In Reply to: Example of how an angry restaurant owner will use character attacks to refute a review -- similar to many of your posts posted by Richard BassNut Greene on February 23, 2007 at 08:23:22:
My editor keeps asking me to contribute.clark
PS Actually I do have a degree in physics, two decades of employment in imaging science, an interest in hi-fi that began in grade school and a lifelong love of music. Plus, I wrote the only non-how-to book on audio. I realize these qualifications are modest by your standards.
Follow Ups:
Indeed!And I intend to *continue* to ask Clark to contribute for as long as he enjoys writing for Positive Feedback Online. I consider him to be a superb essayist...one of the very best in fine audio.
But definitely not a "reviewer"! A thousand times no!
;-)
Does this mean Clark has asked you to be a reviewer a thousand times and you have said "no" a thousand times?Just want to clarify the unusual wording.
Didn't you star in Lost in Space on TV before you got into audio.
I do know first hand about Clark's mighty pen, as he came up with such a classic insult in response to one of my posts yesterday ... that it may take me 15 or 20 minutes to come up with an equally good put-down in reply.

I mean one negative enough to significantly hurt sales of the product?What product (s)?
From CJ in Positive Feedback issue 16: The Biggest News You May Ever Read (About Audio)"And now I give you RealityCheck™ CDs, It’s perhaps not the greatest name in the world. Maybe you prefer BetterBit Technology™, BetterBits for Better Sound™, NanoBit Ultralog™, or Reprocessing with Bezier Curve Re-Algorization™? All those are employed by the discoverer of this phenomenon, who is nothing if not careful to tie up loose ends. He is—George Louis (no relation) in San Diego...."
I particularly like the "nothing if not careful to tie up loose ends" bit. George Louis -- of "polarity" post fame on General -- is of course well known for tying up loose ends....endlessly.

I'm fine with whatever ya wanna say about gear, but what you write are not "reviews?"Some examples:
"Earlier I reported on Gordon Lewis’ silver interconnects imaginatively called The Perfect Foil. And I liked them very much. Having now compared these to stiffer competition (which shall remain nameless, sorry!), that impression is reinforced. Also I remarked that his speaker cables seemed promising, although I had only heard the lesser version. Today, however, I own the middle level "AG#4" which consists of four-per-run fine-grade silver foils floating loosely in tubes (i.e., in an air dielectric, very important I think). And they are very, very good."
Here, you even call yourself a "reviewer:"
"Currently I am enamored of silver foil and even of silver rod sometimes, and this multi-silver-foil air-dielectric cable from Lewis Laboratories is performing magnificently for me. In fact it has displaced my long-regarded (in audio temporal terms anyway) Synergistic Designer Reference — still a great cable for bass — but overall, and especially in the "vital midrange" as we parrot reviewers like to say, it can’t command the candlepower to illuminate the music equally."
More...
"That said, the Dangles are Lloyd’s own and very much worth (at this time) the price asked, $295 the pair. Or put it this way: their impact surpasses many speaker cable upgrades that cost one or two thousand more."
All apologies if you were kidding, but you seem to write "reviews" and call yourself a "reviewer" alot.

Are you also a politician or something?;)

Nice flip flop!

I've received my share of 'slightly negative' reviews.So what DO you write about and where can we read it?
This may lead to a new opinion about you ...
(or better "ammunition" to hurl back at you)

More than a little bit of projection there methinks.
I'm so disappointed, especially after hearing that just about any bait would get you all riled up.
