RIP Dave Wilson

condolences to his family.  He was surly a pioneer. Like his product for not, he was a trend setter and a master marketer.  He was able to build his label from scratch to a top name in all of audio.  I've only heard great things about the guy.  I met him on a few occasions and he was always a gentleman and educator.  He will be missed, but did the right thing in passing the business down a few years ago to Darrel who has them going in a positive direction still.  He will be missed by most in audio.

“Thank you David Wilson for making your speakers so expensive that only the 1% can afford them!”
”My apologies for my remarks....”

WOW I guess I’ve come up
in a different era. There is really no way to apologize for that remark.

RIP Dave Wilson I think?? is a thread to pay respects to a man who dedicated a big part of his life to audio.

Hey guys, we can all jump on someone who made an inappropriate, rude, or controversial comment.  I totally agree that people should behave in a civilized manner on the forums, and many do not.  However, the man who made the comment in question did add a thoughtful apology / retraction.  I think that is sufficient to cut him some slack.  Most people would not even do that, so I applaud the sincerity and the correction of a mistake.  Now if the rest of the forum using public would follow suit!  Anyway, no reason to pick on him further and distract from the topic of this thread.

+1 marktomaras I read the offending comment. It was wrong to post it. I read the apology. It was right to post it. It is the mature, appropriate thing to do after making a mistake. I wish I had done more of it in my life. I contend that two of the hardest things to do in life are 1) to sincerely apologize and seek forgiveness; and 2) to sincerely accept apologies and extend forgiveness. 
Peace
