As far as my "limited reasoning" goes, I have a BA/BS from a Big 10 college and a 137 IQ. This puts me among the people the people who have proven they can be trained and have some level of reasoning. Statistically speaking, it puts me in the top 25% of people in this country in terms of my level of education
I see then, oh, well that settles it. 137 IQ, and a undergrad degree. gosh, I?m just glad you didn?t really expose me as a simpleton, and really intellectually bully me around. I?ll consider myself fortunate, especially since I only have 6 posts and all.
Interestingly though, I have heard those with high IQ?s never have to brag about it, and don?t go around telling people how high their IQ is. Some might even say those who are insecure about their intellectual faculties would be exactly the sort who would tend seek out and to tell others their IQ level and relative superiority to the rest of the population.( A side note.. you seem to have a similar attitude at a micro level when it comes to members on this board. You see yourself as this superior wise old sage and old timer here, this identity is most frequently expressed as some industry insider?..Yet?LOL, mostly you spend your time trying to prove that this is so?LOL> see below, and about 10 other posts in this thread)
Trivialize my contributions to the board all you like, but answer me this Who has made more contribution to the board, the guy who spends some of his free time providing it with info that's not readily available when he can, or the guy who's showed up for 6 posts to whine about it like an egg sucking dog?
LOL, there you go again. I never said I was any significant contributer to the board, in fact , just the opposite, I said I could care less. You see most people are here to discuss hardware, not to prove their own self importance, or contributions..lol..or spout off about their industry connections. What I did claim though, was that YOU over and over and over again, aggrandized and talked up your contributions..LOL> In fact, I?ve said as much in every post?and laughably, you continue to prove it!! Here you go again, bringing up your self importance here and great contributions and wonderful insider information. Maybe you should just make a sig and put something down there?maybe something like ?I have a friend at Nvidia and he gives me secret information? remember, I was the first to post the Far Cry 3.0 benches and I had a 6800 sooner than just about anyone else managed too.? This would at least save you some time, because you see, you have managed to bring it up in just about every post. LOL Or maybe you could just have something like ?I am a very important contributer to the Anantech forums? yeah that might be good too. That would save you the trouble of trying to prove it in every post. Maybe you could even bribe one of the mods, to give you that sig tag??extra special member? or whatever it is. You seem to desperately want it from the campaign of self importance that you wage.
"Anything else in Rollo's sad little world, he took as an insult, and basically told everyone to shutup"
So I shouldn't have taken it as an insult when you called me a tool and ranted about my crime of posting what I know about nVidia for paragraphs? Who made you the AT thought police?
First off, my comments about you taking as an insult? referred to early in this discussion when you belittled a number of members, anyone who was upset at not getting what they had been promised in the 6800s. And you had the nerve to tell these people that they ought not to be speculating?.and it was frankly absurd and hypocritical, because all the while you were speculating in one way or the other.
As for whether you should have taken offense to me calling you a tool, well yes you should have because that?s exactly what I meant it as. I meant it as an insult. It was in response to your attacking others and name calling of others. So don?t act all high and mighty. Oh wait, what am I saying?.thats just about all you do here. Also, you keep fabricating this garbage and make believe that I take offense to you posting opinions or info from Nvidia. That?s completely untrue. I don?t take exception to any of it, and I actually consider what you say?I just don?t think what comes out of your mouth from your ?insider friend? who has a vested interest in making money for Nvidia is the Gospel Truth. Nor do I think that some snipit of supposed info is God?s gift to the forum from you Rollo. You see, You?re the only one who seems to feel that way. And if people even so much as question it, or have a differing opinion negative towards nvidia?you lash out. Again, this whole thing started by Rollo when he said in essence.. ?How DARE YOU GUYS SPECULATE AND QUESTION MY INFO>? OR TAKE A DIFFERENT POSITION FROM ME(which is, by the way,essentially the talking points at Nvidia?s PR dept LOL.) that is how all this started. As I said, Your behavior has been a case study for a Fanboy, and someone who thinks he?s much more important than others. Anyone know anybody like that? There?s a lot of that goin around these days.
BTW, do I think I?m important, or do I think highly of myself? In some instances, Yes. For example, I think highly enough of myself to put a clown like you, Rollo, back in your place. Earlier, You said something about me being petty or ?glad I got that off my chest.? Well, so am I. It?s been immensely satisfying dressing you down. Sometimes even the ?extra important members? (like you Rollo) need to get a good thrashing. Its been fun. BTW, I know you?ve read every word of this. Putting someone on the ignore list is often the last escape for someone who has taken a beating.(I bet you?ve taken quite a few too)
BTW, about your friend at Nvidia, how did he let you in? I thought one had to have at least a 140 IQ to be friends with someone at Nvidia? Oh well, I guess you got lucky. Thanks for sharing him with everyone. You?re a real saint.
