Ahh, the Internet. Where I can see something that I don’t agree with, and tell readers what I think. And then someone else sees something that they don’t agree with, and tells readers how to act.
I’m really not in need of calming down further: I’m not talking about how KC barbecue is inferior to Texas barbecue - you know, something of real consequence. I’m saying I don’t like the marketing tactics. Not too upsetting - just wrong. But thanks, markleake! The point of my post was, yes, it is likely a library, but the cagey marketing is trendy and feels juvenile, and is a little insulting to me. I won’t lose sleep over it, but I said what I said. Your mileage may vary.
It was quite a long post - so long that I have a warning at the top. jtnyc, if you like reading stuff like that post, great. If you don’t, ignore it. That was good advice, wasn’t it?
I’d like for us all to get something good and have our composing needs met, and I’d personally like it done in a less-sensationalistic manner. And I think that if they insist on this kind of marketing that they really should deliver something great - not okay, not a nice supplemental thing, not the same thing in a different room, not with a famous name attached but no greater functionality. I’m not suggesting that readers stop being excited. Or that they do anything at all. My comment is about the company.
I’m hoping that people who aren’t interested in this kind of response didn’t read it all the way to the end. Sorry about that.
