Quote - Jason, the attack on the thread was beyond disagreement and past all rules of civil discourse. Even if the poster had a point there are ways of expressing yourself without resorting to personal attacks and name calling. If we keep our head calm the dialog is much more constructive.

You will see tomorrow that the final press release has been corrected. Sometimes companies hire PR firms and things slip through the cracks in the pressure of hitting deadlines. We can still sit down and point at misinterpretations without having to resort to personal attacks.

I think this discussion has reached a point of being beyond ridiculous. Being hung up on a term while I spent the past two years promoting LuxRender to thousands of new users is frankly disheartening and making me almost regret that I did it. Almost. Would you please give me the benefit of the doubt in light of my track record?

We have said everything that was needed to be said. I have a brand new product that will be launched tomorrow. It has some of the best code that I ever written and I am extremely proud of it because I spent endless days writing it. It will push forward LuxRender even more and I am tired of having the birthday of a new product being sullied by an absurd semantic discussion.

And all this happened while my wife had a life-threatening experience and I had to rework in two days the whole presentation because I could not go the SIGGRAPH after spending months in preparing for the event. Excuse us for having slipped a bit while we were running around the clock to make things happen.

So, I'm going to stop even reading anything about this wording debacle and focus on the launch of Reality 3 for Poser. I will enjoy the birthday of my new program and open a bottle of champagne tomorrow morning. 

Hopefully you will like the event.

I invite everybody to watch for the press release tomorrow, with more news and information at 9:00am Kalifornia time.

Viva Reality and Viva Lux!

Well said Paolo.  Champagne?  Thought that was a new york kind of toast?  My kind of california toast is a shot of good tequila.. no salt.. no lime... no chaser.
