It's amazing to me that the writer of that piece walked away with the conclusion that Eric Alexander was in the right.



I don't think you read the piece?

> My overarching sense is that this whole saga has been largely Mr. Alexander’s fault and it could have been easily avoided.

> Alexander has dropped the Mother Of All Bombs on this situation, displaying disrespect towards the reviewing industry, and regarding reviewers as trivial annoyances that can be easily brushed aside. The outcome of this saga and who will ultimately withstand the fallout remains to be seen, but Mr. Alexander almost certainly looks like an ass at this moment in time, and in my opinion, any negative assessment he receives is largely self-inflicted.


I believe they're referring to this bit:

>There’s no doubt in my mind that Eric Alexander of Tekton Design is largely in the right, and in principle, challenging these reviewers was mostly justified.

The next sentence is revealing though:

>The problem, and the reason we’re here now dwelling on it, is how he went about it.

I'm not sure if I understand the first of the quotes, honestly, given the rest of the content. But that seems to be what GP was referencing.


Just about everyone on YT as well as online sided with the reviewer because Tekton were being ridiculous.


I remember seeing his posts on ASR. Some really fun stuff like how the air coming out of the screw holes for the feet would produce a supersonic boom; in a ported enclosure. Wildly entertaining.
