Why the heck is it your "DUTY"

In Response To: You are in Denial! ()

: It is my DUTY to let people who read in this
: site (which is very Omega biased) become
: aware of Omega's SHORTCOMINGS!!!

Helloooooooooooo!!!!!!!! This is an OMEGA forum, of course its Omega biased. You know Watch Guy, its not the subject, its the delivery. Clearly there are others that have the same criticism of the brand, like Chuck M. and George Z., but its done a little more tastefully and with a degree of facts that are extremely lacking in your posts. I like to refer to it as healthy criticism.

This is an open discussion forum, so say what the hell you want to, but outright ranting without any factual information or statistics is just Trolling and is not welcome. Your venting frustration of your Omega ownership experience is not "healthy" criticism, but more like the ramblings of a jilted individual.

Tone down the negativity a little. If you want to criticize, then fine. Embellish a little on what happend to your Omega(s), how you feel that the modifications they do to the base 2892 A2 are causing the problems with the movement, or that Omega's quality control has gone downhill, with maybe some stats, insider knowledge, etc., but just to say: "OMEGA sucks, all other brands are better, go buy a Breitling" is not a very good delivery method.

And last, but not least, why is it your DUTY to inform? As I said in my earlier post, I have 3 Omega's, none of which have had any problem. If your Omega had performed without a problem, would you be on this forum singing Omega praises with equal "enthusiasm"? Let us make up our own minds, we are all intelligent enough to do so.
