who says it was? you were at the meetings?

you say "  Your contributions are appreciated, but let's keep things in perspective." yet you are not doing the same by assuming the design is BB's alone. but hey. he's easy to unload on since he's here.

sorry if this offends you but it certainly offends me when some one assumes things that they have no idea on.

A user here asks a question to another user with inside knowledge about the development of the software.  That user was rebuked for raising concerns and expressing preferences.  No doubt that a multitude of individuals were involved in the development process.  I never assumed Bagginsbill is the sole contributor to Poser.  It's his response to another user that I take issue with.   The opinions of the other user here were significantly discounted.  Please remember that this is a product that is intend to sell.

There is no reason to be defensive and I'm not offended.  I have stated my views as you have stated yours.  But it is not necessary to have an inside knowledge of the workings of a company to see the manner in which concerns from consumers are addressed.  Further, this is the poser forum, where this type of criticism is meant to be explored.   Nobody is being unloaded on - and if you think this the case then maybe these forums have become way too sensitive.  Everyone, including Bagginsbill, has chosen to post to this topic - so there shouldn't be any surprise that there is some impassioned views leading to some disagreement.  Otherwise, why would anyone care to even comment?
