[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9619111, member: 7006"] This is just one of the myriad of downsides of social media. People spend an inordinate amount of time delving way too deep into things they want to maintain a connection to... and when one does that it invariably leads to the realization that other people are indeed [I]different[/I] people. There is a 100% chance that anyone one "follows" is going to eventually have an opinion that (general) you disagree with. And for whatever reason, people seem to put way, way, WAY too much personal stock in that. In my opinion there is something to be said in just not caring or listening to what any designer has to say and instead just waiting and then perking up one's ears only when the product gets released. Then at that point you look at it, decide if you want to buy it, and then do or don't. And then after that not giving a flying crap about anything the designer does or does not do afterwards. Transaction over... relationship to the person over. [/QUOTE]
