Recently I posted in a couple of threads here that had subjects that interested me. I don’t do that often, because I’m a Windows user and spend most of my time in the Win forum. But why not? The Win forum has several regular contributors that happen to use Macs, and we don’t think twice about it. They’re as welcome as anyone else, and their opinions as valued as anyone else’s, not more, not less. And lots of issues are platform indifferent.
But not so here. It didn’t take long before the skeletons came tumbling out of the closet. A few choice quotes:
Please don’t keep referring to Windows, which is retarded at best and not color managed in any real sense unless you force it. No one here cares
What I fail to understand is why Windoz users come to a Mac forum. You don’t see Mac users in a Windoz forum… That pretty much says it all you know. It’s like you come over here and try to get us to change our opinions of your OS. Why?
I do read the Windows Photoshop Forum postings from time to time and notice that that the general level of technical knowledge and ability seems to be at a far lower level there than it is here
And my personal favorite:
I have had PC’s forever. I probably know more about them than most PC users. I still have no reason to frequent windoz forums
There’s no point in me trying to comment on any of those statements. I wouldn’t know where to start. The sheer ignorance, the boundless arrogance masquerading as "authority", the superior attitude. It really makes my hair stand on end.
Ever wonder why things tend to get ugly here, and why you need that big red warning on top of the page? It’s not because of the Jim Jordans. All he does is to poke at some people’s arrogance.
This forum is not a good place to be for anyone but the inner clique that runs things around here. All others are quickly told their place, or run out of town.
Oh, and one more thing: Some will probably make a big deal out of my "anonymity", as if that somehow invalidates what I say. This may surprise you, Lundberg, RamΓ³n, Ann, Cindy and others, but your names mean nothing to me. You could sign in with any random sequence of letters, and I couldn’t care less. I care about what you say.
I know you probably don’t give a ”” *** what I think, so you don’t have to waste breath telling me that. In any case I’m not going anywhere near this place again, ever.
I know a handful of Mac users with a broader mind who rise above all this. You’ll find them over in the Windows forum. They have my deepest respect, even more so knowing where they come from, namely this place.
