posts about a magenta cast in the highlights in images of the Olympus
E-510, and the KOOKS who guard the forum attack the guy, some with
logically, but some are off the charts stupid. One poster refutes the
magenta cast post by posting pictures of his own, but at least FIVE of
the images SHOW a magenta cast!!! Unbelievable! Purple rocks, purple
roads!!!

Look to the image posts from Ben Herrmann about halfway down the
page.

How does a selection of photos that were shot raw and converted with a non-oem raw converter that probably doesn't correctly read w/b metadata in the raw file show anything at all? The poster that you refer to probably has a poorly calibrated monitor.

DPReview forums are full of posts like that. Mainly there are posts about "sharpness" of lenses and noise at high iso, where tiny images are posted, and nothing can be seen.

Because the forum is moderated, and because the threads are linear making it harder for an idiot poster to be flamed in a way that would happen on usenet, idiots proliferate.

It's also a favourite place for shills to hang out.
