But that's what I'm saying. Intention and implication aren't always in tune. If I'm getting that vibe, just imagine what the owner/potential owner of a vB5 board is thinking.

Again, there's nothing wrong with telling people not to buy the version. No one's saying don't share your opinion, or express your concerns. All I'm saying is, once that's done, every thread that even broaches the subject doesn't have to be derailed into an in depth discussion as to why it's so bad, and it doesn't have to be the requisite battle round of supporters v. haters. Not just because it gets tiresome, but because it's probably off-putting to new visitors. The best threads in this forum have, and always will be, the one's where we help people make up their own minds. Even if we think they're wrong.
