Ian, I don't know how I COULD express my opinion in a more polite manner. The fact that you don't agree with it doesn't stem from the WAY I said it. You and I both know that there are others on this forum that are incapable of expressing something without insult and taunt, but no matter what we disagree on, we both refuse to get nasty and personal about it. Reasonable men can agree to disagree reasonably.

Yes, I know you have stated you prefer the PSR keybed, many times. I DO remember what you wrote. But you have failed to even MENTION the crux of my post, which is that, without any other critical mention of a Yamaha feature, how is one to separate out the TRUE likes from the uncritical acceptance? It's BALANCE that I wish we had. You know that I am as willing to post my opinions about Roland's poor features as I am its' strong points, and perhaps that lends credence to what I say when I DO gush a bit.

But I don't feel insulted when someone suggests that I MIGHT like my G70 a bit lighter, or with a better guitar system, or even a better piano sound. I may not agree with that (especially the latter) but at least, unless it is presented in a vicious, personal way, I don't feel insulted. I am not accusing you of being Communist (despite most Americans equating social democratism as the same thing!), or a pedophile or even a curling fan... Nor am I getting insulted that you think I'm insulting you (which I'm not ).

I'm just posting about my thoughts... And you and I BOTH know that, if I DID want to insult you, there wouldn't be any question about it! I respect you too much for that, and I hope that you can revisit how you feel about my post with a more detached viewpoint. It's a disagreement, NOT an insult, and I hope that you can see the difference. I simply can't figure out how to make my point any politer... all the reference to the keybed is just an EXAMPLE of how things get out of hand when we don't openly discuss everything. I'm sorry if you saw it differently. It wasn't intended that way. Honestly...



Thing is, Ian, if they DID replace it with an FSX keybed, WOULD you then complain? That is what I have trouble believing, not that you prefer the action...
