An Apology

I received a private message from a Polk member yesterday that made me rethink and regret some of my past comments.
I clearly regret some of my personnel comments to members of the Polk Club. Negative personnel comments to Polk members serve me no purpose, make people angry and will escalate negative feelings. The goal of the Forum in my opinion is to share information about the enjoyment of music and video.
Please except my apology and I promise not to engage in personnel comments or attacks in the future even in retaliation.
However, I will still continue to use my back ground in science and audio to comment on posts in this forum. I am 62 years old and have seen many well engineered and crazy topics and items for sale in audio and video. If I think I smell a rat I will tell you. All members should be able to ask questions and give positive and negative feedback on any topic in a civilized polite manner.

Sounds like a good plan to me Peter.

Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

Peter - 62? I'm 67 and a late bloomer at all of this and NO background in anything electrical.

Peter we should all follow that advise as many are guilty of the same thing on occasion. It gets heated sometimes but resisting the urge to just start hurling insults is a good practice to follow.
H9"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!
