so someone with the intent would have had to unwittingly stumble onto his password.......a process that would take countless, countless hours......all for the purpose of posting something that mundane.
...
Nobody even insulted him yet in this thread, did they?He started this one, just like Big Andy always does - except the latter is really funny while being crude and insulting.

Open Your Ears....
I can't believe the comment is really from Sam. Someone's trying to embarass him... What I find shocking is so many people seem ready to take the post seriously. Sam would have to be a fool to make such a comment.. and Sam doesn't strike me as a fool.
That's what I thought as well. But then I did a search on this poster's previous entries (open his post, click on his name, then click on "posts"). I came to the conclusion that he is the real guy. As stated below, it's possible that this one post was a fake, but many of his posts are similar - if someone was using Sam's name as a fake moniker it would have been exposed a long time ago.I for one would welome Sam - or anyone from S-Phile - stepping forward to clarify the situation if this wasn't really Sam.
but what I can't stand or understand is how less vitriolic posts get deleted.
Just think how much of it is round the ear region.When I saw the pic of Tom G at phile. I thought it was a cruel joke could anyone realy be that ugly? It brought to mind the apearance of a bloated wood tick.

We thought your writing was bad enough.BTW, you need to carry around some breath fresheners.
Happy Holidays!
We can know he is not a dry drunk, for sure.

Sour grapes from Sam the Shill. nt
I think this is a great website and the sour comments below are out of place.
This site is a great service, and has really helped me to enjoy my audio pursuits (which in turn has helped my quality of life). I'm proud to donate to Audio Asylum.
