Craig, your ridiculous tirade above does not absolve you from your condescension into using an ad hominem. Let me put you in your place here: I am a customer. If you continue to treat your customers like this, word will break out and Sonar will sink even lower in reputation than it already has. I am reading countless GS posts right now with the same sentiment.

Word will only break out because people like YOU spread lies and misinformation.
GS is full of such people so it's no surprise that you are "reading countless GS posts right now with the same sentiment."

I never visit GS at all - I pulled up a recent thread there last night to see if I could gauge the current sentiment. Surprisingly balanced and lots and lots of users speaking up favourably for SONAR - some recognisable from here too - along with the inevitable detractors. I don't honestly know what motivates people like the OP - choose a DAW that works for you and make the music that makes you happy.
 
 

I think it's been better "over there" since they installed the new DAW specific forums

That's encouraging. KVR is the next untamed wilderness. LOL. (But I like it here apart from the occasional campaign).

An ad hominem attack is certainly frowned upon in a reasoned, evidence based debate. It is entirely acceptable, however, when used to call someone out for being a dick on a forum.

@Craig: As a CEO of Gibson, you're telling me that you're powerless to affect change at a subsidiary company. That's pretty embarrassing. That makes me think less of Gibson.

I'm not the CEO of anything. Get your facts straight. I have a specific gig at Gibson, and it does not involve being Cakewalk's management. If you don't know what an "independent division" is, I can elaborate.

People here will tell you how I treat customers. I offer assistance and advice to anyone who comes here to learn, share, or have problems that need to be solved. You started this thread and you dredged it up again almost half a year later specifically for the purpose of venting. It contributes nothing to those who come here to focus on the use of SONAR software.
 
 
As to "ad hominem," that is a logical fallacy where someone attacks a person in place of addressing their arguments. I already addressed your arguments, such as they are. Identifying you as an "internet tough guy" after your "Ban me if you want. You will only hurt Sonar's reputation" statement was a commentary that represents my opinion. There is no forum rule that states only you can express opinions.
 
I understand that for whatever reason, you do not want to engage in a two-way discussion. You prefer instead to dismiss reasoned responses that address your points as a "ridiculous tirade." So be it. I think scook, one of the most helpful and level-headed people on this forum, probably said it best in a response to one of your previous rants: "I do wish you well with your endeavors but cannot understand the chip you are carrying around. Complain away if it makes you feel better and by all means blame me for your poor attitude."

Shouldn't this thread be locked by now. No one is really learning anything or benefiting from it.
