dfarris, no I have net met Michael in person. Nor have I met any of the EE folks in person. I am well aware of the fact this medium does not convey message tones, facial expressions, etc. Which is why I cannot fathom WHY Michael continually beats on the EE people and even the C3DAutodesk team as much as he does.
I have had the urge to write before about this, and actually have but decided against sending the message. I am usually quite easy going and really do try to see the poster's point of view as they may be trying to convey it. But his constant negativity towards those who also are here trying to help just finally rubbed the skin down to bleeding sores and I couldn't take it anymore.
I do appreciate the time he puts into helping others. I also appreciate the time all the others put into helping all of us. But when he attacks those that are essentially here trying to do the same as he, that's what I don't need to hear/read.
Michael,
It wasn't an attempt to defend EE as I'm sure they could do that themselves. It was MY observation that your negative, unsubstantiated, opinion should be left at the door in this case. Din0 gave an informed, useful, response to Craig and somehow you felt the need to make an unnecessary comment that had nothing to do with helping anyone.
Again, I am NOT attempting to defend the EE team. This is merely what I have observed over the years.....
Every one of them has said, at one time or another,:
that C3D has issues
that C3D may NOT be the best choice for a firm's work flow
yeah, I think that the ***** (insert command of your choice here) sucks rocks, too.
that there ARE other choices out there
What can I do to help you get through this?
Not once have I seen them blast another user/teacher for their participation in what ever form that may take. And that even applies to you, even after the shots you've taken at them.
So, to summarize since it seemed to go right past you or my facial expression wasn't caught :-/ ....
You're views are just that, your views. I have no problem with you expressing them and I even read a good majority of them, so long as they remain constructive and thought provoking. This, to me, is not "thought provoking":
For some reason one would expect that those folks autodesk tattoed on their soul. And here I see that they now represent and sell a competing product to c3d. Wow, I think I may have to keep an eye on the sky and a large umbrella in case that flock of winged porcine happen overhead.
There is not one thing there that is of benefit to anyone, except maybe yourself. And THAT is what I took offense to.
