There are an awful lot of read-only participants, that is true but if no-one new is asking questions then it is completely obvious that there is no-one new coming along. More symptoms of the same problem...

I don't know too many Australians, but I really doubt you can lump all Aussies into one group any more than you can lump all Americans, or any other nation's citizens, in one group. I realize that there are differences in language between different cultures, that's the case even with US English in different areas of the US. But there is a line between legitimate differences of opinion and personal attacks, and I think that line has been crossed way too many times in this forum. You're not one of those few who take every opportunity to bash Grafx or to spread misinformation or make personal attacks, but like I said, your message wasn't exactly pleasant either, and it was the straw that broke the camel's back. > Yeah, understood - But as a business director though, I'd be asking myself > "Why is this CUSTOMER feeleing this way?" Sure, and do you think it's any different in this case? You try to do your best and you make whatever decisions you feel are correct, but no person or company is going to please everyone, no matter what you do. That's not to say that everything Grafx does is 100% right (or 100% wrong), but there are ways to go about making your views and differences known to the other side without resorting to personal attacks. > Apologise for speaking my mind - no way, go to buggery :) People should not > be ostracised for that. It's not what is said, but how it's said. This has nothing to do with being politically correct, personally I can't stand political correctness. It has to do with being civil and respectful towards each other. > Snip [I know you only posted one message and there are a small few who have > done much, much worse, but this is the one that broke the camel's back.] > Perhaps it is it a wakeup then? A very small group of very loud people do not necessarily represent the majority of the user base, it just means they're loud. When people are rude and obnoxious, intentionally spread misinformation and continually assert personal opinion as fact, their behavior far out shadows whatever legitimate criticism (if any) they might have. -- Don
