I'll agree that my second post was short, but not necessarily nasty, and yes... I should probably have written out the points rather than link to the video, but again... not necessarily a crime. However, I don't think it's such a terrible post that it deserved your abusive response... but apparently that wasn't directed at me. Yet, how was I to know that?
FWIW it's "forum shorthand" that unless indicated through a quote, a response refers to the previous post. But as you said, you don't spend a lot of time here so it's understandable you wouldn't know that, and I also apologize for any lack of clarity in being specific who the troll was (I did think banning the person who posted immediately before my response spoke for itself, but obviously that was not the case).
The reason you
weren't banned for being an alt was because even though your thread followed the troll's standard script of "I'm leaving leaving SONAR for Studio One because..." and had other similarities, your post didn't have the same "vibe." I truly appreciate your subsequent follow-up, and accept what you say at face value.
FWIW the irony is that if SONAR didn't exist, I'd probably be using Studio One Pro. I don't have a problem with SOP; I use it for album assembly and have done videos for, and consulted to, PreSonus. If an additional layer of integration with a specific control surface is so important to you that you would change DAWs, then you should change DAWs. I switched to SONAR back in 2000 specifically because it provided, and still provides, unique functionalities that are crucial to the work I do, so I understand that what may seem like a relatively minor issue to some users would be seen as a major issue by others.
