The word "crazy" is unhelpful

kstuart:
All lossless file formats should produce identical results.

However, it is unhelpful to tell people they are "crazy" when...

... all they are doing is believing something they read on the Internet.

A very large majority of people believe at least one false thing they have read on the Internet.

So, it is better to explain why their viewpoint is false, rather than simply ridicule it.

(I did not list any of the "false beliefs that people acquired by reading on the Internet" that polling shows a majority believe at least one of, because that would obviously derail the thread.)

AlexS:
What's crazy is locking thread just when a discussion can start to get sensible. That's censorship. I started a thread recently on windows certification whereby people were darn right hostile.

No actual discussion took place about the actual benefits for consumers, rather it was dismissed as marketing nonsense rather than what it actually is... an excellent QA tool. Apparently though because M$ hadn't created a website to advertise certified apps it demonstrates their total priority is marketing ;)...

However the whole point was simply to get JRiver to run the parser to see if it comes up with any outstanding issues. We didn't even get round to discussing the benefits it was just immediately dismissed as nonsense. M$ certification was a bit of a scam in the past but it's now pretty useful and legit. I'm sorry people can't see it for what it is...You need to take a look at it again.. Even if you don't list your product for some reason, the parser is still a great tool.


 Or maybe I need to be certified.. Must have imagined it.

That's right, it is. Which is completely normal. This is a private forum owned by JRiver.

If you come to my home, you also can't just say whatever you want with no consequences. If you offend me, or start a discussion I don't want to have, I'll ask you to stop or leave.

Same deal here. In that thread, you asked a question, it was answered. Further discussion was not going to be helpful, so the topic was closed.

That's the deal. If you want to have a site where you can say whatever you want, there are plenty of web hosting companies that would be happy to help you out.
