In Reply to: Ralph my feelings are based on direct e-mail communications with Arnie....... posted by viridian on January 31, 2012 at 15:21:03:
Well I see it a little differently. The audiogon thing has been a debacle, with it being clear that the kids trying to 'renovate' the site are clearly in over their heads. So I know there are a lot of upset people out there surrounding this matter. However I just don't see that Bill was deserving of your attack- we can all afford to be cordial. And as you have pointed out, you were not planning an apology, so it appeared that someone would have to step up to the plate.
Years ago I was attacked by Stereophile (related to the reviewer rolling bad tubes into one of our products and then commenting on it as if the resulting malfunction was part of the normal operation of the unit). I was heartened by the fact that a good number of other publications apologized on Stereophile's behalf. When things get tense, or if the wool has been pulled over the eyes of a number of people (and in this case, what I mean is that that we are probably not going to get the whole picture of what went down at audiogon), sometimes its just better to maintain decorum when dealing with those that are left standing and quite possibly holding the bag.
I think this is one of those times. It seems obvious that audiogon's day in the sun is rapidly coming to an end, and there are bad feelings all over. Collectively we need to take a deep breath and move on; I'm not taking you to task on being a bad person, just that we need to be easy on each other. I know people that made their living on that site that are now dead in the water. Its just a sad, stupid and avoidable situation but what is done seems to be done, unless a miracle occurs. In the absence of such we simply have to be nice to each other.
