You seem to think the burden of proof is on us. It isn't. It is on you. I am not trying to sell 28nm ASIC dreams for $5K a pop.
You seem to think we have no history, that every post is starting fresh. I gave BFL (and by extension you) 6 months of being late and tossing around insults on these forums before I stopped giving them the benefit of the doubt. The fake shipping of the April 1st unit to dodge a bet was the last straw.

Burden of what proof? Do you even know what that term means? The fact that you're slinging it around here seems to indicate you're using it as a buzzword. What on earth are you possibly referring to?

You have to convince customers to buy your product. You must convince them that you will deliver on your promises. You are the one who has something to prove. I can just sit here. I don't have to keep customers from filing lawsuits against me. Thus, it is your burden, not mine.
Also, wikipedia you nitwit. The philosophical burden of proof or onus (probandi) is the obligation on a party in an epistemic dispute to provide sufficient warrant for their position.

This place would be much nicer place to talk about Bitcoin if BFL refunded people's money who asked for it, and if BFL shipped people their merchandise like they promised they would, and if the BFL rep would stop calling people names and instead live up to his responsibilities. This place would be much nicer if BFL actually had answers for questions, instead of insults.

Apparently you don't understand the problem, which is, in itself, the problem (or one of them, anyway). People are tired of seeing the same crap posted by you and others, over and over. Most of it's irrational, fictional or exaggerated. A small percentage of it is legitimate, which is fine, but repeating it over and over, regardless of it's legitimacy is annoying to basically everyone but you. If you stopped posting today, and never posted again, the only thing that would happen is the forum quality would improve. That's what I'm saying, you bring nothing of value to the forum with your mind numbing postings repeating the same things over and over. There's no new discourse when you are around, anything new that starts to brew in a thread, you post in, and it quickly degenerates. Do you seriously deny this? Threads I don't even participate in suffer from this, so it's not *me* that's wrecking the threads, it's *you*.

Perhaps if BFL clears their backlog, there would be far fewer angry customers who come here looking for answers. There wouldn't be someone new every day saying "BFL won't refund my money" then I wouldn't have to post the PSA for how to get refunds from BFL. BFL keeps failing to deliver, the anger gets worse. You have the nerve to blame the people you are failing for seeking answers here? Of course you do. You are unprofessional and seem to take delight in frustrating your customer base.

Avalon is having similar problems delivering (not a year late yet), but you don't see the forum overrun with Avalon hate threads because Yifu doesn't show up here day after day and laugh at his customers and call them assholes and douchebags.

I don't laugh at the customers or call them assholes or douchebags unless they start out by being an asshole or douchebag. Once again (how many times do I have to point this out until you get it through your head?) - if you start out with respect, you get respect in return. If you start out as an asshole, well you get what you deserve. Stop being an asshole is the solution.

That is what your customers are giving you. Most of your posts here are of you being an asshole to somebody, and now you are getting it back 100x. Karma.
Also, you seem to think it is funny for the representative of a company to insult customers and ignore questions. You claim it is in BFL's best interests to annoy the "monumental assholes of bitcointalk". You caused this problem, and if you did your job, the problem would go away.

New angry BFL customers arrive here every day. Asking the old ones to shutup and bite the pillow isn't going to solve anything for you. It will just buy you some time.
