Remember the old "...on the internet no one knows you're a dog?"
This is my first huge forum participation in many years. Back in the 90s I was an avid flightsim fan - built a cockpit, flew 197 different planes, designed airport scenery, etc. Can't tell you how many times I would read something that set a fire under my rear, wrote a scathing post - and then deleted it.
When we're face-to-face, I can raise my beer, grin at you and call you an SOB. And you would be able to tell I'm joking. Or not! But, on the web, whether it be Facebook, Twitter, a forum or whatever - we *aren't* face-to-face and sometimes what gets written is something suddenly subject to the perspective of someone other than yourself.
And, without trying to sound like I defended someone who attacked you, I've tried to *never* call someone a name or lambast them because they didn't agree with me. About the strongest I get lately is "...well, I guess you and I will just have to agree that we disagree..."
There may be thousands of happy Phantom owners out there. However, there's a lot of frustration still going on in here (and in a couple of other forums I read regularly) and many are still just waiting to get started - or waiting on more batteries! Grrrrr! |
