Re: A regular forumer from lowyat.net got bashed in editorial note in hypertune by Ma
For what it's worth, I actually like Hypertune.
It may not be as technical as some publications but then again, readers like me are not the hardcore petrol tech head.
What I needed was a mag that point me to the right direction to get the mods I needed, written in a language that a layman can comprehend and at the same time not being too simplistic or general. Importantly, they give you an indication of who and where the local tuners and accessories suppliers are located and review what services they offer.
So they served my needs and for my purposes, I think highly of them.
I don't have any problems with Mark's writing style. In any case, he can't please everyone out there. Maybe publishing his reaction in an editorial was a tad extreme, but then again, people made disparaging remarks about his credibility as a writer and using langauge that was getting personal and doing all that in a public and popular forum, which may have repercussions on the magazine's sales.
I'm not surprised Mark reacted the way he did. You poke his eye out, and it's understandable he will return the favor. Like someone else said here..."tact".
