I think @fmalitz Frank's post is highly appropriate given the malicious nature of clearthink's post. If clearthink has an attorney, his or her advice would be to make an unconditional apology and take responsibility for saying something so false and blatantly careless. He might, just might, be forgiven. I actually thought Frank's post was infused with a genuine kindness and his repeated apologies lend credibility.
Its ok to not like something, its not ok to lie and fabricate. I'm actually glad Audiogon hasn't taken it down. Its important for our community to stand for something and clearthink's post crosses the lines of good taste at a minimum and certainly crosses the legal threshold of not if clearthink will owe damages but how much he will owe in damages. The longer he waits to make this right, the deeper in the excrement he will find himself.
