Well okay, that's a nice way of taking things out of context. If you read the whole post instead of cutting and pasting a few snippets there's nothing negative about it. It's just common sense. Having said that I'll leave the thread alone.

Okay, shoot the messenger. It's obvious the DA lenses will not work well on FF digital. That's not surprising as they're not designed to do so. What's negative is when the FF pushers tell people not to buy lenses that won't work for FF, and for Pentax not to design any more. Doesn't leave a lot of choices. If you really need or want FF digital you have the wrong camera system. There's nothing that Pentax is doing to indicate that they plan on going FF in the near future. The two most recent lenses, the DA35 macro and DA17x70 will not work well on FF.
Nothing wrong or negative with changing systems. I switched from Canon to Pentax in May, and I did it because for what I do I don't need or want FF, and I love primes. I've been very happy with the two DA limited primes I have, and more coming in the near future. I came to Pentax because they have what I wanted. If you really need FF digital then go do it. You have several choices out there. Coming here and telling people not to buy some of best lenses around because they won't work well on FF, now that's foolish.

This is just one more reason why Pentax will not come out with a FF camera in the forceable future. If you really are that obsessed with FF why don't you join the Canikon crowd. No hard feelings here.
