[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 4473237, member: 177"] I think that you are not viewing your posts in the context of collective nonsense that goes on around here - you are contributing to an overall ill-will, and I'm calling you on your little part of it. The word "if" was also mine, was it not? Apply it. If you X, then Y. If you do not X, then Y does not logically apply, and you are on your own recognizance. I am even being reasonable enough to allow you to judge whether it applies for yourself. Of course, if you are not that interested in the consumer's rights, one might wonder why the point was raised. Folks may muse on that as they will... You merely insinuated that the largest company in our hobby was engaged in willfully telling us falsehoods in an attempt to get us to buy their products. If "false advertising" means something to you, then so should "defamation", at least as far as either applies in this non-court. You should expect that sometimes, people are going to get fed up with the amount of ill-considered, marginally justified bad-mouthing that goes on. If you engage in it, you should expect the fallout to land on you occasionally. Legalistic logic does not equate to reasonabilty, or ethics, you know. [/QUOTE]
