I don't believe anyone is making accusations towards the OP. We're simply giving advice on the best way, we believe, to acclimate new fish if there truly is a dramatic difference in the water chemistry.
The OP's question was what are hardy fish that can adapt to soft water, our personal advice is that virtually all fish can adapt if acclimated properly...then there was a discussion on what the best process to acclimate is.
The point regarding water changes is a very valid one though, and a point we did fail to mention.
I didn't say you were being accusatory, I was just pointing out that post #6 - #17 are talking about drip acclimation. The direction the thread went implies that the OP's issue is their acclimation technique.
That's all fine and well, but it's jumping the gun a little, perhaps a sticky thread on drip acclimation is a good idea, so you can just link it rather than have a big discussion in the subject in a help thread. It's one thing if the OP is asking about it, but otherwise it just clutters the thread.
I don't really disagree with your statements, just don't think they are pertinent for the conversation.
