[Chris Kenny] “FCS3 is literally unavailable,”
pfffft
IT IS unavailable…I don’t give a flying duck what you say when what you say is I have to buy a truffle pig to find it. I have made 2 attempts at getting an extra copy and both failed and both took considerable effort…
Are you going to tell me I didn’t try hard enough? I’m a nit wit? Perhaps I just don’t understand the intricacies of the power of online shopping and haggling…but do you know me? Or my situation…? Do you know everyone else’s too? Do you know if I trust just any pirate with a peg leg online and would love to grant him my CC number…oh, right there’s paypal…so, now I have to go get a paypal account for this BS…a month ago I just had to walk 3 blocks and open the door to a mall and hand over my debit card…I know I know, that is just too easy. In my business, things have to be difficult, things have to have uncertainty and things have to be dealt in the back alley of the internet…

[Chris Kenny] “It’s “dogmatic” to point out that a situation other people are claiming is back-and-white actually isn’t? That rather sounds like the opposite of dogmatism, actually.”
Good grief…you are getting tired.
Tit for tat now? What are they claiming there Chris? Taking it to the extreme is your problem, not theirs. If they feel what has happened here was done in bad faith, and that brought on a major inconvenience to their future with Apple, who are you to judge that? Or sit on your throne badgering them with “you can still get it on ebay” or “if you are the type that needs a future seat, that’s your problem not Apples, you’re in the minority”
Give us all a break…

[Chris Kenny] “Seriously? It’s “Ideological” and “dogmatic” to point out that while Apple should have left FCS3 on sale, their decision not to has not actually made it literally unattainable? Or to point out that the inability to buy additional seats of it direct from the vendor may be inconvenient for some, but will not actually do substantial material harm to anyone?”
You continually marginalize the point like everything else in Apples favor. Because there is a “loophole” in being able to still obtain an EOL copy, you argue this point simply because you can…THAT is dogmatic Chris. And inexcusable to Apples moves. Period.
I appreciate your efforts to correct information, point people in the direction where things have moved and sometimes even appreciate the “opinions” on some of the forward thinking…but my appreciation doesn’t have to include your shortsightedness replaced by blind faith and your patronizing attitude that others just don’t see it, while marginalizing concerns and those that are choosing to migrate as if they are impatient, luddites or can’t see the “potential”…as if that seriously needs to be pointed out in every post…?
Honestly, with all due respect, just because you can argue something, doesn’t mean you should, or in any way feel it’s constructive when in the end, you’re being divisive, dismissive, marginalizing and in some cases patronizing…what’s dogmatic about it the most is, you act like you are saying this for the first time, when it’s not, and has been responded to ad nauseum the first 20 times you’ve said it……

[Sean Thomas] “I guess if I had all of my eggs in one basket and the basket broke, I would be in an uproar too. I’m glad that I built on diversity.”
Wasn’t even a nice try. Give it up sparky. I may not have the patience left to engage your nonsense, but here at the Cow, you will find yourself very quickly, out of your league…

[Sean Thomas] “Not one thing new? I am one of the few that is trying to say – STOP WHINING. Give it time, don’t jump ship, give it a try or wait for X.1. Everyone is jumping on the hate Apple & FCP X bandwagon – I am not.”
You think that’s new? You posted a bogus tasteless kool-aid letter from Jobs that was made well over a week ago saying the exact same thing. Look up the word – redundant. Don’t be surprised if your picture is there…
[Sean Thomas] “Maybe I have not accomplished anything but my intention of trying to stop all the whining is not arrogance.”
Was that all it was. Oh, I guess all the pejoratives and name calling were intended to engage people in the hopes they might bow to your revolutionary and thought-provoking enlightenment…? The irony is rich. Usually whining is accompanied with name calling. I wonder, will you ever comprehend the purest of irony from your, yes, written like a 12 year old wrote it, diatribe…

[kim krause] “i wish people would stop bitching about apple abandoning us.”
I wish you people would stop calling the anger at the decision to end of life products many of us have invested thousands of dollars in without warning as “bitching”…you think an inadequate program with an inoperable timeline that makes no bones about breaking outside links is evolved? you think there is only half a story going on here….?
Maybe you don’t want to address it. So you use pejoratives, bad analogies and tell us to “evolve”…like we’re luddite dim witted neanderthals who refuse to embrace “change”…
Seriously, opinions vary and we can disagree on specifics, mismanagement, handling of the disingenuous marketing etc. But don’t dare call pulling what I have built my profession around after years of trying to pull me into their products without warning or support “bitching” or I’m a cave man who doesn’t want to learn to use a knife…
I’ve been using the knife just fine for over a decade, and instead of making it sharper or giving me a saw, they gave us a toothpick and yanked my knife away and said, you’ll like this better…
I wish the stupid and ridonkulous analogies would end…
Bitching? The only “bitching” I see are the koolaide apologists who are bitching about people justifiably angry at Apples moves here

[Sean Thomas] “another way of saying what I was thinking in the “Drama” posts.”
You were “thinking” in that post…? That’s rich
-
The only thing weird in your thread is you complain about the “DRAMA!!” so you have obviously been following the reaction to this rollout but in your diatribe conflating the DRAMA!!!! to the “haters and complainers” you didn’t say anything original. Not one word. And nothing was said in earnest. This was not a good faith argument.
So to sum, it is weird, when you have accomplished nothing here, trying to incite reactions by your arrogance, most of which, all of us have had the displeasure to read repeatedly every day in the first week and have already thoughtfully responded to…so how could you not know that your revolutionary parroted arrogance or ignorance would do nothing but illicit eye-rolling…
What are you? 12?

[Sean Thomas] ”
FCP 7 didn’t stop working when FCP X was released.”Wow…never heard this before…how insightful! Just the right dose of patronizing bs to set me straight and see the light

[Chris Kenny] “the fact that Apple stopped doing so does not mean copies of it are literally unattainable and, realistically, will not have the sort of apocalyptic effects on people’s businesses that some have tried to claim.”
Wow…
This has become completely dogmatic for you. Ideologically argued at every turn…
I’ve seen this kind of argument more so in politics than frakkin software. In your faith based attempts for everyone else to see the light, you have completely blinded yourself…
