Aside from the gripe that it's not a "pre-release"

Except that it is a pre-release. It says it right there in the title of this article.

Please post words, guys. Not just pictures. 

Well, I did have words in my post (granted, it was just a few).  But, since you asked, here's my view on the issue.

Both sides have presented (mostly) good arguments for how they feel. However, at this point pretty much everything that can be said has been, several times over by several people. I haven't seen anyone really change their stance on the issue based on any of those arguments, so it's all become an entertaining side show where the same arguments just go round and round.  

I was attempting to draw attention to that fact, while providing a bit of levity to the situation, hopefully promoting that everyone realize that we're all talking about a much anticipated update to a game that we all love.

For those interested, the "offending" post:

After almost a week of this, this is all I can think of when I read this thread:

Glad I bought it on both platforms  - Steam and SQUAD Shop. But can't find the option @Steam to opt-in. 

It offers only "none" or "previous stable release"

It's... Not... Ready.... Yet. As has been said several times in the comments and in the OP, the pre release will happen after experimentals, which haven't even started yet (to my knowledge).

One time I was finishing a long hike on a hot day with two friends, Bob and Bill. For the last part of the hike, I was telling them about this nice beer I had in the fridge and we were all pretty excited about it. I was just unlocking the front door when I mentioned that I only had one beer and it was going to Bob. Bill was kind of upset, for some reason. 

I told Bill he was being selfish and immature, but somehow he still didn't get the point, even after I said I'd definitely let both of them have a beer next week.

Even after he admitted that it would be better for one person to have a beer than for nobody to have one, he still felt hard done by, and said it might have been better to not offer the beer to anyone. 

Except that in this case, the "beer" that Bob is getting isn't cold, has been open for a while and is thus flat, and has bugs in it. Does Bill really want that beer? 

For the record, I have KSP on Steam and WILL NOT be opting in to the pre release, simply because I don't have the time available nor the knowledge to be of great help for the stated purpose, which is hunting bugs so that when Bill does get his beer, it's flavorful, cold, and bug-free.
