Roman, no offense, but I don't think it's oversensitivity. From following this thread from the beginning (and I mean including the origional locked thread), this has been a long time in coming. When MRCUR was incorrect (beyond his control) regarding the origional Falcon release, individuals decended on him like vultures. By this, I mean they attacked him relentlessly, and usually with personal attacks and name calling. He was a good sport about it, but it was definitely uncalled for. This continued through the rest of the thread (even after he graciously apologized for Microsoft changing the Falcon's release date) until it was locked by Boid.
While they haven't been beaten up nearly as bad in this thread, some of the comments made by individuals started to sound eerily familar to the previous thread. I'm sure that alot of the "sensitivity" you refer to still lingers from the previous unjustified beatings they endured. Either way, and for whatever reason, we lost two excellent contributors to this forum thread meant for the sole purpose of killing time with endless speculation regarding the next hardware revision of the 360. After all, who wants to toss out an opinion or something they heard if they'll need to reattach their head after each post?
On a side note, Fusker/MRCUR can't reveal their source of information. Everyone, please quit asking! After all, individuals working for major corporations doing engineering/design work usually must sign an NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) prior to employment. This NDA is a legally binding document that if violated can have extreme consequences. Best case scenario you're just fired. Worst case scenario, you face imprisionment and/or lost revenue reimbursement to the organization, in addition to being unemployed for (potentially) the rest of your life. If information is being leaked, its best for everyone that the source remains anonymous.
You can believe the information, or don't. No one is saying to treat everything you hear as gospel. By all means, research and validate everything. Just don't expect everyone/anyone else to do everything for you just because you demand it. (Note: this is not directed at anyone in particular, nor meant as a personal attack)
I don't mean to start a flame war on this, nor am I trolling. Sorry for taking us so far off topic (again) in this monstrously worded post, but this is something that needed said for quite some time now.
