Wow. Good snip to take that out of context. What was the rest of the quote that helps it make sense?

Oh, yes, here it is:

Are you angry at Pentax? Fine. Sell your Pentaxes, get another camera, and get the hell over it. Just stop shouting at me because I haven't mustered up enough outrage to suit you.

Despite your creative spin, it still doesn't say this should be a place of unconditional Pentax worship. In fact, here are three quotes from my posts that directly contradict that

1.I know someone is going to accuse me of trying to censor the list, or that I'm too sensitive, or that I can't stand criticism of Pentax. Bullshit. Valid criticism is fine. I've engaged in it myself. Anyone who knows me can tell you I'm hardly sensitive. And you know I don't censor the list.

2.While there's plenty of room for the gloom and doom around here, I say there should also be room for those of us who think the gear is quite suitable. If that makes me a cheerleader, so be it.

3.If you have a bad experience with Pentax and wish to share it with the rest of the list, I welcome it. All I ask is that I be able to share my good experiences without being shouted down and insulted.

Is that clear enough?

Okay, your reading comprehension skills are perfect. Tell me what part of this thread I've written says this list should be a place of unconditional Pentax worshipping.

"Are you angry at Pentax? Fine. Sell your Pentaxes, get another camera, and get the hell over it. Just stop shouting at me [...]"


Which, with my poor English comprehension, I understand as "if you want to say something negative about Pentax, just shut up".
