i for one, don't share your level of sensitivity. i might call it hyper. is that rude of me? my basic premise, just to restate, is that different folks have different standards, and i have all too often seen people, especially newbies, tarred and feathered here for what i consider to be legit criticsm based in facts or their legit experiences. to codify these extremely broad rules (to satisfy subjective sensitivities) while seemingly on the surface appears reasonable; is ultimately i believe going to lead to groupthink atta-boys and insulates people from not only criticism, but new ideas, or even fundamental seismic shifts in paradigm and approach. of course a balance is needed, but spam is in fact, narrowly defined, as is profanity. the mods handle those two things with no complaint from anyone i see. flaming is more broad, but again i see no complaints about how mods handle that as well. the main problem as i see it, is one person says something critical, such as "SS sucks" and a whole lot of people take personal umbrage to it, as if the comment was intentioned FOR THEM when they have NO legitimate reason to do so, as this is a place RUN BY THE COMPANY for people to come and give their feedback ostensibly to the company, good and bad. i understand that many people here see themselves as "part of it" and no doubt they absolutely are. i realize they contribute code and all that. but its still unrealistic and simply unwarranted for them to get upset by someones expression of frustration with slim stuff. thats my take and i'm sticking to it. i think i've now made all my points repeatedly, this is getting pretty circular, and clearly, Sean and SD will do what they think best as is their right, (although i look at "the majority rationale" skeptically as that could be mob rule) so i'm gonna try to bow out. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 w/SS 6.5.5 (beta!?) - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43308 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
