Jeff Dorgay & TONEAudio Declare War on CA

[joelha]

And people wonder why this industry struggles.

 

Yes, two-channel audio has suffered as a result of the technological developments making music playback mobile to be sure.

 

But behavior like Dorgay's doesn't help.

 

A civil phone call to Chris could have (maybe) accomplished so much more.

 

I'm sorry to say that exchange now colors my opinion of TONEAudio.

 

No one is the better for behavior like that.

Hi Joel - John Darko and I had a disagreement about his RSS feeds being published here. He suggested a phone call to which I agreed. 

 

We resolved the situation and remain friends. 

 

Hey Chris,

 

I've met John Darko and he seemed like a good guy.

 

And I know you're a very good guy.

 

That a phone call resolved everything doesn't surprise me.

 

Another reason to call?: When you e-mail your comments, you document them for others to see.

 

Sometimes, as in this case, not such a good idea.

It seems reasonably simple to me (though of course I could easily be wrong): I think Mr.  Dorgay was surprised to learn how RSS works.  By the time he realized the actual state of affairs, he likely felt he'd gone too far to take it all back.

 

You might be right, Jud, but it would be very classy on his part to step up and make the apology now.

 

I suspect many of us have been in a situation where we felt too uncomfortable to apologize.

 

I've certainly been there.

 

And it's because the situation is so uncomfortable that an apology now would be very admirable.

This is what a mensch says.  We'd be better off if more of us had a heart like yours.

 

That's (characteristically) nice of you, Jud. Consider the mensch compliment returned.

 

Thanks a lot.
