let me reciprocate. as you're painting (quacking) pragmatism as fanboyish-antics, let's paint your passive aggressiveness, cynicism, and fake winkies as more hateful agitation. see how that works?But let me help you out: if you walk like a one-who-pokes-fun-at-fanboyish-antics and talk like a one-who-pokes-fun-at-fanboyish-antics...
I've seen enough of your dismissals of whomever expressing the tiniest criticism of Nikon's ways with the 1 line that I do not buy your faux appeal to pragmatism. Your way is pragmatic, and others' are not?

so you are admitting to being passive aggressive. good. we can always debate pragmatism, but we don't need to add any hateful agitation.I've seen enough of your dismissals of whomever expressing the tiniest criticism of Nikon's ways with the 1 line that I do not buy your faux appeal to pragmatism.

you weren't poking fun, but being cynical. maybe for you they're one in the same? there's room for lots of views and qualifications in this forum, and while hating on Nikon for imaginary slights may be cathartic, Nikon's really not that much different from other camera makers in my view.

Just because you don't like it and call it "hateful agitation" doesn't make it so.
Wrong again. And you can't possibly know that. I find your dismissals rather comical, and I was indeed poking fun at you, hence the winkies. If you don't like it then don't be so dismissive of others with sensibilities that are different than yours.
Nikon is not a third-rate company. It is a world-class imaging company with a distinguished pedigree. That some people expect more from them should be no surprise and cannot be wantonly dismissed as "hating on Nikon." That others have higher expectations than you or do not share your sense of enchantment does not entitle you to ding their sensibilities and concerns. It is not the case that you are the pragmatic one, but others not so much.
if you care to debate differences in opinion — fine. if we disagree — fine. but if you accuse someone of being apologetic, you better come armed with specific examples.
this whole battery issue is a tempest in a tea pot. particularly as it's entirely within reason that the best case scenario for booking cargo (2~6 weeks), shipping these batteries in bulk across the Pacific (2~3 weeks), processing through customs (x weeks), and booking special transport to warehouse for explosive materials might take in the range of 2~3 months. that's before any stress testing issues before the batteries leave the sub-contractor, docking delays, dock worker slow downs, and/or a number of other logistical issues.
it's easy to froth people up by claiming "Nikon doesn't give a Sh*t" — but i'd rather err on the pragmatic before the cynical. now that it looks like the batteries are starting to trickle in, this issue will probably become moot. JMO.
I may as well answer here, to keep the noise in the same place. There is no intent to "froth" anyone. The only person that seems all frothed as if someone shot their dog is you.[]

true, but as you can't refute anything specific to this thread, your piggybacking atop another poster's resentment makes you appears hateful (spiteful, hurt, distressed). i mean, did you really imply i was apologetic because i claimed the other camera makers can also be frustrating? if that's all you got it seems to me low and petty.
i'd find this easier to believe if your initial remarks and their timing didn't seem so petty. perhaps you should reserve your comical ambitions for those instances where it's pertinent? that's the true sign of a rapier like wit.
same of Sony, Lenovo, Apple ... to name but a few. all of them have had their share of lithium battery delays. some even safety related issues. this before we can get into a number of grievances about different camera makers. IMO, it's the alarmists which propagate fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) where you should perhaps apply your comical talents. it could mitigate their cries of alarm in a crowded forum theater.
I've made it crystal clear for you, and I can do no more, but I'll say it one last time. If you do not like being called on your antics, then don't be so dismissive of others' sensibilities and preferences.

yes, i'd call that passive-agressive. however i'm not here to debate your flawed reasoning, just try to figure out why you'd attack someone who tamped down a questionable claim.
