That is your opinion, and as was recently shown, it is an opinion based on inaccurate information. How many posts did you make railing against DPReview claiming an anti-Canon bias because you believed Canon had a zero blackout EVF and Canon had it long before Sony?

True, I'm not perfect. I also acknowledged that point as I wasn't aware of the differences, which I was made aware.

None of us are perfect. We all make mistakes. Few problems though... It took multiple people correcting you over several days before you realized your mistake. This is not the only recent example of you misunderstanding technical details.  A couple other examples... You are still posting that the M6 II has the best in class rolling shutter. Multiple times it has been pointed out that the X-T3 is 1ms faster. Yeah, 1ms is pretty meaningless, but only one of these can be "best".  You have also made multiple posts claiming that only Canon had silent focusing STM lenses for video. Every mirrorless system has silent focusing stepper motor lenses, they just are not labeled with the STM acronym.  Most importantly, you are using your misunderstood technical details as a basis for slandering DPReview's integrity.

If this was just mixing up a few details when debating cameras, it wouldn't be a big deal. as I said, we all make mistakes. However, you have been repeatedly claiming an anti-Canon bias at DPReview and the basis of your claims is built on a foundation of wrong information. Basically, you are calling a whole group of people liars and your proof is your own lie. I do not think for a moment that you are intentionally spreading false information, but if you are going to attack the integrity of another person, you better be double sure you have your facts straight.

The "dirty brand politics" sounds a bit slanderous and is just your opinion. I realize that you are loyal to Canon, but I believe that years of loyalty have clouded your judgement. Because you only shoot with Canon, you do not examine the reviews of other brands products as closely as you would a Canon review, or you don't read the other reviews at all. Sony and all of the other brands get plenty of criticism in the reviews here on DPReview, you're just not seeing it. Also, by only shooting with Canon, you are not fully aware of the capabilities of other systems. Every system has pluses and minuses. Without owning other systems, it is very difficult to appreciate the pluses of other systems. It seems that every person making the claim that DPReview has an anti-Canon bias is someone who has been using Canon gear exclusively for years and years.

Not true:

Did you happen to read Richard Butler's responses? He gave a very well reasoned explanations for the DPReview scores/awards and how they have very little to do with the pros/cons list.

You clearly have a bias against DPReview by thinking they have a bias against Canon. The problem is that it is incredibly difficult to dispel this bias as it requires proving a negative.

I truly apologize if my response comes off as too harsh as that is not my intent.

Quite. But, I've known you for some time. I personally won't be letting off the gas of giving correct context, to DPR narrative I disagree with, which others share the sentiment of. And, I'll continue stubbing my toes as any person would along the way.

And I hope we can continue to have these spirited discussions and that you will continue to hold me accountable.

Let me flip this on you:

Why are you still on the M forum? Honestly. You're here, critiquing my responses, on a forum that is not your primary platform (it's Fuji). Not being mean, just a curiosity I've had since you sold off most of your Canon goods. Are you considering coming back, just being helpful, or you like to debate? Any are fine answers.

The main reason is that this has been my "home" since 2014.
