Oh it has gotten bad in these forums in the past, and many times I was guilty. Sometimes it gets frustrating if someone doesn't see your pov, even though you feel you are right. The ones that drive me nuts usually is if someone blows off your issue because the thing that isn't working for you just isn't important to them.
 
These days, I think of it in terms of... How will I feel about my posts a year from now? Will I be embarrassed? Or, will I feel embarrassed if I show my posts to friends/family? If the answer is yes, then stop and re-word it until you feel it passes the test.
 
Another way is to just stick with what you believe to be the technical facts. Write it as if you are writing a technical manual, stating facts and describing steps etc., so that it isn't directed at a specific person. This will leave emotion out of the discussion when things get hot.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the understanding.
I'm bouncing back and forth between deciding on the professional or platinum platforms.  Having utilized Producer from Sonar 7 thru my current install of X1 Expanded,  I'm not seeing an immediate benefit with going Platinum over Pro.  I'll be reading posts and updates with great interest.

With all due respect, you have a long and difficult road ahead of you if you want to qualify as an undesirable troll. Being a really competent troll takes dedication, effort, a blatant disregard of the facts, too much time on your hands, an internet connection in your mom's basement, and a highly negative outlook on life.
 
Of course you'll welcome to be here! I fully expected that many people would see the possibility for monthly payments and assume Cakewalk had "gone Adobe." And frankly, in some ways it's not a bad thing - more people are paying attention to Cakewalk than ever right now  And in the process, if they actually see what's being offered, they'll see it's a pretty smokin' deal.
 
 

BTW Craig, I still have many of my old Electronic Musician mags from back in the day.
