No need to shut up, your contribution has been constructive, and I appreciate that. Even though I think your specific suggestions are impractical...
No, it really wouldn't tell him all he needs to know about it. Some programs won't install for some but work flawlessly for others. Your input is...
Just remembered a point I wanted to reiterate and re-emphasize, namely that another method to mitigate this problem is the other side of...
Interesting idea, but it might lead to unnecessary confusion, and it doesn't address bias, but rather civilility. But perhaps civil dialog and...
Yes, I think that is the wrong view. Because, even though at first I also supported more formal regulation (see post #32), I'm mostly advocating...
To preface this, I would like to thank everyone that is taking this seriously, earnestly considering the subject matter of this thread, and...
First, thanks for taking this seriously and responding as such. I'm glad we both see the value of my goal with this, unfortunately we both don't...
I guess there is no point continuing on this. And there was no dance involved, I honestly think that you were basing your comments on the other...
Obviously there is some confusion. Otherwise, your comment that I quoted in my last post wouldn't make sense. It seems obvious that your...
Again, the same confusion many are having with the point I'm making. I think the strange way this thread started, the usage of 'objective', and...
I must be missing something, but I don't see how londonbeat's post answers my question or explains what you meant. I apologize if it is obvious,...
Apology accepted. I genuinely appreciate the change of heart, or more precisely the change in perspective. I also hope that you can learn...
Not really. I use objective in the sense of one's views and comments not being rooted in or unduly influenced by the biases discussed in this...
Again, the point of this thread is not so that I don't have to be bothered with biased comments, because if it were then I wouldn't have made it...
I've only gone off-topic to respond to your off-topic posts. Granted some of my posts might be lengthy, but then again the nature of the...
If your only concern right now is to secure your computer, then why would you bother reading a thread titled "Are members being objective enough...
I'm not trying to get people to change the style in which they post, but rather the substance of what they post and the motivation for posting it.
Not sure if you are talking about the substance of this thread, or the manner in which it was presented. The former is simply a natural outcome of...
So your saying the biases I discussed are rooted in the contribution of developers here? I realize it's not that they are contributing that causes...
Care to elaborate? What exactly do you mean by a 'fanboy thread'? What I get from it, is that you're saying that those participating in it are...
Sorry if I wasn't clear. When I say 'baises' I am referring to those that I've described throughout this thread, namely commercially driven bias...
Because many of the people that come here seeking help are limited in their know-how and tend to think of the members here as advanced in terms of...
Honestly people, is it that hard to read the entire thread before posting? As I said before, and subsequently quoted to clarify for someone else,...
Again, I'm not saying that people will be able to rid themselves completely of these biases, but by recognizing them and genuinely trying to...
I previously suggested a twofold solution, self-regulation on everyone's part, and some formal regulation from the Mods. Obviously, the latter...
