And to add a note here...
Back in May, Thor was questioning my position on the EPSON orange-shift
issue...
I was being attacked..
Called a "bozo" and "clueless"...
Well, guess what?
Guess who was right?
The EPSON 1270/870/and 875DC inksets are seriously flawed...
CNN.com carried a report on it at:
http://www.cnn.com/2000/TECH/computing/09/14/epson.image.fading.idg/index.html
Even Epson USA's own VP admits it at:
http://macweek.zdnet.com/cgi-bin/storyforums/storyforums/_2000_09_03_0908colorgeek/forum.pl?read=86
I got pilloried on here for my views.. Then I am proven right and Thor
begins
personal attacks again..
This time in a vein in which there never is a "wrong" or "right"...
I wrote the guy offlist last time trying to mend fences and prevent any
future
outbreaks of this kind of nastiness...
I received not one note back...
If that's the posse you want to ride with Cowboy, be my guest...
But there is a huge difference between honest critique and outright
rudeness and personal attack...
Your own commentary falls into the "critique" category, as you cite
specifics, etc... Thor's comments are personal attack..
If you want to defend his comments as appropriate commentary.. I don't
know what to say as any response I might make will unduly fan flames
from coals that best lie unrekindled..
