Not at all. I went to edit to add to it, but now it won't stick. I'm trying to repost and it doesn't stick. Let's see if this one works, and then maybe I can edit it with my response.

Preach it brother. You are spot on. I for one believe the 'sensitivity' comes from insecurity.
I really don't see how you can possibly be unaware that people make critical comments all the time in these forums. Many of the fixes are in direct response to issues brought up by users. What you may not understand is that it is entirely possible to be critical while being polite and helpful.
What bothers people - as it should - is negativity for the sake of negativity, and the ill-informed rants from people who start threads like "MASSIVE BUGGS!! SONAR SUXXX!!! MOVING TO REPEAR!!!! and then you find out 20 posts down that once they upgraded the driver for their 12-year-old interface, everything was fine.
For example, in the "Time to Vote" thread, you posted "Studio One for the win, the best by a Country Mile." That's just plain rude. No SONAR person is rude enough to go into a Studio One forum and talk about how great SONAR is. I guess they're just classier.
Oh, and note that I'm not defending SONAR in any way, shape, or form with this answer. So don't say I'm sensitive to criticisms of SONAR - I'm sensitive to rude loudmouths.
