Just because something isn't your favourite topic and folks rant on about it doesn't de-legitimize the site or make it less worthy.
Because:
1) There will always be those who chase windmills in all forums. I have been guilty as charged.
2) If there is a long rant and you don't like it, move on.
I was going to list more but I notice this is post about a post which seems not all that important because all forums are watched, by definition. And folks in dpreview posted threads recommending members come here.
