I dunno graphicsguy... On one hand you claim you're new to rendering and all this, then you make a claim that just after merely trying things out, you decided one software is better then the other. I can totally see that could peeve a number of people.

You could have phrased this in a much more neutral way, like, 
Hi, I'm new to this, and I've tried DS, and Poser, and Poser appeals tyo me more at this time...
and then say, could someone point me to a good discussion on comparison between the two, as I'm undecided which one I want to use.

That would be much more open and honest dialog, then someone rather new to both software professing they have the experience or knowledge to decide which one is better.
For one, you have to specify better in what... I've used both software, and there are things in which DS id better then Poser, and others where Poser does better then DS.

You can't expect open, honest and objective dialog when you jump in with prejudicial and authoritative sounding statements right off the bat.

Prejudicial, meaning you already decided one is better then the other, which doiesn't really allow for much of a discussion, unless one has a burning desire to jump in and start butting heads, which is the tone your subject line sets.
Authoritative, meaning, you seem to already know which is better, and by the tone of your title, one may want to brace themselves for an unpleasant discussion.

Perhaps you didn't quite realize just how confrontational just your subject line came across. My first thought looking at it was, uh-oh, I better put my flame retardant suit on before getting into this one.

Seeing how you got worried that your post was removed, when it didn't stick, tells me that deep down inside you are anticipating confrontation.
