When I read: "Wow that looks really cool AD must be trying really hard to push the.... aw wait no they bought it off Disney." I see bitching, because it brings nothing constructive to the discussion other than take a stab at AD for the sake of taking it. That's the end of the story. If you see it as reasonably voicing a concern then we have distant opinions on what a concern is.
I'm just as concerned (my idea of concern) as anybody, but if you have an argument to make, make it sensibly, or all you're going to get is ignored. It'd also be nice if people had a bit more of an open mind before criticizing something as a triviality without having even read the original paper and use cases. Because when one comment is followed by another in this style: Oh it's crap, we can do that already, they should have invested in ICE instead! Oh it's awesome, we don't get the nice toys! See how if 90% of the first keep turning, literally, every other thread into a stabfest you WILL NOT get the second? That's the rational part. The personal part is that I like(d) this list, enjoyed reading it and posting on it. If every thread turns venomous for the sake of re-discussing the same thing that still has an active thread going for it (or five) the list goes to shit, AD staff is unlikely to keep posting on it, and a valuable resource rots. I get why people are concerned. Does it REALLY need to be made the integral part of EVERY discussion? I'd hope not.
