Re: Emmy award winning editor at NBC blogs about FCPX

[Tim Wilson] "People who like X are so adamant about how many other people "don't get it" that they've missed that they're not under seige. They're now the majority. It's almost like overreaction to perceived slights has become a form of self-validation. "

Well, perhaps.

But if I, particularly have a bit of a persecution complex in all of this, it's not that there wasn't the result of a long, long battle.

Tim, since you're tracking stuff, I'd be interested in the radio of time's I've posted anything complimentary about X and either Herb, Chris H, Aindreas, and a few others, either individually or together HAVENT popped up to argue with me not only to argue voiciferously about my view of the program's essential worth - but often implying that I'm personally an idiot for my thinking.

Clearly since I've been here the whole time, I'm not particularly put off by that - and actually I've kind of enjoyed it since I like debate and I enjoy being pushed to defend my contentions. So I'll ABSOLUTELY cop to wading into many of these fights and even escalating them.... but isn't that exactly what's made this forum so popular?

This place is ALL about dissent. Voicing it, AND having others call foul when they disagree.

And sorry, the "ratio" of haters to acceptors may have shifted significantly, but most weeks there's still posts wildly mis-representing the software. Precisely from people who appear NOT understand it very well.

So I post help in Techniques (and a few other forums) - and I push back against what I perceive to be mis-information right here. Are you saying that because the "FCP-X is valuable" voices are starting to form a majority that it's time to stop?

Jeez, dude, how the hell are Craig, Jeremy, and I supposed to build and grow our CULT in the face of a jury instruction like that!? ; )
