September 21, 2011 at 12:12 amI think perhaps you should consider reading the COW’s Policies and Code of Conduct.
It may not be my place to say, but I think some of your comments are in violation of the COW’s policy.
Are you actually a contributing editor and forum host for the COW?

September 21, 2011 at 12:33 amWow. You guys are ridiculous. Thats a pretty lapse in judgement though sir. Your an institution, authority in this forum, what you say matters. So being quick to judge without exploring all options first really takes a toll on your bias image against FCPX. Just sayin.

September 21, 2011 at 12:48 amJust to be clear, I am referring to David Roth Weiss’s comments that were directed to Kim Krause.

September 21, 2011 at 1:19 amYeah, when I saw the dead on arrival thread which was up in moments after the software was released, I did think it was pretty ridiculous and showed great, not to mention silly, bias.

September 21, 2011 at 1:25 amA minor faux pas on Mr. Weiss’s part. Given the rich and intelligent input he has provided, I have MUCH more faith in his “credibility” than the nasty few in this thread.

September 21, 2011 at 2:18 amWow David. If you tell’em you’re not drinking their Koolaid they do seem to turn into a bunch of c***s, no matter what their sex. Props to you for maintaining your beleagered integrity. It’s not easy when silly fanaticism runs rampant.
To those critical of DRW’s objectivity: grow up. It’s software not a religion. The man is as neutral about FCX as anyone here.

September 21, 2011 at 2:27 amNot so minor, actually.
Mr Weiss self-described as a “journalist” in this very forum. So he’s positioning himself as a writer who should be judged by journalistic standards.
Heck, I spent 10 years as a contributing editor at a national circulation video magazine and I don’t presume to apply that professional title to myself.
And sorry, but going public with assertions that a critical new feature fails to work, then admitting that you didn’t even take the most rudimentary steps to confirm that before posting it is not confidence building.
In his defense, he was quick to correct the public record as soon as he realized that his experiences weren’t backed up by others public experiences – but that’s precisely the kind of thing that working in professional publishing teaches you to be wary of. I know my editors always challenged me to be sure that anything I wrote purporting to be fact as opposed to personal opinion had to have a solid factual basis before the work was published.
In the blog era, vetting for accuracy is largely a thing of the past.
Think it, post it – is the rule of the day as if these were private conversations between friends rather than public forum posts read by a world wide audience.
No wonder so much of what passes by on the web proves to be ill conceived….
Got to go now, II have to mail some money to the Ethopians so that they can send me my lottery winnings…

September 21, 2011 at 4:34 amSaying this to a LOT of people all at once — yes, this is a full-contact forum, but please abide by the cardinal rule of addressing the issue, not the character or intent of the poster.
The feature is working. Good. Now please help us return the forum to its working order.
Blessings,
Tim
