I think a reasonable attitude lies about half way between 'Saint Ben' and 'bitch for life'.
Don't go getting all moderate and reasonable on us ...

Yeah. We need unbridled angst and bitterness here.

No reasonable states allowed

The libraries that I purchased through the App store for IOS Alchemy are no longer available (so far I'm out about $50, and over 90% of the purchased sound ware) - that's what brought me to CA's website to begin with.

This is a valid complaint and is why I do not purchase in-app. The extremely short-lived nature of iOS apps has left me feeling screwed quite a few times as is, and I rarely buy any. I have no mission-critical third party investment there because of it.

We're just supposed to say "Oh, okay CA. Have a nice life. Wish you well." It's total BS. Anybody defending them

Well, actually 99% of CA users are "angry" (as in "facepalm"). 1% (or even less) are trying to "defend them"? Just die-hard fanboys, or so called "acute stress reaction". I would not consider this thread, because it has nothing more to do with CA per se. This thread is a bet, like "can we reach 300 pages before it gets locked?". The posts are about camels, cameltoes, apples, autism. whatever you like. The only aim is:

At this point, I thought the only real aim of this thread was entertainment

The fact that we occasionally dip into seriousness is just human nature (and I have no qualms with taking things seriously).

Let's try it with edutainment:

He may refer you to an attorney - but at least that's something -
That's getting pretty stalkery. I'm good friends with him and I've already said a few times, he is alive and not rolling around like a puppy in a mythical 8 figure mountain of cash. It's also well known on here they are a nice bunch of guys who've always gone out their way to support their customers, so in answer to your question, it would appear fairly obvious nothing can be said by him about camel audio at the moment...

Sh!t happens...lesson learned w/IOS, Jace-BeOS.

Let's see what Sampleconstruct has in mind - maybe the deal he winds up putting together is so sweet, that I forget about the rest of the CA's Alc libraries, and just settle....

If you could find the quote in Douglas Adams' "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" that basically says the same thing you just said, THEN it would be funny.
