I am reading that log, and am seeing alot of PR speak myself....
Do you guys actually believe all this stuff that he's saying?

Uhm...is their a transcript up yet? I can't believe they were really saying this...

ChrisRay · 03-25-03, 10:15 PM

Thats really not an unreasonable comment, Because up until very recently thats been true, And alot of designers definately do this.

His answer was as diplomatic as you could hope for with such a question.

people either side of the fence will view the comments as either representative and somewhat pr'd gloss that is to the point... or as a fair load of cow excreta

its the nature of being a supporter... no matter how unbiased you may be.. of one company or the other... fanboyism is inherently in our genes

it is the DEGREE of fanboyism that separates the level headed from the rest...

he could have talked about the little flowers that come with all VW beetles... that would have been highly diplomatic and he would not have been taking sides...

IMO...
