Both sides in the argument made a number of really good points.
I found myself switching sides several times.
Unfortunately, the name-calling made it a pretty unpleasant experience to read.
I can only imagine what it was like for you guys.
Without trying to be holier-than-thou (because I'm not), could everyone try to disagree in an amicable fashion?
The personal insults poison the well.
It's particularly tragic because you all have some powerful insights.
I think part of the problem - whether we're talking about acoustics, blood-spatter, medicine or firearms - is that

"defense whore".

Bill, sadly it's the nature of this critical community. And always has been. (Excuse me as I am a lawyer
On a different note I have been told you are being put down on another forum. Your work that is.
The "new one" where you are not permitted to mention DPF. (This was told to me.) And I hear I am ridiculed on Greg Parker's forum. I don't go there.

It has been brought to my attention by an extremely reliable source that that the claims that I am being "ridiculed at Greg Parker's forum" are unfounded. PLEASE, if someone is going to email or PM me making such a claim provide proof. Seem I may owe Greg an apology.

Also I am off to court but glanced at Greg's most recent post and it should be approved. I need to dig out the directions to do this and have to leave shortly for court.
