Your advocacy of blatantly inaccurate data and poorly researched reviews reflects directly on your posts here, where you accuse people of saying things they never said (for starters, I had not previously mentioned other sources, so your libellous crap about "the ones you want us to use" is precisely that). Moreover, I am sure that most people here can recognise basic factual errors in reviews, even when you refuse to acknowledge that they exist, or that a "review" based on such is not worth the time of day.

No where did I advocate inaccurate data or poorly researched reviews. You really need to learn how to read better. It would prevent you from making so many mistakes.

You made the statement: "There are plenty of other sites which have better reviews, and it's those we should pay attention to." That is what I reffered too. So your accusation of libel is false since the truth is an absolute defense to that claim. You wanted to tell the forum to stay away from one site and go to others. You don't have that right.

I agree that most people can recognize basic factual errors, but so what. All sources have some errors in their review because they have such tight time lines and limited usage of the product.

Again, you need to learn to read better, I never said anything like your accusation. I explicitly have said in this thread that they did have errors.

You talk about a review based on factual errors not being worth the time of day. Yet this is plainly wrong. I have never said that it would. I believe that the reviews may have some errors but they are not BASED on that. I also believe that every site has some errors. That includes your favorite sites Ars Technica and TechCrunch.

Over all, you have misread and misconstrued pretty much everything I said. However, that is ok since I expect that from all of your posts.
