I stopped reading PR a long time ago. It's nothing more than spin to show how a product is in one single way better than something else. Personally, it's nothing but a bunch of bullshit to me. You can make just about anything look good under the right conditions. However, those press releases are supposed to be backed up by something and this one isn't. That's where the problem comes in. It has to be backed up by something.
I remember the days when there weren't any review sites out there. The only thing you could do is go by PR and "mini-reviews" in magazines or ads that in many cases were nothing more than ads for the products? Those who remember the old Computer Shopper magazines which were nothing short of a friggin' encyclopedia in thickness know this.
Kyle, like others, chose to take on the job of making sure we don't have to "rely" on that anymore. They wade through the bullshit to get to what is really there once you remove the pretty packaging.
I don't care how he goes about wading through the bullshit. Everyone has their own way and his is direct and to the point. I'm generally a mild person but if you try to jerk me around or question my interest in information you're going to be in for a shitstorm.
He owes neither Commodore Computers nor any of their PR people anything. However, they have to convince him to publish their PR on his site which he pays for. He pays for the hardware, the bandwidth and all the people that keep it running. These are the facts, accept it or not.
Quit trying to change the discussion by saying Kyle was an asshole. It doesn't matter if he's an asshole. Hell, I'm an asshole and proud of it as I'm sure Kyle is also. Just deal with the actual meat of the argument, Commodore Computer's PR guy would not supply the information Kyle requested. If they had the documents to prove their claims, the PR guy would have turned them over immediately. The attitude the PR guy assumed is nothing more than comedy relief for the saga. It's nothing more than the sidekick that does nothing but state witty one liners every once in a while.
