In reality you are comparing apples to oranges, yet I will answer you in full.

Whether you are a customer of a company that is performing well or poorly, you should be allowed to post your experiences and within reason your thoughts. I posted my thoughts above because THAT is how I made my decision for the purchase I made after having done a lot of research through the older posts on this very forum. The people who feel they must then call me names and deride me for my decision are producing nothing more than a dark atmosphere that will prevent future posters from speaking their minds in fear of getting the same treatment. That type of 'free speech' should be curtailed as it produces nothing. If someone were to offer a well reasoned argument and detail why they felt my decision was wrong, I would look at their comments and research them and come to a new conclusion based on that and let them know why I either agreed or disagreed with them and list the points.

If you took the time to read though the majority of my postings, you'd notice that, as my signature states, the worse you treat me, the worse I respond. I have earned the emnity of many and the respect of few, but their opinion of me matters not to me, as I am secure in who I am. I personally love an intelligent debate, and this sub-forum would be a wondrus place if that was what we conducted here. Sadly, with the anonymity the internet provides, you have people lashing out like they never would in a face to face meeting.

The problem then becomes where to draw the line. Unless everyone agrees, it will just fuel the fire.

actually, i am not comparing anything to anything. Huh

And this illustrates my point. You asked a question and then completely ignored the answer to point out something irrelevant.

no, i didn't ignore it. i simply had no comment on it except that i was confused as to what two things i was suppose to have compared. and how does that illustrate any point?

but i will comment now though since you seem to want me to.

i don't believe that the poster you quoted nor i called you any names nor derided you in this thread. i would agree that attacking another individual for their hardware purchasing decisions would be out of place. heck, i have put money into (undelivered) products of some of the worst performing companies currently out there so i wouldn't cast aspersions unto others in the same boat.

no, i have not searched your posting history so i have no clue what you have brought to the table previously. if i 'took the time' to go thru every posters' history i would never get anything done so that is quite unrealistic to expect.
