Aside from the fact I named two forums and a social media channel that used?
No you didn’t. You said: “There’s quite a few threads in various places such as Reddit, TZ forums and YouTube videos about bad experiences.” That’s abject nonsense in isolation, you might as well say “well, a bloke in a pub said…” or “I read on the Internet that…”
Where are these threads? What videos? What even is a “TZ forum”?
I can’t be arsed.
QED.
Instead it’s turning into perhaps the inevitable character assassination
Well, no, that’s just not the case is it.
Rather, you’re seemingly talking bollocks, and when being [called out for talking bollocks | asked to explain further as to what you’re referring to] you’re taking the hump rather than engaging in the rant that you yourself started. :shrug:
I have no interest in “character assassination.” I couldn’t keep track of usernames back when I was supposed to, I don’t know you from half a dozen similarly-named users. But what I do have a degree of interest in (to my eternal fault) is facts. And as presented, nothing here adds up.
Take it personally if you must, but my position is simply “show us” otherwise you’ve created a thread to sulk about fiction.
