Audiophiles that don't take everything they read with respect to this hobby with a grain of salt get what they deserve. Having read a bit of both what you and Salvatore write, I can only conclude that I'd certainly apply a larger grain to your writing (actually, I find Salvatore's site to be a very interesting source of information with no commercial agenda, which is pretty refreshing) now even more re-inforced by this transparent shilling of your "new DVD". "Toiling" as a reviewer? "Devoted" a big column (as Salvatore points out a few years late)? Buying that jazzy table at "parts cost"?Frankly, your post is pretty tasteless and not doing much for your cause. You should quit while you're ahead (or is that behind?).

Follow Ups:
"shilling?" Do you know what the word means? I can't "shill" for my own labors you idiot. EXCUSE me for promoting a project I INVESTED MY OWN TIME AND MONEY IN to produce. Excuse me!!!!!! EXCUSE ME for not reviewing gear on Arthur Salvatore's schedule. EXCUSE me for defending myself against baseless libelous charges. I mean, how about this: how'z about if I call you a pedophile?. Would that be okay with you? Based on your idea that I should roll over when Arthur Salvatore calls me corrupt, that would be fine with you, right? RIGHT??????
and EXCUSE ME for saying that my job is "toiling." And EXCUSE ME for getting a turntable at "parts cost," and you can't. I mean, please attack Arthur Salvatore for getting stuff at wholesale, why don't you?????? and finally EXCUSE ME for defending my reputation you retard...oh, and now say that for me being pissed off at a butthead like you I'm "unprofessional."

...for you, or anyone who acts like you. You’ve done nothing but prove again and again to increasing with every post and with increasing degree that you are terribly immature, and quite possible psychotic. If you feel you’ve been libeled, sue, although after your performance here, I doubt you find any court of sympathy.I really have a very hard time believing that you are a professional reviewer and not some troller assuming your name on this board. Is the real Mike Fremer standing up, here?

I see. I should just lie back with my legs in the air and take it. Well you know what? I don't care if someone disagrees with my opinions. Opinions are just opinions. Everyone's entitled to them, but if your definition of "professional," is to be called "corrupt," "a liar," a "shill," a "phoney" and all the rest, and just sit back and take it, well then I guess I'm not a "professional." Fortunately for me, my definition of "professional" does NOT include being a pincushion for PRICKS.I received an email today from a reader showing me that Salvatore's delusional rant was still in public view. FACTS show that the rant was wrong. Yet many of the respondents here today feel it's okay for me to be called corrupt and worse, and have my integrity called into question because Salvatore got to the Shelter cartridges before me.
Well guess what? My definition of "professional" tells me I stand up for myself. I am sure that no matter what I said or did you'd attack me. So if Salvatore attacks and libels me, that's okay with you. And if defend myself, I'm "unprofessional."

I think you better pull out the meds and have a few cocktails with Big Andy before you blow a gasket. Try and take a few aspirin and a big glass of water before you hit the sack and check back in the morning.
