If that's the case, then the question should be posed as to whether that's acceptable to begin with. It's ok because other people do it?
What? Ever issue he is having with his nvidia sli setup you guys blow off and try to make it his fault.
Nvidia can never be blamed for writting poor drivers? Oh, it's okay if it works 98% of the time! I can't believe you guys find this acceptable. If M$ operated like this no machine on earth would ever be stable.
I think you need the vacation for making this thread.

Did he post a thread that turned highly inflammatory? Yes. But that's not normally ban material unless the threads are OT or someone keeps doing it. He had a legit gripe with NVIDIA when the thread started.
He's kind of got a point.
Did he respond poorly when people disagreed with him? Yes. I've seen a *lot* worse, though, and he's not the only one in that thread who was toeing the line.
Give him a warning, not a ban. If he keeps it up, or starts actively trolling, then the mods can give him a vacation or think about a more permanent one.

This is one thread of many that he's had comments like this, however. He's notorious for flamebaiting, and for crass, insulting remarks. If it were one thread, I would agree that it's a non issue, but it's been a constant annoyance.

As a human I am glad I have been given the option to choose. I can choose to ignore someone that is just trying to get me to respond. I can choose to ignore insulting remarks. I can choose to respond to crass words with much nicer words. I have a small piece of advice for everyone: evolve.
No, ban them all. Please start a thread for every child on the forums. Maybe the mods will let you be mommy for the day.
Hopefully the mods will let me know if I get unbanned.
I guess I haven't seen as much of it. Searching through his recent posts, he seems to alternate between actually helping people and posting anti-NVIDIA rants. I've been avoiding some of the more opinionated threads.
I think he deserves a warning for his actions in that thread (mostly for the insults he was thowing around), but a motion to ban is WAY extreme IMHO. Being opinionated is not ban-worthy, and he's not being disruptive that I've seen (e.g. threadcrapping on unrelated topics, posting in the wrong forums, posting multiple threads on the same topics just to stir things up).
The link works for me, but still, that's only one link. In addition, it isn't particularly bad. Maybe a warning (he was insulting even those who were trying to calm things down), but if that warrants banning, then 80% of P&N would be banned.

I do not have the Video selected in my preferences though.
Hey if you can't handle someone pointing out major flaws in nvidia's technology then I guess you'll be voting for a ban on everone who says ATI sucks without SM 3.0 thread.

You might want to include some links to examples of piss poor behaviour for those of us who went (and I quote, with one slight modification) "Who the f*ck is this Bar81 guy?" when we read the thread. :beer:
that is exactly what i thought... followed by :and wtf did he do/say to warrant a petition dedicated entirely to him.
...so what DID he do to warrant a ban? i see nothing objectionable in his posts

Ok fellas, I will put this a plainly as I can. This has nothing to do with computer hardware.
It is about how he conducts himself in the forums. The way he speaks to others. It's not right. I repeat. This is not about computer hardware. Once more. This is not about computer hardware. Debating whether I should say it again. But I think this will get through well enough.
Cheers.
Bud?
I have no idea who this guy is, I just don't see anything wrong with his posts.
If you'd stop hate mongering maybe you'd see that too.
I'd say starting a petition to ban a member that disagrees with you qualifies as hatemongering.
Show EVIDENCE that he needs banning. You barely have even shown opinion.
It'd be one thing if you made this petition and DIDN'T post a link to it here, but you did.
Where's all these links we are supposed to have where he hurt your feelings and/or other members' feelings?
