What BS we try and tell ourselves so we feel ok about trashing a fellow human being just because they don't express an opinion that parrot's our own. :roll:
Personally I would argue that when a person just repeats a marketing point regardless of arguments made against it and when I know exactly what someone will write as a response simply based on the assertion that the person will be unwilling or unable to ever accept a point that company X's products are not always the best.
Then I would argue that we are no longer dealing with an opinion, and I will treat it as such.
When I know going in to a debate that no matter how much time and research I put into making my point I will be unable to to convince a person that another point of view can be better, and I know the person will post multiple times as a reply to everyone in the thread who makes a contradicting point.
Then yes, I will judge that person based on those actions.
I do have anything against anyone for their opinions, but there is a difference between arguing and opinion and sounding like a broken record, being unable to see other peoples point of view and making every debate one big circle of bad logic that never gets past square 1.
I judge people on their actions, not opinions.
If you firmly believe in what you just posted above, then I have to question why you'd then bother to "battle" with someone whom you have already concluded is beneath you. Fine, pass judgement, that is a passive activity on your part.
Choosing to then make a post in which you communicate that judgement is where you begin to go out of your way to assassinate a person's character. This is also the point where you hazard others passing judgement on you as well, based on your actions, not your opinions.
For your sake, I hope you don't end up encountering anyone you care for that happens to have a mental sickness or disorder...your post, absolute lack of compassion for humans who might just need some. To pass judgement on people, particularly judgement that is tinged with such disdain, as a position of superiority, ugh.
I've met many people, IRL, who were quite functional and yet required compassion and understanding at times. I suppose I could have taken those opportunities to demonize them, castigated them as shills or what not.
I'm impressed with the AT video forums, had no idea we were such the nexus of pure and noble souls who come here to throw stones while flaunting themselves as being without sin.
I am humbled to be in your presence. Might I suggest using that big rock over there to your left, yeah that 20-pounder, that'll be sure to really crack his skull wide open. Now if just a few of your equally-openminded and self-righteous buddies could just grab his arms and hold him down so he doesn't move, now some real justice can be affected...:roll:

They sad part is that on many occasions it's not their opinion. They are parroting NV PR.
That's annoying. That's the reason people are upset.
Edit: I replied before I read the ^ post. QFT +1
You gonna hold the left arm or the right one? Remember it is all in the name of vanquishing evil, its not treating a fellow human inhumanely, its just bludgeoning a marketing shill and we all know they have no souls anyways.
Remember folks, judge yourselves by your actions, not just by your opinions.
