I only say this out of love for all the forum members. But seriously, what else can you call this place?
A few people have problems with their DA* lenses. Before you know it, dozens of people who don't even own the products are decrying the death of Pentax because of their terrible quality problems.
Someone doesn't like to wait 10 seconds after changing batteries in his new Kx. Before you can snap your fingers there are scads of posts decrying the death of Pentax because of their flawed designs.
Post after post after post -- most written by blowhards who never owned the affected products and never intended to -- venting vitriol and bile at Pentax and all the "fanboys" who point out the obvious. That they don't own the products in question and have never been affected by the horrors they write of.
Lately, posts from worrying fools who read all the early posts from people who were never affected in the first place, and are now joining in and adding their shouts of the terrible QC problems and horrible design problems of the awful Pentax company owned by evil Hoya.
The few voices of reason (like Jim King) who actually have experienced a problem and are working with Pentax in a positive way to resolve it -- are shouted down or ignored. How do you keep your unflappable cool, Jim? I need a bottle of it!
I have loved this place and the posters in it a long time, but I think this forum has sunk to a new low, and I definitely need a "time out."
