If you've done your home work, investigated the options, and made the decision that suits your needs, you don't need to revisit that decision over and over again. The first and really obnoxious thing about MILC proponents is exactly the trap one sees in this logic. It assumes they re telling me something I don't know. And when you say you did your investigation and decided to stay DSLR, they generally go negative on you. I know all I wish to know about MILC. I did my homework. My guess is I probably know a lot more about MILC than many of those who promote it on the site.
The constant problem of MILC in non-milc threads is, I've already made that decision. If Pentax introduces MILC, it doesn't matter, I'm not buying anybody's MILC. I already own a Pentax Mirrorless with an EVF.
Most of the MILC promoters do not in any way try and respect my decision. Most of them try and make out (like Winder did recently ) that we are Luddites. That level of aggressive judgement should be banned.
This is not about MILC vs DSLRs, this is about the basic rules of conversation. You shouldn't get to come here with the attitude that you're gods gift to the information age, because you made different purchasing decision than someone else. And you certainly shouldn't be allowed to get in everyone's face about it.

Valid is a strange word, I think if you project Pentax into some future tech, there is no need to do so with the attitude that people with just as "valid" opinions as your own, haven't put a lot of time into coming to a different opinion and it''s just as valid as their own. As long as we have MILC people calling DSLR users old, dinosaurs, Luddites etc. they simply are not worthy of respect. You get what you give, and the first thing that has to be given is the respect, that whoever you're talking to is as knowledgeable and smart as you are. If you can't grant that basic modicum of respect, you don't even belong on a social site.
MILC owners have become like Vegans. "I bought this shiny new toy, now I'm going to tell you about it, whether or not you care."
"Let me tell you about this camera you thoroughly investigated and rejected as an option 2 years ago."
" I don't care if it's relevant to you, I just want to have someone to talk to."
It's just nerdish behaviour.
