Spreading Rumors
I think it is OK for people to knock or praise a product that they have used and know. On the other hand I think it is bad for people to spread rumors either for or against something when they have no actual knowledge of it. When people speak for Apple (as if they worked for them) saying that Apple will or will not be adding features in the future it really does not help anyone since this is pure speculation on their part. Apple needs to be telling the consumers what their plans for the future are, and they should be the only people doing this.
Never in my life have I seen so many people step up to the plate and pretend to be mouthpieces for a company or product. It is very cult-like behavior and I do applaud Apple for creating possibly the most brand loyal consumers in history.

Wishful thinking, nothing more.

[Gary Huff] “Wishful thinking, nothing more.”
Based on evidence. Some parts of which may coincide with Apple’s comments.

Here you go. My double-response for your double-post.
I find it truly amazing how many Apple apologists there are on this forum.
See, that’s ironic because I find it amazing how many Apple complainers have been whining about Apple apologists. The people slamming Apple outnumber “apologists” 2-1 on this forum and yet anyone who maintains an optimistic point of view strains the credulity of the “haters.”
You say that both sides need to stop pretending that they speak for Apple when it comes to speculation on what features will or won’t be added, but you only slam the “cult-like” fanboys. Where’s your derision for the people saying that Apple isn’t planning on adding multicam back in, or any true “professional” features because they are only interested in making gadgets and toys? You know, the vast majority of posters. There is as much truth to any of that as there is to those saying that FCPX will have all the pro features back by the end of the year.

Andy, can you please provide a link where a post states that Apple will not be adding these features. Please make sure it is phrased as a statement of fact, not “Apple won’t be adding multicam until 2 or 3 versions away” or “I don’t think Apple will ever add multicam because…”

that’s a bit of a strawman.

“that’s a bit of a strawman.”
I’m not making an argument in favor of FCPX, I’m asking for equality for haters and fanboys alike. One cannot say things like, “I think it is bad for people to spread rumors either for or against something when they have no actual knowledge of it,” and then, in the same post say, “Never in my life have I seen so many people step up to the plate and pretend to be mouthpieces for a company or product,” and have any claim to unbiasedness.

Like it or not an information vacuum spawns rumors.
