I should have known better...

Bursting someone's delusional synth bubble is bad, bad thing.

For example--
If someone truly wants to believe DCOs are analog, and I come along and tell them that the D stands for DIGITAL, I've just harshed his mellow. But, is it my fault that they believe in things they don't understand?

Can someone tell me why it's not okay to snark someone if you don't name them, but it's okay to put someone's real name on a forum and start a huge thread perpetuating a faleshood about that person?

On the internet, mob mentality rules. That's why it's okay to put someone's real name on a forum and perpetuate a faleshood about that person. Whereas if an individual makes an assertion without the backing of the mob he must be pilloried - it's the internet law

Two wrongs don't make a right. Someone needs to take a high road. You also didn't name them, but it is pretty obvious to anyone in the community.

It isn't mob mentality, it's mob lack of mentality.

I'm also highly amused that most of the people who got all butthurt over this are posting anonymously.

I'm not butthurt over anything. I don't even know who you're talking about. But the type of attacks I've seen on the net only make the attacker look worse. Why not stay out of it?

For the last time, the reason I got bitchily snarky is because I take great exception to someone labeling his project a "restoration" when he didn't do a third of the work that is done here when a synth is restored. ESPECIALLY when it's someone who was previously very rude to me and mine.

Bottom line... he got what he gave.

I understand your reasoning, but in the end, what good did it do?
