That attitude voids the purpose of being here. I've been wrong on things before and admit I usually require proof before I will change my mind, after all I'm in the "Show Me" state, but when shown I'm wrong I change my view. I remember a couple years ago being in a debate on rear surround speakers, I followed what I saw in high end stores and had been told, that the rears should point at the listening position. This I believe is becoming more accepted. At the time though Dolby's website sure enough showed diagrams backing the other guys position that the rears should fire at one another, even in a DD set up, so I had no choice but to fall in line. It was humbling because the person was a lot younger than me. I played around with my owned speakers and I actually left them firing at each other because it did seem to be the best sound effect. I recently switched them back to pointing at my listening seat for a while. Any way, let's not digress.
First I'll admit that I haven't had any negative interaction with Pixel (that I can remember anyway).... but I'm not sure whether being irritating and obstinate is really that big of a deal... I don't think there is anyone more irritating and obstinate on this site than SpankingVanillaIce but most people just laugh off his comments and move on....

Now if the arguement is that Pixel is rude (which Spanky definitely is not) then I would argue that there are many rude posters on this site as well.... I haven't peeked into the cables forum in 8 years because of the type of flame wars that used to inhabit those threads... then the format wars (SACD v DVD-A were pretty heated) and now this Blu Ray HD-DVD stuff is pretty heated and seems to be where most of the fights with Pixel are coming from...
