[Steve Mullen] Ron Lindeboom said: ""It matters little who is right or wrong in this. I have long argued online that facts are of little consequnce, as 'perception is everything in a marketing war.'" Since there is a written record of what happened in the past -- it can be easily checked. But since you don't care about "facts" there's little point in wasting the time diggerng them out."


Steve:

Mark Twain said it best: "There are liars, damned liars -- and then there are statiticians." I am NOT calling you a liar but I do believe that it has been quite clear for some time that you do NOT treat Sony with the same degree of respect that you do JVC, for example.

What you consider indelible fact, is not seen as indelible fact by all of those present here. We have been getting mail for weeks from people asking Kathlyn why you have it out for Sony and is that our "official" site policy. Some say that they feel as if you are a college professor lecturing and talking down to your audience and that the only passing grade in this class is the one that agrees with your own interpretation.

The point I am making, Steve, is that so much of this is subjective -- thus, the Mark Twain reference -- and you are as clearly "pro JVC" as Leo Ticheli is "Pro Panasonic." There is NOTHING wrong with that, but it is rather disingenuous to assert that there has been a LEVEL playing field here in this forum where the facts simply do not bear that out.

But that is just my interpretation of the "facts" and those that disagree are more than welcome to their own interpretation of the irrefutable and incontrovertibly obvious facts of all this. (pun intended) ;o)
