But that's my point. The attitude is that since he has had issues with the software he labels it bad software on that basis. I don't have those problems but for some reason I'm not allowed to dispute his label of the software.

I'm just trying to use the false logic presented to me in the same manner. I do not have problems with Mozilla Firefox, therefore, I demand that the world agree with me that it is "good software". How is that any different?

But in the end, it's just "software" and different people have different experiences.




Since I cannot reply to burgerbrain below for some reason...

Yes, he is. He labels the software as bad and apparently expects everyone to agree.

Anyone who states that Product A is bad because of his negative experience with said product while ignoring/discounting other people's positive experience with the same product is demanding agreement.

A better response, to me at least, from someone in that situation is, "I have had problems with Firefox and therefore I choose to use Chrome as I feel it is a better browser."

There's a difference between saying one product is better than another and just labeling one of them as bad. Especially when it's based roughly on personal experience.


Utter nonsense. He is merely expressing his frustration with the software, and you are attempting to silence and discredit dissident.


Well, then I guess we'll agree to disagree.


Is he demanding that the world agree with his assessment?
