Quote - I personally could give a flying broomstick if 3DU TC2 will convert M2's Toasts to Match M4 toast. If 3dU does not want to convert oh well. I will still but their products due to they are good products. Atleast 3DU stands up for what they believe in, I respect that, what I don't respect is the people who bash 3DU because what 3DU believes in.
I thought this was a community and not a bash fest.
Sooooo ...
... by that logic, we should all respect Idi Amin. He was a very good cannibal, so even if you find eating the flesh of fellow humans repugnant, you still have to respect him for doing it so well, don't you? That's what he believes in ... so, if you don't believe in it and try to call him on it, you're just imposing your bourgeois scruples on the poor guy. Just 'cause he likes to chew the occasional femur is no reason to besmirch his good name, is it?
Or, just maybe, there's an implied disrespect for fellow humans embodied in the act of knoshing on their extremities. Like the implied contempt for those who do not find the actual representation of the human form in art repugnant.
I'm just sayin' ...
