I just posted this on Erics "apology".
"I find it hard to spot the sincerity in this.
It is an apology that starts with thanking for what amounts to support for the actions you claim to apologize for, as much as (if not more than) support for you as a person.
Then it proceeds to apologize for the reactions of others, rather than your actions.
It also excludes Amir by relegating him to 'others hurt or offended'.
Then finally, it goes on to justify the actions you claim to apologize for.
It's really not an apology at all. You're obviously sorry, but it does not appear you're sorry for what you did. You appear to be sorry for how the overwhelming majority of the audiophile community responded to your aggressive, threatening and bullying attacks.
I know owning up is hard. I have a couple of decades of professional experience in rehabilitation of offenders. I'm also a human being, and recognize this resistance in myself. Maybe giving it time can help. Entrenching yourself in your current position will certainly not."
I think I'll leave it at that. Now donated a little to both Erin and Amir/ASR. Your effort is highly appreciated, and the money I used to spend on the mainstream audio press can go to people like you.
