As you may or may not be aware, the user Rollo and I have been butting heads for quite a while now due to his abrasive mannerism. And I know that I am not the only one having problems with him. He is actively posting flamebait in thread after thread, insulting people, their families, their financial situation and even posting pro-Nazi slogans. He seems to look down his nose at anybody who doesn't own the latest hardware and makes a special effort to single them out for his taunts.
I am tired of reading post after post of his hatred and am finally to the point of asking the Moderators to do something about it.
First we have Rollo getting into slamming not only me, but my family. To make an already offensive post even worse, he deciced to throw in a Pro-Nazi slogan. And it isn't his first time. Apparently Rollo finds the actions of Nazi Germany to be funny.
Posted by Rollo -BTW Creig nice job setting an example for your six year old!
"You see honey, when you don't like the way some expresses themself, let's say you consider their sarcasm unpleasant, make it your life's mission to make them express themself in ways you find acceptable. The Creig family has a solemn responsibility to make sure everyone thinks and acts just like us!"
LOL
Sieg Heil!
Posted by Bumrush99 -And WTF is up with his Nazi salute at the end of his post? How does that inflammatory salute add to the discussion?
and
Posted by Rollo -Sheesh get over it. What do you want me to do? Hang a red ATI flag in my rec room, start goosE stepping around it with my arm raised high, shouting "Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! Doom 3 is teh suxorz, I'm waiting for HL2!"??????
Here are a few samples of Rollo boosting his ego by slamming people for not owning video cards as fast as his:
Posted by Rollo -What are you here to tell us? What you'd do if you actually ever bought some high end parts?
Posted by Rollo -If you don't like it, maybe you should stick to writing essays on how to softmod low end parts. I can guarantee you I'll never be troubling you in those, because I wouldn't bother.[/quote]
Posted by Rollo -What are you doing in this thread anyway? Giving us the perspective of the man with the 9500? Uh huh.
Posted by Rollo -My "nappy"?! LOL, Why BFG, I always thought you were a kid in some suburb pounding away your hate speech. I see you're in New Zealand in your profile. No wonder you don't try more cards- they probably cost a month's pay where you are. It must kind of burn your ass that here in the states we can get this stuff really cheap and trade cards as we please for little money. (seeing as how dear you hold this stuff?)
Tough luck there ol buddy
Posted by Rollo -There's a big difference in coming up with $133 and $250 for some people, and people who live with their Dad's sometimes forget that.
*cough*General Grievous*cough*
And God help you if you actually own an ATI product:
Posted by Rollo -"Waah. My card can play Far Cry at 16X12 4X8X at the same speed your crappy GT plays it at 12X10 4X8X! Waaah!"
Posted by Rollo -LOL- why does it not surprise me that you somehow equate your slow as frozen molasses 9800XT to somehow be on par with cards that totally own it like 6800GTs?
Earth to Apoppin:
Your card is like something a homeless guy would have compared to a 6800GT.
No 20% vs 30% to argue about here, Poppinfresh- the 6800GT is TWICE as fast as your caveman 9800.
Too bad, so sad. The only guys who consider the 9800XT "fast" these days are sleeping on heat exhaust grates and dining in soup kitchens.
Posted by Creig - Why the cheerleading? It's a good card, decent price, nice set of features, is (somewhat) available and is the card of choice to play the latest game with (Doom III). It's only logical that it would be praised by the masses.
Will the tide shift to the X800 series when HL2 is released? Probably. We'll see when (if) Valve ever gets it out the door.
Nvidia had the spotlight all the way from the TNT series to the GF4 line. Then ATI stole the crown with the 9500 to 9800 lineup and now the two are battling for supremacy between the 6800/X800.
Remember, competition is a good thing.

So wait a minute- you're saying nVidia used to be on top, then ATI, now they're evenly matched? You must be a professor or something Creig- I couldn't have figured that out! LOL

