In fairness to Audiokarma, they're not used to hosting threads that grow to 10 pages long over the course of several days. Must've been all hands on deck over there.
Audiokarma appears to have deleted their entire thread, "Youtube Reviewer Threatened With Legal Action Over Speaker Review."
It was at 12 pages yesterday. This morning it's gone.
I guess they really have a bug up their digital butt over there about the high quality, quantitative work ASR is...
I've obtained this exclusive picture of Eric Alexander in the TekTon Design Control Room, as he struggles to keep up with the flood of social media posts condemning his online behavior, while he simultaneously conference calls with his sock puppets to direct their responses.

Washington State residents can obtain an Antiharassment Protection Order (AHPO) as follows:

One potential pitfall is that engineering types may be willing to preemptively give up/negotiate away rights that journalists already have, which the engineers are unaware of.

Eric Alexander states that Stereophile shows their reviews to the company being reviewed IN ADVANCE OF PUBLICATION!!
Wrecking ball Eric has let something out of the bag that I'm sure Jim Austin would rather have kept private. (Eric is so off the beam that he's now hurting his SUPPORTERS!)

Did anyone read Atkinson's somewhat passive-aggressive comment, which is in the discussion beneath the SP Moab review?
He writes: "... a 1990s Supreme Court opinion held that an opinion expressed by a recognized authority on a subject might not necessarily have First Amendment protection, the...
