This is plainly wrong, as so many of MTUs UI decisions are. And sad to say, if you try and bring up the issue on the forum, someone springs vehemently to their defense and instead of discussion you have impassioned flaming. Sort of like you did.
True. I've found that most "product specific" forums are that way. They don't want "discussion" per se, instead they'd prefer just lots of validation.
As a software author with my own forum, I know how this works. I had lots of people defending me and my choices, even to the point that I didn't need to do it myself. Lots of times I had to step in and say, umm, "he really has a point".
You can't just walk in and say "your mama wears army boots", you have to place it in the context of a question. And oh by the way, note to me: "Oh physician, heal thyself!"
