has taken a sudden turn for the worse. Bret Ludwig has
chosen to post long and often in favor of subjects abhorrent to many:
racism, Hitler apologies, etc. I on the other hand continue to write cogent
discussions on my booming professional audio career. The subjects Mr.
Ludwig discusses, and his advocacies, are related to white supremacism, war,
and genocide of unimaginable scale throughout human history. While I cannot
say I know that Mr. Ludwig is a monster, there is something quite horrible
lurking in his heart, perhaps sharing space with better emotions.

In what I am about to suggest, I considered the pain it might cause Mr.
Ludwig, as opposed to allowing to be overtaken by hate
speech and the reaction to it. Furthermore, my suggestion is merely a
suggestion. Rather than tell you this is the only right thing to do, I
respect the decision of each participant in . with respect to this
matter as the right choice for that person.

So here it is: Do not respond to Mr. Ludwig on any subject save audio.
Resist the temptation to engage him, because for him, engagement is a kind
of confirmation. Allow him to reign undisturbed over a domain of silence.
Eventually, time will form a capsule over him like a fly in amber.

Please think about this and decide if it is right for you.
