Depending on how damaging this may have been to sales, I think I'd go after it as well.

This must be the thing to do these days. One of the local DA prosecutors had several on-line aliases and was badmouthing the clients he defended in court - cost him his job and the DA's office is looking at prosecuting him.

Dakkon, to get back on point, you are correct, if we stop providing input on other forums people can get misinformation from people like Jbally. I used to frequent AVS long before I heard about Axiom. Once I became an Axiom owner, AVS was not a bad place to hang out. There was a lot of good conversation from both sides. Move forward a few years and I just got tired of trying to defend issues. There were a few people that cast a few posts on reasons they didn't like Axiom, and that is ok. Enter the trolls that have other agendas and never go away.

It is not constructive or good for the industry. Most manufacturers have respect for each other and mingle at product shows. This is how everone grows. It is unfortunate that one of those so called professionals would stoop to this type of tactics. I'm sure it goes on more than we know.

All the respect I used to have for the many reviews on Audioholics just got flushed down the old toilet. However, I guess that is not fair for the others that provided articles on that site.

Same here. I have always found Audioholics a very educational place. The go to site for reviews, articles, commentary (controversial or not). I even received a pleasant PM from Gene at this forum under Gene DellaSalla a few years ago.

This is just bizarre and if true destroys his integrity and that of the website. There is a line crossed when you are "in the industry". And I ALWAYS liked Audioholics and supported them on this forum. These are the type of things you learn about that make me want to drop this hobby all together.

Man that's wild about Gene, I never thought somebody in his position would have stooped so low.

What an idiot.

Makes me even more glad that I am a part of the Axiom community.

This really doesnt surprise me in the least. It's sad when someone has an agenda and they hide behind their keyboard.I don't think anyone with a sound mind will read what is at the bluray forum and not see it for what it is. I read it,and i find it quite obvious what the writers intentions are. Furthermore ian, at the very least i would seek council to find out what my options were in regards to slander.Sometime's the best response is none at all. A simple counter reaction is to post ourselve's on those thread and extole the axiom brand virtues.

What we know so far is that the originating IP is Audioholics. The identity of the idiot remains to be determined.

If this were politics, there would be an underling under the bus in short order. I don't know if that's funny, sad or both.
