Re: Thank you Apple - and don't change course. Please

[Carsten Orlt] "What I don't understand is why you are so angry that you have to throw around insults after insult just because I stated my personal opinion. I did so openly clearly stating that it is MY opinion."

Labeling something an opinion does not remove you from being responsible for what you said. While Scott may have gone a little overboard with some of his statements I think he articulated his, and my, anger very well. Try reading this section again:

Scott SheriffAs I said before, no one in this, or any other forum ever once suggested taking away your storytelling tools, but you seem to be perfectly OK with the loss of ours. After all, your subject line says "Thank you Apple - and don't change course. Please".

So we bitched about the loss of our tools, the loss of choice, lack of notice, and get zero support from folks like yourself. Besides being perplexed by this attitude, I find it quite distasteful how so many fans of X are not just unsympathetic to the situation other editors and business owners find themselves in, but that they seem to be quite happy about it.

What the heck? As long as you have what you want, who cares about the rest of us? Right?

So, while you may not have intended it as such, your "opinion" is actually an expression of glee at our problems. On that, and most everything else he wrote, I agree with Scott wholeheartedly.
