Everyone: ML is trolling us.  And the fact that this thread even exists means he has succeeded.

 

Please stop feeding the troll!

I disagree in that he has not succeeded. I did post a response on Audiostream yesterday re: his being banned for explicit rude profanity. My post stayed up for an indeterminate period of time and then was taken down.

 

And Firedog, I hear what you're saying but they also say that, under Mussolini, the trains ran on time.

 

 If I were Chris I'd contact John Atkinson and inform him of the circumstances surrounding ML being banned (followed  by his cowardly, trollish response on Audiostream in which he also purposely left out the fact that he had PM'ed a forum member to "Go f*** your mother") and let JA decide if this is the kind of lowlife that Stereophile wants to be associated with.

fyi, there are no responses posted on his site. I assume that all response have been anti-ML and, thus, deleted by ML. Clearly, no disagreement or dialogue wanted. Of course, if he did own up to what he did and allow any dialogue in this instance, he would almost certainly lose his sponsors along with his gig with Stereophile. Using his Audiostream soapbox he's unafraid to troll CA(from which Chris Connaker makes his living), but he's afraid to risk his own sponsors by allowing posts stating opposing viewpoints. What a coward.

Hi Guys - Michael and I have exchanged emails this afternoon. I don't believe I'll be receiving a holiday card from him this year. 

Send him a fruitcake.

So all propaganda and lies. Resonates with the current political climate here in the US. End of political statement. I return you now to Computer Audio.

 

BTW, I also made a factual reply which was deleted, along with me being banned from Audiostream.
