nobody talks about BAT anymore?

I am in agreement on the postings that are completely ridiculous questions...when someone has a legitimate question, different story.

One other thing and I will leave it alone, I think all of this comes down to COMMON COURTESY, not that it has to do with anyone being thin skinned. It seems like everywhere you turn now common courtesy has been lost. I'm done, sorry if I took this thread over.

I sure hope that everyone doesn't agree with everything said on Audiogon. That would be downright boring! We ought to be able to distinguish vigorous debate from insults.

Good natured teasing is as much a part of this site as audio talk. Sometimes the forum is a bit rough but it is also equally helpful. Take the good with the bad and don't make yourself a victim.

I count myself among the many, many, many here who love Marty's (Viridian) posts! He always lends an incredibly funny and witty perspective to things, and he's as knowledgeable as any audiophile I know.

Please try to see the humor in what he posts. There is often some sarcasm there, but it never fails to be hysterical. We can all stand to lighten up, after all, laughter is the best medicine.

Marty, PLEASE don't ever change.

By the way, I'm still talking about Defender - does that have any bearing?
