""[ I challenge any physicist on the planet to disagree with Tony's assertion that the laws of physics are inviolate. ]JE

""Are you really that naive?""JR

Nope..I work with the best ones..Ask them...I have..
And the best of them spend a lifetime trying to prove the laws wrong, or embellishing on them.. Some succeed, and are invited to Geneva. Others just add to the existing body of knowledge.

""What Tony was implying was that the "Laws of Physics" say that cables do not sound different""JR

What he SAID was physics does not correlate to price tag..YOU are the one assigning "implying" to his statement..

""If you are going to label the statements I made as personal attacks, then I suggest that what you want to write off as mere statements about the "Laws of Physics", and "just listening", etc. are also definitely in the category of attacks.""JR

The law of physics stuff was certainly not an attack..He said price tag didn't correlate to them...period..

Just listening, yep..that could be interpreted two ways..I chose to give him the benefit of the doubt...you didn't..obviously a difference of mindset and perspective.

""I find it odd that you will defend Tony, but want to hang me.""JR

You shouldn't..If he were to post that you had no understanding of what you were talking about, you obviously have no experience or education in these matters, I'd be all over HIM...But such was not the case..It was only you saying such of him..

If he posted incorrect info, I'd be up there correcting it. (assuming I see the thread of course.).

""By your definitions, either there were none, or some, but you can't have it both ways John.""JR

I'm not quite sure what you're saying here Jon..But I will react equally to denigration and put downs from either "side" as it were.

""Jon...you are abusing your position as moderator..I have asked you many times to rethink your position.. ]""JE
""How little you know with regard to the issue of moderating.""JR

I am aware that I wouldn't want to do it, as it is impossible to please everyone..But I do know that you post comments dissing people that a moderator SHOULD take exception to..and as you are the moderator, and you do not take exception to the dissing, then that is abuse of the system..Unless one of the rules of being a moderator allows such one way treatment.

"It is highly likely that anyone interested enough in the subject to take over for me would be much less tolerant of posts from the likes of Tony.""JR

In other words, you tolerate him so that you can tell everyone how little he knows??

""with his bizarre statements about "The Laws of Physics", which were clearly intended to denigrate""JR

He said the laws of physics are the same regardless of price tag..

YOU feel the same..You provide DIY solutions which you claim are better than the extremely priced product..So you are saying the exact same thing..Why you chose to take exception to Tony saying it is beyond me..

""Then, in point of fact, I posted a reply which attempted to explain some things to Tony""JR

Yes, Jon, we all read them...I pointed out six places where you dissed him..his understanding, his experience..That is supposed to be against the forum rules..

""it is probably that I have been too lenient ""JR

As I recall, the first time he said he doesn't believe cables sound different, quite civilly, I might add, you threatened him with censureship and banishment...I do not consider that as being "lenient".

""You may not realize it, but I receive numerous complaints with regard to the AR regulars posting here""JR

I'm sure you do..

As I'm sure the moderators at AR receive w/r to your postings over there..

I of course, make the assumption there is a moderator over there..although I've see no evidence to suggest it..

I look forward to a more even handed approach to moderating..and I certainly wouldn't relish the job..

TTFN, John
