    LOL! Kinda feel like my day today. I do a lot of integration at work, which means I have to moderate a lot of highly intelligent folks with strong opinions, and get them to agree.

    Body, Electrical, Chassis, Performance, you name it, all engineers putting their stake in the ground, so to speak, and not compromising. And Studio of course.

    My job is to develop a balanced solution. Not always easy.

    And not always successful! :)

    When I don't have a dog in the fight that's what I chose to do. Love it or leave it.

    As a member of this forum you most definitely have a dog in the fight. Unfortunately, it seems your statement is somewhat supportive of the posters actions, or, at least tolerant. Not a good side of the fence to be on, in my humble opinion.

    little furry monster that seems to win all the time at the dog shows.

    Kentucky. Well...that's where it gets used the most...at family reunions.

    As I stated, I didn't have a dog in the fight. Am I supposed to show loyalty for a senior member simply on their post count or active years?

    Taking up for a poster that's terrorizing the forum with the level of vulgarity that he/she has is the issue. If you take up for that person, and, go so far as to suggest they get free gear because of it, then you don't grasp the real issue. I don't care what your issue with Jesse is, that's not even in the zip code here, but to take up for someone that is posting incessant, crude posts, that could place the entire forum in jeopardy, is inexcusable. Has nothing to do with having a difference of opinion on an audio subject, it's much deeper than that.

    So... going after people you don’t like with slurs and horrible imagery is ok with you. Good to know.

    Funny thing is this... those very same people you despise so much would have been the very first to come to your defense if those attacks were directed at you. I would have done the same. The thing about this forum is that I don’t have to agree with you or even like you. You are on my ignore list. But if you happened to need help and I caught wind of it, we would help you. If you showed up at my door for a gathering, you would be welcomed, and treated like family.

    Think about that next time you defend the indefensible.
