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.

Yeah, but on the other hand, I could be viewed in the same light from John, John T, FBB's point of view, and for all I know, you're including me in that from your point of view. That's the problem with making things too generic. I lock horns with people all the time but I can honestly say I've never attacked anyone that I can remember. Sometimes people will take a joke the wrong way and get mad at me, but I've never, that I can recall, arbitrarily attacked someone.

I do go out of my way to explain my point of view some times and I think that's taken as being argumentative. In my eyes it's not, but I can see how it comes off that way, especially when I quote facts and it proves someone wrong. Most people don't like being told they are wrong, ya know what I mean?

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 was being sincere. I really do think you take it way too seriously and I was just trying to get you to maybe rethink things here a little. But then again, it's not my place to do that so I do apologize. Sometimes I say things to you because I know you are from NJ and I am too ... and in my mind there's a bond and I feel more comfortable saying things to you than I do other people and probably say things I shouldn't, because in reality we really don't know each other ...

Personally, I really need to stop spending so much time here. You can only make your point so much, and state your dissatisfaction with X1 for so long before you actually do become an **** about it. LOL! It's not my responsibility to be the 'truth' police here ...

I do like helping people and I feel like I've contributed more good than bad ... but if everyone else's perception is more bad than good ... then I've failed.

Well, anyway. I had a lot more typed but just deleted it. No need to say anymore.

I for one am no different on here to how I am in real life. I try to help where I can but I'm not adverse to the odd wind up either. That's exactly how I am in 'real' life and I have never taken anything much seriously I'm afraid.

My avatar is me, although you can't see much of me admittedly, but there's a wacking great picture of my ugly mug in my profile, for those who must, along with my real name etc.

I also have a very keen sense of humour which if you haven't noticed includes being able to laugh at myself as well as others. If somebody posts what I consider to be a funny post I will sometimes reply with a smiley, in the same way I will use a +1 if I agree with something.

I for one don't judge a post by it's poster or past posts by that user, but by the contents of that particular post. I also don't have much trouble calling BS, er..... BS but I do try to do that in a reasonable manner although I probably don't always succeed in that. Misunderstandings are certainly easier to make in a text and smiley only environment, both ways that is, I misunderstand some and I know others do me. Body language and facial expression helps an awful lot in 'real' communication and you don't have that in a text only environment.

Some people just plain don't read posts either, nothing wrong with skimming posts but don't start arguing on the contents of a skimmed post is worth as much as "think before you post" - perhaps that should be "read, understand, and think before you post". All IMHO of course.

What drives me up the wall is the vomit-inducing sycophancy.

One would think  that if one is having such a reaction they would avoid the forum. 

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.

This sounds as if a forum member has to be antagonistic to the provider of the forum to be seen in your eyes as acceptable. My understanding for having the forum is to provide a way for users to compare notes on issues and using it to fix problems. To help one another use the product efficiently. I don't think CW had in mind that it would ever become a platform to constantly bash both the company and the product.   

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.

The only diatribes come from those that are either upset with how something is not working or against those that offer advice to help get a problem solved. 

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.

 As in school from immature children name calling is used to minimize the humanity of another person. It is anti TOS and because no one seems to be able to say stop it I will. 

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.

Same as above. Except that because name calling is used with such fervor the message is ignored. Only the name calling is noticed.  

And I'm with Bub - talking in generic terms may be politically correct, but let's call a spade a spade...

Isn't that the same as a + 1?

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.

This is to me a violation of the TOS.

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.

What I see is some one that thinks its just fine on a forum to malign others and name call and to attack the other with apparent impunity. To me that is a disgrace. Why isn't Mike and those that support the idea behind the OP countering this post of Steve's with a simple disavowing.  Nothing will change here as long as a post like Steve's is greeted with no comment from those that don't want the forum inundated with this kind of behavior.

It doesn't matter what view one has about the product. It doesn't matter where one stands on CW.  What matters is how we as members treat each other.  As long as the post by Steve is acceptable to the forum and no one comments on it people like Steve will feel free to be as nasty to others as they wish.

If that is fine to you then what ever else you say here is absurd. Fix it here or be silent always.
