No, the problem is we're discussing product or business X which has nothing to do with my products. If somebody wants to open a thread "Wagsrfm Presets Suck" and have everybody criticize their quality, fine. At least we're on topic. But if I say XYZ's synth has a poor GUI in a thread where we're actually discussing XYZ's synth, there is absolutely no reason for anybody to bring up my products in a thread that has nothing to do with MY products.whyterabbyt wrote:Person A attacks business X for delaying a product release.wagtunes wrote:Big difference between my criticizing a 3rd party product that has NOTHING TO DO with the person who is criticizing me and my criticizing that person directly.Reefius wrote:It's sad to see how one person can turn a thread into a flamewar.

If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen
If you can't see that, then I don't know what to tell you.
Person B attacks business Y for the quality of their product.
Hmmm. So is the problem that person A and company Y are the same but person B has no relationship to business X so he shouldnt be allowed to criticise anything?
Confusion.
Otherwise, anybody in that thread who criticizes XYZ's product who happens to have a business of their own (and tons of people here do) is fair game for an attack as well.
Can you imagine what that would turn every thread into that discusses somebody else's product?
But the thing is, other people criticize company's products. I can show you tons of posts. Yet, they don't get attacked. Only I do. That's the part that pisses me off the most. Anybody else can say anything they want about XYZ's product and nothing gets said back to them. But as soon as I open my mouth, I get hammered.
It's quite a double standard and I'm tired of it.
