I think you are a worthy candidate for membership. ::)
Look, it's a reality unfortunately. We have this tightly knit group of very knowledgeable people, who can be very helpful indeed, but also have a tendency to fiercely defend "their" brand. Voicing a balanced opinion which acknowledges the strength of the products, but also points out some weaknesses (which may be more relevant to some, less to others) can be very difficult indeed in face of that group. It's "If you are not with us, you are against us"...
And the fact that those people profusely thank each other for every post that restates their pro-Siglent opinions does get under my skin at times.

More childish nonsense. We report the facts, plain and simple. Some people like to spout nonsense or ignorant opinions, and get defensive when people disagree with them. You're one of those people. There's plenty of things I've complained about regarding Siglent, and generally speaking, they fix stuff in a reasonable timeframe. Reporting positive experiences with a brand doesn't make a person biased if they're being honest.
Once again, you're name calling and pushing snide and unhelpful opinions that don't add anything to the conversation. Despite your attitude, I don't have anything against you. Everybody on this website likes the gear they're accustomed to, unless their experience is terrible. I'm not sure what you have against this reality. I also don't have anything against the Siglent Hater's Club on a personal level. I just wish they'd stop flooding threads with off-topic opinions that do nothing to help OPs with their actual questions.

Sorry if the back-patting designation offended you. I deliberately avoided another term which first came to mind, and used language I don't consider name-calling at all.
One could construct a nice "sociogram" of the forum by drawing connections in proportion to the amount of mutual thanks -- and I am pretty sure that it would show some very pronounced little clusters. Nothing evil about that, if those people just happen to be of the same opinion often. But if those people also happen to visit certain threads and forum areas regularly, it can feel like they are "ganging up" whenever an unwelcome opinion is voiced.
Thanks to KungfuJosh for illustrating my point.

In the last months you have been very itchy with pro-Siglent users. I understand your arguments but you have been rallying behind any newbie that comes here with anti-Siglent thoughts just because. And what a 6k posts member ought to know is that things are not only black or white. Also, if you don't like that kind of opinions then don't go to these threads or disregard those members but what is, also, not needed is this continuing bashing.

You're welcome, but if your reading comprehension improves, you might realize it doesn't mean what you think it means. In this case, you're the antagonist. You came here with unhelpful, insulting, and snide remarks that added nothing to the conversation. Yet again, you are taking a conversation off-topic because of your attitude. You being called out on that somehow makes you think you've won something. There is no competition, and you should know better.
Sorry @tv84, I liked your post, so now you're in our elite club. 🤯

Possibly true. I have spent more time than before in the Test Equipment section, in preparation of and then after buying two new scopes, and the behaviour pattern has gotten under my skin somewhat.

Not true. I have supported one recent user at times who has found a surprising number of issues with his new scope -- by narrowing down and reproducing some of the problems, and sometimes by defending him against unwarranted "everything you say is rubbish" claims. I have also criticized him for incomplete and premature "bug" reports.

But that's exactly my point. I am in no way bashing Siglent scopes; I have returned my earlier Rigol purchase and bought a Siglent instead, and am happy with that decision. I have ackowledged the very knowledgeable Siglent experts here many times. But I have also discussed some scope aspects I consider weaknesses and bugs, and criticized some responses -- some black among the white.
In contrast, I struggle to find posts from the Siglent supporters which ackwnowledge product weaknesses. Issues are too often denied flat out ("PEBKAC", "RTFM" etc.), or their significance is down-played when they get confirmed.
