Originally posted by Gooshin and remember last year, with the K20D/K200D rumor threads, Adam having to upgrade the server because it was getting choked!!! where are all those people now, those that caused so much controversy's and some seriously aggressive threads.
much like Peter said, i very much appreciate this forums brand neutrality, and still, on a daily basis some sort of brand degrading or promoting post creeps up, and more often than not by people who are new to the forum.
A new guy on the forum is not going to understand our past here, or understand that something has been talked about before. They will also not understand what ticks you off. Nobody is perfect and we all have our different personalities. Being rude to them isn't going to solve the problem or make it go away. We can scare away a newbie, but one will be right behind him to take his place.
I guess we have to decide if this is an open forum for all points of view, regardless of whether we agree with them or get "upset" because someone doesn't know what we dislike, or if it's a closed forum for a "cliche" of people who jump on anyone who appears to be an outsider and "doesn't understand" what you expect....whatever that is. I didn't read anything aggressive or bad in the OP's post. He was just trying to get a conversation started.
Learn to live with folks who rub you the wrong way. After all Goosh, we live with you!