Why don't you cut those less BRILLIANT than you are some slack buddy?
He keeps saying that it's a free country and that he can spend his money any way he wants:
Posted by Rollo -I don't have to "defend" my purchases. Free country, my money, you don't like it, too bad. LOL
But when somebody is looking for advice on which is the fastest 3DMark03 card available it suddenly becomes:
Posted by Rollo -Punisher, 425 Bungholio marks don't lie......you don't want technical obsolescence to emasculate his surging electronic man-box, do you?!
Why the He!! would he care about value, or being able to actually notice a difference in his gaming experience?!
In the world of Futuremark, there can be only one.....
And here are a few more of Rollo's endearing moments:
Posted by Rollo -Ronnn said I'm a troll. I can never come back here, as Ronnn is the voice of the board.
Please oh please Ronnn. I won't troll anymore! I'll pimp the Humpus tweaks and their pathetic 2fps increases! I'll say "DX9b is good enough!" I'll say "Who needs that UltraShadow or video encoding!" I'll say "who needs linux?"
For the love of God Ronnn, I have a family. Don't say I'm a troll.
Posted by Rollo -My four year old said to me just tonite,"Dad, why doesn't Apoppin' have nearly as good of a video card as I do? Should I take it easy on him if I meet up with him online?" So I guess he likes it fine.
Posted by Rollo -Amoppin':
Just because you don't really have anything to contribute about your experiences with modern video cards*, is that any reason to flame those of us who do?
Of course, that won't matter to you, will it Amoppin'? As the r500won't cost $200 for years, you won't really have any idea what they're like, will you?
That's the difference between you and me:If the r500 "dominates" I'll buy one and enjoy it. You'll buy an X800Pro for $200, and post a bunch about how it's "good enough".
Pretty sad.
Posted by Rollo -Oh darn. CompDDD and Ronnn are here to whine "Rollo is...is...a big dumbhead!". All we need is for the third member of their "He Man Rollo Hating Club", FSStrike to join in with a "I agree with those two guys, it must be true!".
LOL.
BTW CompDDD, I just spent ten minutes reviewing your "non troll" posts on AT- LOL!
"Waaah- My fan is loud!"
"Waah- How do I OC?!?!"
"Waah-how do I underclock?"
"Waah- my floppie drive doesn't work?"
"Waah- my OCd video card won't work on my motherboard"
"Waah how fast can I run my RAM"
"Waaah do I need to reformat"
You don't really see me posting stupid questions about how to make my computer work right, do you?
I'd rather be a troll than a doofus.
Posted by Rollo -You should feel happy you have a card that is much better than a 9800Pro, which is exactly what you paid for.
Instead you're whining about not getting something for nothing, which is pretty pointless. Go figure.
And it's not just me who has noticed Rollo's total lack of civil behavior:
Posted by Jiffylube1024 - It isn't a spitting contest as you seem to view it ("your big contributions") but just your general attitude towards everything in general (particularly regarding ATI, which seems to be quite the hot button with you).
Posted by reallyscrued- rollo, wtf. no one has mentioned biasness. what i noticed rite now is that YOU brought this up. do u go around looking for trouble? i dont want u to turn around my thread. no one is bashing no one and its gonna stay that way. if u just thought of it, keep it to urself. i think ur ASKING for them to join in and flame u. if my name was on that list, id come and tell u to stfu and keep this on topic, not biasness, but the sucess rate of 6800NU -> 16 pipes.
Here's an idea....dont TALK! dont give a hint that ur biased toward anyone! stay neutral, is that so hard? then maybe people wont have these ideas against u. i dont know where those biased-rollo ideas came from becuz i just joined this forum about a month ago, but they must have originated from something u said. and u retailiate even before anyone took a swing at u. im sorry but i must say that u are not as wise as u must think.
Posted by fsstrike - Rollo used to call me a "noob" for owning a GeForce3 and a p4 1.5. He also said I would never be able to afford a new computer anytime soon. No matter what you do, you can never win with rollo.
Posted by Jiffylube1024 - Rollo, this childish nonsense has to stop. I couldn't care less what you call me, but seeing you turn to everyone else who puts up valid points against pre-recorded rhetoric you've been posting endlessly on these boards and insult them based on their nationality, their post count or their hobbies is ridiculous.
You are a 3000 post member, like me, on an internet board for geeks who talk about computer hardware. When your stock of BS comments starts to mount and the smell gets unbearable, you start lashing out with absurd comments like telling BFG to get a life. How about you? You're on a heaven-sent quest to prove that the 5800 series "wasn't that bad" and say that the R3x0 series was never worthwhile because it's shader performance isn't good enough for shader intensive games. Which side of the issue would you like to take today?
As you said - it's a free country (yes, even in Canada, Europe or New Zealand, for example) and we can debate hardware as much as we want. If you post BS, then we can comment on this as much as we'd like.
And again:
Posted by joecool - folks, just got my new pny 6800 gt card, sadly haven't been able to play yet (pc acting flaky recently, time for a new os install), but one thing i've already noticed is how bloodly loud the fan is. i had a zalman fanless cooler on my ati 9800 and loved it - any alternative cooling solutions for the 6800gt out yet?
Posted by Rollo - What a trivial, pointless thread.
Dude, if the fan on a 6800GT seems "loud" and "annoying" to you, I hope you live in a bubble at the bottom of the ocean. The 6800GT is what's known as "quiet" in the modern world. If you don't like the trade off of that tiny bit of noise I say "why do you have a 6800 GT anyway?".
Must not be for gaming- every game I've ever heard is a cacaphonous racket compared to a 6800s fan?
I think you posted this because you wanted to argue about your quiet case you obviously put some though into.
I wish you'd buy my 5800Ultra- you'd know what "loud" is then.
Posted by KevinH - Rollo - Seriously, I respect your opinion on a lot of things. In fact, some of your insight along with many others is what will lead me to go for the 6800 line. That said...will you back off this thread? The OP wants to quiet down his system. If you can help with that than do so. If not, then who cares how tolerant you are of loud noise. How does that help him? This isn't about YOU and YOU'RE preferences so please don't hijack this.
Posted by Apoppin - And Doom iii is FINISHED . . . and sold . . . what a "waste" of a game engine.
Posted by Rollo - So says the man who will go to his grave never having done anything 1/9999999999999999999999999th as recognized, successful, or brilliant.
Posted by Rollo - Poor Amoppin'
Wasn't it you that told us you were so bored with Doom3 you weren't even really playing it? That you just save,run into a room, see where the monsters are so you can reload and kill them? Don't think that makes you a "good" player.
You and Glorygunk make a good pair though: a guy without ethics and a guy without intelligence.
When asked to lay off, Rollo had this to say:
Posted by Rollo -So I guess we've established I'm not going to give Ghandi or Jesus a run for the "Turned the other cheek" award. Oh well.
Obviously he is not at all bothered that other people find his posts offensive. And these quotes were only a small sample! He's crossed over the line so many times I don't think anybody can keep count. This kind of behavior would be unacceptable in Off Topic, much less the Video forums.
He has already earned himself a lifetime ban from the SharkyExtreme Forums for his abusive attitude. I sincerely hope the AnandTech Moderators will 2nd the motion.
I am tired of reading post after post of his hatred and am finally to the point of asking the Moderators to do something about it.

in the future instead of the usual flame routine. I am willing to give them a guided tour of P&N if neccessary. :beer:
