It exists just fine for me.

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.
Error Code 144 - Lack of Permissions
What browser? Link works fine in the newest FF for me. It isn't the browser, it is just you :D

IE 6.0

I do not have the Video selected in my preferences though.

thats your problem

Whatever. Since you decided to appoint yourself as his legal representation, I will have to.

quote:
btw, for the peanut gallery that needs to deride me rather than actually address the topic at hand, notice how ATI is NOT mentined in this thread, that's because I'm addressing only nvidia and it's crapfilled record which anyone with half an ounce of logical thought cannot deny. The bottom line is that for WS LCD users SLI DOESN'T WORK and sadly, that's *exactly* the market who wants SLI. And it's a further joke that nvidia is "aware of the issue" and yet needs at least one more month, on top of the three months that have already passed, to fix the issue, *if they ever* fix the issue (I wouldn't assume they will as they *still* haven't fixed their IDE or nForce4 SATA drivers.) Frankly, It's YOUR fault nvidia is such crap as you continue to accept such behavior from the company and actually go even further by defending the crap they put on the market. Did anyone also happen to notice the Ge CPU usage numbers on the tech-report article for nvidia, unacceptable and yet you guys act like it's just fantastic (AGAIN, nvidia is "aware of the issue" - notice a pattern here - and yet AGAIN hasn't fixed squat.) WTF is wrong with you people???



quote:
Well if you can't figure out what your issues are, I don't have the time. Anyway, nobody cares what you think unless it has to do with the topic.



quote:
Either way, my point remains. I just can't understand why people continue to praise nvidia for SLI and nForce when they both have huge issues associated with them. It's ridiculous to see so many people not only pretend that the issues don't exist but resort to cheap personal attacks instead of taking nvidia to task for their subpar products.



quote:
Thanks for that. You really added to this thread. WTF is wrong with you people, this is not a defend ATI thread, it's a call out the nvidia crap thread ATI has it's own share of iissues. You guys really need an education particularly in logic.



quote:
One has to wonder why you are so adamant about everyone forgetting about nvidia. Is it because you're an nvidia apologist or do you just like subpar products at high prices? Widescreen IS NOT new, it's been around for a LONG time.



quote:
So apparently calling a company out for subpar products is now trolling??? okaaaaaaaaaaaay

And retards, once again this isn't ATI versus nvidia which apparently none of you intellectual geniuses is able to understand. ATI has nothing to do with the issues at hand here and I never brought them up so I have no idea why YOU are all trolling the whole ATI v nvidia thing.



quote:
No, YOU don't get it and your attempts to show your "intelligence" are pathetic.



quote:
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, the peanut gallery chimes in with another "witty" and useful remark.



quote:
You get an A in stupidity. Your attempts at logic make a drunk moose look intelligent. Actually, ATI is what it is today because of others doing what I'm doing here which is calling a company out for subpar products, not to simply criticize them, but, rather, to make them change the way they do business and deliver products that work as advertised. You really need a logic class as well as several years in reading comprehension.

And just out of curiousity, is there a particular reason all of you nvidia apologists don't want nvidia to deliver products that work as advertised? If anything, it should be the nvidia faithful who should be in tow in this thread.



quote:
First off, it's couldn't care less, my grammatical and logical genius. Second, that's EXACTLY the problem. Everyone, and not just me, should be *demanding* better. You want to wait for solutions like a good little puppy dog, that's great and all except errrr, companies don't always fix problems "one way or another" It's your ilk that allows nvidia to have crap IDE drivers for nForce since the beginning and get away with it. IF everyone is like you then you're pretty much asking the companies to bend you over and sadly, you're too ignorant to see it.


This guy has all good points, that is not the issue. Like I said, it's not about the hardware jargon. It's the A-hole way in which he speaks to people in here. No manners, always provoking others leading into heated battles. If you cannot see what we mean here, than this is where we part ways.

I don't really see that much wrong with anything he said except calling people retards.
Still not a bannable offense and I think you know it, or you wouldn't even need a petition, he'd be banned already.

So you think this behavior might be considered acceptable to most people these days?
As for the retard remark, I have a 12 year old neice who is Autistic and profoundly deaf. I did not mention this because of course Bar81 said this and could not have possibly known. Or should I say, cared, if anyone would be offended. If you can't hear the hatred of others in this forum by the tone of his posts, I just hope you and others aren't as deaf as my neice. This forum needs some housecleaning, why not start with the worst kind?
You might think it a cold thing to ask for a ban of another fellow member. But take my word for it, Bar81 does not think of people as fellow members. He thinks of us as "beneathe" him and it shows in his constant inflammatory remarks. All I know is, I wan't him gone as do others.

