I agree with both Ted and Gunnar. Ted did the right thing by deleting personal attacks from the forum. He explained his position well. Gunnar started a new thread of his choosing that expresses his opinion well. That thread can only be deleted by Gunnar or the forum administration. A public forum is not the place to display a dislike for any other person. None of us wants to hear someone else's opinion of other people. We want to hear about music and primarily Technics products. And, just like a healthy work environment, we need a little diversion with humor and personal stuff about our forum friends from time to time.
