I think he's a troll.


Maybe not.


Now I've confused myself.

 
What drives me up the wall is the vomit-inducing sycophancy.
 
And not just the cringeworthy and misplaced loyalty to a company that, and let's be brutally honest here, exist mainly to separate them and the rest of us from our money.
 
It's exactly as Mike says, it exists just as much among the '+1' and the 'LMAO' mob that follow up their pathetic diatribes, and serve only to encourage them.
 
To use a school analogy, you could imagine the fanbois are the teacher's pets to Cakewalk's staff (the teachers) and as such, are allowed much more leeway in their behaviour. Even if they do cross the line, the authoritative words may appear strong but the actions are weak.
 
The toadies that follow the fanbois like sickly sheep are the unpopular kids who'll do and say anything to get in the gang - quite abhorrent really.
 
And I'm with Bub - talking in generic terms may be politically correct, but let's call a spade a spade...
 
John is, without doubt, the biggest bootlicking backslapping fanboi on the planet. I once suggested to him that if Cakewalk sent him a turd in a box and called it X2 he'd be on the forum within seconds defending it to the hilt and lying that it smelt of French perfume. He called me 'negative' so I politely explained (as I believe both JB and Bub have done recently) that Cakewalk don't need people telling them that everything in the garden is rosy, an 'Emperor's new clothes' syndrome if you like, but honest feedback. I said I was wasn't being negative, I was being realistic - big difference I'm sure you'd agree.
 
And the other prefect - John T (who I postulate has recently usurped John as head boy), has got to be the most odious, execrable, hypocritical and sanctimonious creep I've ever had the mispleasure to encounter. How someone can, when they've lost an argument, stoop so low as to say they hope their adversary would "die in a fire" is quite beyond my understanding. And there have been many other examples - all conveniently ignored by the powers that be.
 
It's a disgrace.

You know Strammy...you just reminded me of one of my favorite movies(Sydney Lumet's The Hill).  I was reminded of how Ian Hendry's Staff Sgt. Williams overtakes and usurps Harry Andrews R.S.M. Bert Wilson's position as who's really in charge of the camp come the end of the movie.  A very apt comparison.

 
A truly wonderful film.

They don't have medicine for what I have.

Yeah Rain.....
I'd buy you guys (in th CH) a round or 2 of beer anyday!!

One just cannot write situational fiction better than how real life actually plays out.

Bub: I kept it generic because I can feel where Mike is coming from and wanted to share my own experience without naming names. The reason for that...we really don't have to name names do we? We all pretty much know who causes trouble around here ALL the time. It's the same ones all the time. Also, though I respect where you were coming from, I don't think it was quite fair to do an analysis on my character for speaking my mind or mention what *I* may need to do. Yes I know my flaws and how serious I take things...but that would be like me telling you "well, you really need to alter the way you handle yourself on the forum". I'd be out of line in telling you that because you have your own beliefs as to how you feel you should act, know what I mean?

I didn't name anyone or bring up any past scenarios to imply I was speaking about anyone in particular. I just stated what is blatantly obvious to me and I'm sure many others on the forum. I'm not the problem around here other than my long-winded and from-the-heart posts. :) If something is worthy of discussion amongst a group where we all share at least some of the same feelings, it's proof something needs to be done about it from those that either start the trouble, or the mods that are supposed to end the trouble or nip it before it starts. That's all I was getting at....and I seem to see a pattern with these particular individuals where I don't see it with people that are liked and respected. Like, for example...and I beg those that I use here to forgive me, but you're in the "highly respected group".

You'd never see Jim Roseberry, bitflipper, brundlefly, lornie b, Jose, Jeff Evans, yorolpal (to name a few off the top of my head...there are several) and 90% of the REAL coffee house people etc etc lash out at someone in a rude way unless they were joking around. You also see patience with these individuals when they try to help someone, passion within their posts and they never bash the brains out of a n00b. They'll go to the ends of the earth to help, reproduce something, share tips and they always keep their composure unless backed into a corner or annihilated by someone with a bug up their @ss that may push them over the edge.

If you look at the trouble makers...they don't have any of the people skills these guys do, they just want to be intimidating and tell you to read the manual, make you feel like an idiot for not being as savvy as they might be, and most of them have never shared a tune to show if they really can get good results out of Sonar to talk the way they talk. Am I wrong/alone/out of my tree for noticing this? I'm not trying to be confrontational with you or anyone else...honest, but this is what I see blatantly in my face all the time.

Ah Mickey I'll agree with you on the sailor thing....but "a pair" I definitely have. :)

JohnT: I don't know if you were insinuating that everyone involved in this thread fits your description, but for what it's worth, I've never had a problem with you....you've always been helpful to me...but I gotta tell you...though I know you could care less about making friends around here....you can be really harsh at times man. Like overly harsh to where sometimes it's not a pleasant read. I know you don't care and will probably go off on me after this (which I hope you don't)....but it's obvious you can be an extremely helpful dude around here and have been numerous times. I just wish your delivery was a bit better in some scenarios. Don't get me wrong, I don't think anyone should sugar coat, but it really goes a long way when/if we can all show a little compassion whenever possible brother.

Honest that's not meant to be character assassination. I'm giving you props as someone that has been helpful to me and others...but sometimes, you come off really harsh where I find myself saying "wow, was that really necessary?" Then again, maybe it's me misunderstanding. It's kinda like with me being a Yank, at times I still don't totally understand the brutal honesty Brits have at times. The other side of the coin is...though Brits are brutally honest, they often times show compassion in the same paragraph within that honesty, so I do understand the majority.

At any rate, I sincerely feel this is a good discussion. Hopefully something good will come out of it. Who knows...maybe we'll make a few friends from it without getting nasty and bashing each other. That's what I hope for sincerely. I don't want to see anyone banned, hated, ganged up on or thrown to the side. There's nothing better than strength in numbers and the power of a group hug when differences are settled. :)

Well Mike.... I always try to be myself and frankly, it is a full time job. Sometimes I wish I could be someone else, maybe for a while. I think it would be refreshing. You know, the older you get, the more you realize just how screwed up you are (if you're honest with yourself).
I try to not be hurtful and if I have I apolgize. If I missed the whole point then ya'll can lauhat me and I'll laugh too. ;-)

Great, thinking "idea" people can be some of the biggest a-holes that ever lived.  Great quotes are just that...great quotes.  There is a difference.  And it is a chasm bigger than the Grand Canyon.  You are probably a heartfelt, positive and giving person Jeff.  But you're not doing yourself any favors by seriously adhering to or espousing those sort of "rainbow and lollipop" homilies.  Honest, ol pal.
