[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 804986"] To be fair, I think the problem has more to do with people not always respecting one another's opinions, rather than people not listening to the facts. A good conversation takes at least two people and they don't necessarily have to share the exact same opinion. I'm not for anyone pointing fingers one way or another, just because they don't agree. Again, to be fair, calling others fanboys and emotionally attached isn't helping things either. It doesn't make you more right. Tests should be taken with a huge grain of salt any ways. They often do not represent what happens in the real world. I am in no way suggesting people ignore facts, but at the end of the day, it's just one data point. We cannot always take everything point blank because a test says so. There are way more reasons to choose/use a particular product such as ease of use, customer support, performance, etc... Everyone is free to like and dislike products, but it needs to be done in a respectful way. A lot of these discussions go side ways, not because people may share a different point than the test results, but because people accuse others for this and that. Again calling people fanboys, emotionally attached and saying others have something wrong with them for liking a product such as WD is being very disrespectful. Just because you don't agree, doesn't mean you are 100% correct. As I've said WD has come along ways on the protection front. Its not perfect, but then again nothing is. I can point to many tests where WD does very well, but you will have some people who think WD is dumb call the test stupid because WD scored well. They are doing the same thing they accuse others of doing. Again, tests aren't everything, they should be taken with a grain of salt. Pick and choose which ever product you like. At the end of the day everyone should just respect each other and their opinions. (y):) I just wanted to say that I've updated my previous post as it came across as being an (enter you own word) lol. I do apologize, I didn't mean for it to come across that way. I really should post until I've had my coffee in the morning. :p [/QUOTE]
