For someone who goes on so much about understanding English properly, you apparently don't understand that calling things stupid does not imply anger. Irritation maybe, but that's hardly the same thing. You are also taking this thread (which is obviously a joke) way too seriously and are making yourself look like a jackass.
On an unrelated note, having 4 accounts is against the rules.

YESIAM!
I think that cubers in general should worry less about what cubes they are using, but that is probably a little hypocritical...

crashdummy001: Well, instead of responding to all your points directly I will just leave it up to the members of this forum to decide who they think is "in the right" here. If you really would like me to respond to a particular point feel free to specify.
I'll just say one thing. You don't know me personally so you wouldn't be expected to know, but I will assure you that I never get mad. I am not an angry person; I literally do not have it in me to get mad. It appears that the reason you think I was mad is because you seem to think that I was making a serious proposal in this thread but that is clearly not the case; it was obviously somewhat of a joke (although I was making a serious point behind it, as I later made clearer).
It is pretty obvious to me that you misunderstood what I was saying (probably not helped by all the other people that also misunderstood) and then made a ragepost type reply (NOTE: I am not implying that you were angry; it is possible to flame/rage/rant without actually being angry) and now that you have been exposed you feel like you have been backed into a corner and the natural reaction is to "lash out". It is a shame that you aren't smart enough to respond in a way that exposes me to look like a fool. Then again as I say that I'm not certain that would have been possible to do (because I am so damn smart ohhhhh yeaaaaaa).

**mm yea I agree, agree, yep definately is way overreacting like a child..wait..LOLOLOL**
I understand what Dene is saying now.
I comprehend it, even empathize with it, but I must say that some people simply have different world views.
To me, something that is high quality requires no extra work. To me, that means it is good out of the box (unless it's a DIY, obviously, since it wouldn't be built yet) That is entirely logical. There's a difference between what something is, as in it is good right now, and something that has potential to be good if you work on it.
Again, I understand, but I'm also saying that this misunderstanding was there for a reason. I don't see how something is high quality in the general sense of the term if you have to make all the best improvements to it yourself. Perhaps next time when cubes are recommended, it should be specified that it has potential to be good if you do extra work to it to make it be that.
High quality does in fact mean "I take it out of the box and it will be awesome" to a lot of people. It's the logical conclusion. You are saying what it is and not what it could be given <insert thing> being done to it.
