See, the difference is I'm not crying and whining to moderators to get BitSyncom out of here. I certainly welcome him trolling in our thread. If I were to come over to the Avalon thread and start asking questions, he would bitch and moan and complain to the moderators. I'm just pointing out the hypocritical nature of Avalon, not saying I want him to leave by any means.
No comment, quoted for historical purpose.
Perhaps the moderator who was so harried can weigh in on the nature and magnitude of the harassment they received from the Avalon team. Also it would be interesting to know which mod coordinates with BFL such that Inaba can come up with such detailed information.
I will say that it looked unsightly when BFL spammed the Avalon thread, and also looked somewhat discretionary (e.g., the excuse that they were tamping down lies didn't seem to fly.) By the same token, it actually does not look that great going the other direction. The same argument about 'free time' in what one would expect to be fairly busy days down at the shop applies.
That said, I find it wildly entertaining when one vendor harasses another, and also relatively informative since the various ASIC [would-be] vendors probably have more insight into the field (that is, producing/scamming) that the average Joe here.