It's cool if people don't see eye to eye with me in here. I expected this. No biggie.

While I simpathize with your situation and I wholeheartedly wish the best for your niece, I have a brother that is blind. Am I supposed to vote to ban anyone who calls someone else blind for not seeing things their way?

Anyway, I'm going to leave you be, stop arguing with you, and leave you to continue your petitioning. I see your massive 3 signatures and know I'm wasting my breath.

My best to you and your brother as well, thanks. And, you didn't waste your breathe. It's not like I was not "hearing" you. I will gradually get more links on here for everyone to peruse. I know 3 sigs is not a lot, but the night is young and hope springs eternal.

Night.

The fact that you are still arguing about banning someone because they do not see it your way is the real issue. This is not your ball to take home and that seems to annoy you. Quit acting like you are in 8th grade and you won't get the obvious lack of sympathy you have here. Don't be so annoying that the mean mod decides that the whining has gone on long enough. Mods do lurk.

i have been the subject of the poster in questions's "attacks" - when i tried to help him - in fact :p
(find THAT thread) . . . anyway, i really don't read his posts [much, anymore] and tend not to post in them (if i can help it).

Some people enjoy attention - even if it is negative - i try not to give those people any satisfaction
[by IGNORING them] ;)

i have also found - that "true trolls" tend to reveal themselves [over time] to everyone . . . . if someone actually turns out to be a "troll". i trust the mods will eventually deal with it [after all they have to endure the same immature people since they generally are active posters].

I'm still curious why you think this is about this guy not seeing something my way?
I don't know how many times I can say it. It's like you all don't listen, or read the posts I'm typing. In one of the posts, I repeated myself three times in a row for emphasis that this was not about a stupid hardware war. I even said the guy has points!!! Why is this so hard to grasp? Doesn't matter. I know what its about, and anyone who knows Bar81 knows what this is about. That's enough for me. Whatever the mods decide is law. If they want it locked, it will be locked. If they want to see where it actually goes, so much the better. And would everyone please stop stating what they think the "real" issue is.. I have already stated what the real issue is. No hidden agenda. Could care less.

Truth is, probably nobody else would ever dare have the nuts to try something like this.
I'll stand by what I type. You might "think" you know the real deal. Those that know him, do.

How much less?

About the hardware Olds. The hardware. Could care less about the hardware and how some people think this is all about Bar not seeing things my way. It's not. It's about how a forum member treats other members. Manners. Insults. Rudeness. etc etc...
Honest dude.

This is the only board I belong to. I see where your coming from, however, the mods are human to. I realize that a single member can't do much. But if there's a slim chance that many can, it has to be tried. I do not wish to provoke the mods, but only would like them to give this a chance.

You are a poet and didn't even knowit.... :)

i can answer for him.

you didn't do your research properly . . . you should have been prepared from the beginning with [many] hard quotes illustrating this guys rudeness

[i would have had someone PM him to this thread to get his side and perhaps check his atitude] ;)

and you STILL haven't posted the "best " examples of rudeness . . . i could find the threads for you but i not the one asking for a ban ;)

(you might still have time before this gets locked)


EDIT: Much better!
(although i look pretty bad in my replies to him when i lost my temper :eek: )

And he has this "petition" in his sig, blaming the OP along with rollo & ronin :p
[wrongly]


And his latest posts are UNBELIEVABLY helpful and polite ;)
:roll:

:D

Added some more threads. Including the one where appopin tried to help him but just got bashed for the effort.

I can't help the threads being sooooo long, but they do tend to go on and on.
And please don't just read the first few pages where the posts are usually benign.
This is no joke. Bar81 knows this thread is here as you can see a link to it in his sig as a mocking gesture. And yes, even there are insults to Ronin, Rollo and myself.

I will sift through some more. Getting a bit tired. Gnight all.

And then I will let this drop tomorrow. I just wanted the mods to possibly pay a bit of attention to Bar81's "situation". I am normally not one to complain about things. It took a lot for me to do this.

Thank you folks for all your input and advice. And thank you mods for not locking this thread before I was able to sift through the ocean of threads and link to them.

Now really, Have a good night.

Heehe, no, Bar does not deserve a Ban. Reading the OPs links, it can be seen that Bar will rant about something, then a group comes in and begins personally attacking Bar, often completely ignoring his rant.

This very thread shows that the OP acts in a very similar way to wjhat he is accusing Bar of. Ban Bar, then Ban Key as well.

I officially give a :thumbsdown: to this petition. A discerning mod will probably lock this thread and nothing will happen. It's very clear bar did nothing wrong. You can't ban someone for having a differing view than yours. And he is absolutely right, SLI does suck :p
