Distractions.

The only thing posters like Mr. Particle do is distract us from those posts that are legitimate and could use our help. They also have a very negative impact on those of us trying to figure out the truth from fiction.

It doesn't help when posters that do have problems agree with very vague and unspecified issues that may in fact have nothing to do with the stability of X2. Often its user error but its hard to tell if we inundate a thread with vague agreements with vague issues.

In my experience those threads that focus on a single issue get solve or a bug gets reported.

What threads that just bash X2 do is confuse the forum an get members taking sides. Highly unproductive.

What can we members do to help fix this problem? My answer is read the OP an if its a bashing of X2 with no issue clearly specified we should just bypass it. Let it go. By us trying to engage with trolls all we do is cause conflict.

To me everyone here is a friend not counting the trolls. But the trolls are very few and come in packets. Greet them with a happy and friendly demeanor but don't engage. This is all they want.

I believe that X2a is a very good release but I also believe it still has bugs. I believe we should all pull together and do what this forum is best at. Which is finding solutions and helping each other.
Let us all try not to find fault with our forum friends. Let us try to remember a time when a member came to our rescue and solved a problem we were having. Let us recall all the knowledge we have been given freely from our forum friends. Think about how useful this place has been to countless people that may or may not post here. When I do those things I can't help but smile.  

Obviously this post is just me speaking. None of you are required to agree with it at all. I do however hope that you do agree.

John is absolutely spot on.

Trouble is, the macabre side of us all always wants to watch a train crash

And, this is just me, but I rarely have a problem in just watching from afar.

I agree. We all should have ignored the thread DaveNY started.

Let's just put it this way...when things like not being able to breathe become an issue...as it did for me this past week, all the problems I've had become miniscule...

And let this be a lesson to all of us. Good health to all of you!!!

Ain't that the truth! 

We are cleaning this up. I believe all this is coming from one source. Moving this to coffee house, nothing personal.

Charlie this would be an awful place if we all agreed with one another. I couldn't think of a more boring situation. Its the interchange of ideas that give a pulse to this place. That and new members.

John's one of Daveny5's AAAAAAA-^oles now?

That does it your officially OFF my Christmas list... just kidding, I don't have a Christmas list.


I have used 3 replies up tonight for these trashed threads, so much for keeping my thread count down.

Mom! Don't move!
