Kim's response to my posting his "What is Ambient?" and calling it "drivel" was to mail me personally and attack me for criticizing him when I don't even know him. The old critic vs. artist schtick. I responded with "I don't know Stephen King either" and the response Kim sent me was what you saw quoted in the last message. Kim seems to feel that he is immune to criticism, but if he receives any he should respond offensively. He also can't draw the line between writing an article and an advertisement. The reason I redirected my last response to the lists again was to show what kind of person is running Silent, and why. Someone who apparently treats the non-music-producing consumer as the unwashed masses who have no intelligence of their own, is not someone who I would particularly want to support. The "Moby Idol" syndrome all over again.
