Re: Apple Insider says FCP 8 was DONE when they killed it? WOW.

One clear lesson.

In the days of global interconnectedness - it's valuable to remember that what say and write and post in public - even in kinda closely targeted forums like the one that Richard Harrington was originally addressing - it's all to easy to light a word fire that can spread far and wide.

I don't think he did a thing wrong or even anything that I haven't been equally guilty of - so I feel bad for him, because I've been in similar circumstances speaking or writing my opinions in a group setting, only to find someone interpreting my words in ways I had not expected - and suddenly, it's spreading everywhere and there's no good way to "unring" the bell.

It's kinda like ALL of us who blog or write opinion based posts in open forums such as this are being schooled by the big bad world to give more weight to the journalistic traditions of solid sourcing, and keeping that fence between opinions and facts in good repair.

That's probably a good thing in the long run.

FWIW.
