In the end, I would like to see these forums turn back into a more thoughtful place. 🙂
Nice idea, but not a great start with that post there.. Seeing as you spent most of it insulting someone based on their employ(or volunteer, whatever, I don't care what he does to get his kit. Unless he eats babies. Which is doubtful.) and video card preference.
😕 Are you above your desire for a 'more thoughtful place' then?
Am I above my desire for a "more thoughtful place"? What does that mean? I am pretty good at English and you are stumping me.
Anyway I will try and answer your broken question...
Rollo is a marketing representive. It seems that that the only people supportiing him are either diehard fans of his brand, and obviously too stupid to see the big picture, or idiots who fall for his "
witch hunt" "beta tester" nonsense. He gave up on the "beta tester" thing but is still hard working the "
witch hunt" thing.
🙂
Most people are smart enough to feel indignant when they are lied to.
People like Rollo lie to themselves and think they are speaking the truth. He still tries to equate free with paying for hardware so obviously, his idea of reality is miles off the chart. Uhh, but I bought a motherboard so I almost paid for a videocard... umm, no little Rollo, that's not how most people pay for videocards. *slap*
OK, I give up and will let him press his lies for a few more hours to those, and it seems to be only like 3 guys, Wreckage, keyswhatever, Ronin and whoever else that actually believe him.
Most aren't buying it.
🙂
Probably just me not wording it right.
What I meant was. You should, regardless of how much you disagree, respect someone elses method of obtaining things. Crap thieves get caught, for example. Good theieves get away with it, that demands some respect. Working ones way into a position where free, or cheaper graphics cards areavailable requires some respect, too. Personally, I'd not say no to being in a similar position, with either ATi or nVidia, free/cheap cards are free/cheap cards, after all.
As for the only people supporting him thing. I don't know if you'd class me as supporting him, if you do you're kinda out on the generalisations of who supports him. Seeing as I'm an ATi user, I don't often believe what he posts enough to even google and do a bit more looking. Most of the time, I don't give two shades o' crap what Rollo posts.
However. Threads like this, IE, the flaming bits, are really quite unnessecary (I can't ever spell that goddamn word). We know who they are, that's enough for most sensible people to take what they say with a pinch of salt, I know I did already anyway.
Hell, Rollo even has it in his sig, so even if you were to join the forums in two or three months, it'd be readily available for you to see.
You lay claim to people being 'too stupid to see the whole picture' but.. Eh. It's no different to the monstrosities that are billboards on motorways, adverts on TV, adverts on notice boards. It's all going to focus on the best bits, and it's certainly not going to tell you the bad bits. As such, taking it aall with a pinch of salt and just.. Going with the flow is surely a much better option that.. Say, getting all pissed off about it and just flaming the crap out of the users.
Judging by how long you've been on the forums I'd say it's safe to assume you know that somethings can just be ignored. I mean. It's not hard to sit at your desk and say "I don't believe that." make a post demonstrating some downsides, and not jumping on the ol' flaming wagon. If the other user starts flaming first, then surely at least half the users of AT have to be mature enough to just ignore it and move on?
