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?
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*.
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.
