no, i didn't ignore it. i simply had no comment on it except that i was confused as to what two things i was suppose to have compared. and how does that illustrate any point?

but i will comment now though since you seem to want me to.

i don't believe that the poster you quoted nor i called you any names nor derided you in this thread. i would agree that attacking another individual for their hardware purchasing decisions would be out of place. heck, i have put money into (undelivered) products of some of the worst performing companies currently out there so i wouldn't cast aspersions unto others in the same boat.

no, i have not searched your posting history so i have no clue what you have brought to the table previously. if i 'took the time' to go thru every posters' history i would never get anything done so that is quite unrealistic to expect.

It was in reference to my missing the nail a few posts back. Your nail and mine were on different subjects, thus we were talking apples and oranges.

Exactly, if we can communicate both successes and failures without embellishment, this sub-forum would help a lot of people.

well yes, hence the reason i made reference to you saying the quoted poster was 'missing the nail', then stated that it is you who is. but that still is not comparing anything.

the performance of few of the vendors are responsible for the genesis and their subsequent input (or lack thereof) is a large part of continued fanning of the flames of the current level of "hate" in this sub-forum. the rest, like 'hater' vs 'fanboy' stuff, is universal to virtually all online forums where there are both strong opinions and people's money at stake. realistically there is nothing moderators can do to eliminate that until it crosses into actual threats.

if one can't take salty language, sarcasm, their views challenged, and even insults from time to time then most online forums are not for them - this one included.
