With the splitting of the forums, it was kind of inevitable though, wasn't it?So, If I get told "You're on THAT side! Get out of here!", or pick up that notion, I get defensive.
The problem is, you've got to be completely ANTI SACD around here to be able to criticise any *specific* shortcoming in DVD-A, even if it is minutia.
It's this bi-partisan, all or nothing mentality that I see cast on *me* when I come in here that puts me on the defensive when someone says something like "SACDs CRACK." ...
That's like saying "Audio equipment gets hot!" ... That's right. Some of it does.
Follow Ups:
the boards were split because of the constant harping between "camps". I don't go onto the hi-rez board and bitch about anti-DVD-A comments, its not worth the trouble. But if I did, I would expect that the usual suspects would jump all over me. You basically have to view the forum you are in with respect. I post on the hi-way and I try to be very careful what I post. It is not my job to try and stamp out any anti-DVD-A comments. It's bound to happen so let it be. Take the analogy that you have walked into a Republican convention as a Democrat and started slagging everyone that said anything anti-democrat. How do you think you'll be received? Its not worth the energy. So try to chill and realize that there will be anti-SACD comments here and pro-DVD-A commentary. That's how its structured. It will not change.
...Because as far as this stuff goes, I'm not the equivalent of a "democrat".If I were a moderate at a Republican convention, I'd likely say, "Well, I like this this and this, but I don't agree wiith this."
It's you guys who labeled me "democrat", "outsider", "SACD-dedicate."
That isn't the truth. But it's a "You're completely for us, or completely against us!" mentality.
Saying that *all* SACDs crack is just dumb. If someone said, perhaps, on Hirez, that *all* DVD-A's don't have dedicated stereo, that'd be dumb, too.
They don't all have stereo, only some do. Am I dumb ?
