You just insulted everyone who uses a battery grips. Many of whom are seriously more knowledgeable and better photographer than you. What's wrong with you? Are you that desperate?
I don't know how to say this nice, so here goes, if you can't own a particular type of camera without trashing every one else's choices, you should probably be banned from camera ownership.
If there was "camera brand intolerance" police, they'd be kicking on your door right now.
Your endless stream of "everyone who doesn't think like me is an idiot" posts won't win you any friends, here or anywhere else. You seriously need to understand that what's important to you may not be relevant to anyone else in the world. And that makes you different, not better, or qualified to judge other folks decisions.
