And "bashing" may have been the wrong word, but ohgrant seems to get that even with all the valid points, after awhi Klink e these third ngs grow beyond simple right or wrong. All the "me toos" and kindling to a flame that burns out of control even if the intent was withiut malice

 
 
That's easy for you to say....;)

The Maillard Reaction
My impression is that IK_Peter showed up and blasted a bold face lie to everyone participating in that thread.
 
It undermined the credibility of his company when he acted like a bull in a china shop and now that it turns out he has made a fool of himself it has undermined his credibility as an industry professional as well.
 
It's pretty obvious that IK has a different standard for treating its customers than many of its customers think is standard.
 
I'm waiting for my consolation gifts and a heartfelt apology from *Mr. There IS No Free Speech*. I wonder if he can explain whether he has figured out if making a big bold show of arguing and lying is better or worse than simply and quietly admitting that you just don't have an answer.

BTW...just so you all know, IK KNOWS that those of us who have been F**ked by IK
probably won't be buying the "NEW" ST 3 product, so they decided to basically GIVE 
all the current ST stuff away in the last "group buy" and Sale, so that the "Newbies" would
buy their "NEW" product.

THAT basically, to me, says "Screw you long time customer, if you won't buy we'll get others
to buy the product by giving them all the stuff you paid thousands for for free, and just
rape you a little more"

YES, that's a great marketing scheme...

If you guys buy what they're selling...you're far "dumber" then dumb...especially knowing the
History of the product.  But, I would expect nothing less from "newbies"...so have it.

For $__ts and giggles, let's say someone actually likes ST3 and it serves their needs, are they automatically dumb because you say so?  As i said, there is no doubt IK dropped the ball, but they also created a few products that have gotten plenty of mileage in pop music.  we know it's not beyond their capabilities to make good products . the rape stuff is a little harsh.  If you bought ST long ago it was state of the art at the time and if you bought it recently it was dirt cheap.  In any case, most people got what they paid for.  I know too many rape victims to compare being dissatisfied with a software product with being physically violated lol.

btw, don't take me too seriously in this thread.  It's hard to tell via text, but I'm half serious at best. I'm cynical too but just can't seem to raise the same level of hostility.

Don't sweat it, this thread was assessed long ago...

 Well I don't speak for Larry, but I would say he's speaking more figuratively. I'm sure folks realize that ST3 really has to be groundbreaking for it to be competitive with what's available now . It's going to have to be much more than just a little more content, a nicer GUI and built around 64bit architecture.  In any case, I'm sure one day I'll get it, when it's about the same price as I got ST2 for. If one wants to doubt my intelligence for that, that is his affair
 
I'm pretty sure he just being familiar, after all, evaluating an individuals intelligence on who they do business with is just plain stupid no?
