I'm sorry, perhaps I didn't make my point clear. My point had nothing to do with cpu usage and/or reviews, it was about the use of the labels "fanboi" (or fanboy) and "hater" and nothing else. That's what I was talking about when I mentioned taste, being persecuted or labeled because you really like or dislike something imo only creates and promotes hostility. While language barriers may exist one thing for certain is that in any language it's possible to express your opinions and your reviews without having to be disrespectful, attack or persecute anyone. My post had nothing to do with what your personal reviews were based on, I just cannot see why some people cannot share opinions and reviews in a respectful and meaningful way.chk071 wrote:What i certainly don't get is what a review based on experience, like me comparing my hosts in terms of CPU efficiency, has to do with taste at all. If i do a comparison, host A, B and C, if all hosts are running at same sample rate, ASIO driver settings and overall make sure i have nearly similar environment. Then i check which host is booting up the quickest, check, when the program is running, how much CPU and RAM it consumes, then load up a fairly CPU consuming plugin (in my case Tyrell N6), play the same sound and check how the VST performance is. The result i present has nothing at all to do with taste but with my personal experience on which is most system efficient host. On my computer of course. Then i go to KVR forum, post my experience, see that (wow a miracle!) many other came to the same conclusion, and overall you can get a nice picture about the original question of this topic. At least that's how it could be.Hink wrote: I dislike both labels, when it comes to personal taste who is to judge the feelings of others. The best advertising imo is word of mouth...I trust mt contemporaries opinions much more than that of marketing experts and when people are enthusiastic spreading the word is showing your respect to both the company that makes the product and your peers looking for advice.
Having been called a hater out of nowhere myself when in fact those who know me know that is a misnomer it's something I think is way out of line and that is a two way street (ie labeling someone a fanboi because they really like something). Using terms that are obviously intended to be of an offensive manner will never add to a debate or a conversation, but they can interrupt what might be a productive debate or discussion. Once it reaches that point it's no longer people talking together but people talking at each other and thus becomes a waste of time as everyone is talking and no one is listening.
I totally agree with your above post and that is how it should be, unfortunately (albeit a small percentage of posters) once such terms start flying it brings down the reputation of not only the poster but KvR. If you look over this thread (and other like it) you will see like in many such threads people are stereotyping KvR and it's members because of the few who choose not share their reviews and points in a respectful and meaningful manner. Personally I am here to learn and to share, not be judged or stereotyped nor do I want to judge or stereotype others.
Frankly I'm not sure why people who almost always have something negative to say about KvR keep returning if it's so bad.
