It's ok though if I'm called stupid, since that was from someone who likes the ipod, yes? ;) Come off it kiddo, I'm glad you like your parents enough to defend the product they bought you for birthday/christmas, but you don't have to defend it to the death.

why is gurck not banned? the "reasons" he supplied earlier for the ipod sucking pretty much proved that he had no idea what he was talking about. and btw, if you had any sense of humor at all you would find my "G4M1NG R1G" funny, but you are a flamethrower.

Sure, and you feel confortable making assumptions about everyone who doesn't hate the ipod with a pasion? Im glad you're so confident as to pin point the exact reason why so many defend the ipod. Ironic no that your mom gave you an ipod?

Where am I making assumptions about people who don't hate the ipod? Please either quote me doing this or rescind your statement with an apology. I'm making (likely correct) assumptions about people who start with ad homs on internet forums or are otherwise uncontstructively insulting when lacking a real argument. Actually this does highly correllate with ipod users, I'll leave the inference up to you though ;)

Gruck, just look in this thread. upsciLLion even agreed that this thread reaked of ad hominem. Then after you go into your usual speal, he politely asks you to stop...then you try to belittle him and make your assumptions.

Since reading and logic don't seem to be your strong suits (don't worry, as you get older these things will come more naturally if you let them)

You feel the need to insult me and try to belittle me becuase of? I asked you a few questions, a bit insecure no?

1) I could buy one no problem if I wanted to, on top of supporting myself.
Im sure you could, I don't think anyone is doubting that. You'd think after getting one from your mom you might defend it a little? I know you don't have to defend it to the death..quoting yourself.

Big difference between that and "OMG LOL MOMMY PLZ I NED TEH IPOD BCUZ MY FRENDZ @ SK00L WIL THYNK I R B KEWL!!11!!11"

I agree, but 98% of ipod proponents don't talk like that. Most of the ones that do I encourage your battering on them, but most don't...yet those assumptions keep coming up. Hmm.

2) As I stated in another post, I decided against it. It's just too much of a pos.

As I stated before, I agree... the ipod isn't the best choice for a portable audio player. This gives you the green light to attack everyone that owns one b/c?

Why would I be banned? And how do I have no idea what I'm talking about? On the contrary, I've actually given reasons why it's not a good player, while you've done nothing but insult me and be an ass in general. This doesn't speak well about your age or IQ. And it's not humor, it's AOLese. U noez wut i meen, g4m0r? :roll:

1) It's "spiel"
2) There was nothing polite about the request
3) Since flxnimprtmscl began with ad homs, if anyone should be asked to stop, it's him. But upscil has a company's honor to defend, so that can't be ;)

You'd think after getting one from your mom you might defend it a little?
... If you can't be bothered reading my post before replying, I can't be bothered assuming your IQ is above that of a spoiled grapefruit. It's one thing if you missed the other thread where it came up and I mentioned I declined, but I just mentioned it here!! Jesus... At any rate, a pos is a pos. A friend has a 3g and I'm plenty familiar with them already.

This gives you the green light to attack everyone that owns [an ipod] b/c?
Talk about assumptions... Instead of apologizing for putting words in my mouth in your last reply, you just go and do it again? eff you, seriously. If you have to lie about what people say to have an argument, it might be best to shut your trap in the first place. Actually, I think it's best you do so regardless :roll:

That all ya got? Kind of interesting how you criticize the heck out of anyone for attacking you when that is all you did to me. I didn't attack you once yet you couldn't help yourself...this shows more than anything you'll be able to type.

Wow you sure are spammy... but then kids do tend to be (especially when spamming forums for their free ipods), and, lacking any actual argument I can see why one might say the same thing over and over... at any rate that's not my reason for taking up these debates with gusto, so I guess that theory's out.

um, the creative zen micro is supposed to be pretty good, as is the virgin player (5gb). i'm trying out both, we'll see how they measure up. i didn't care for the muvo tx fm's overall design (and the radio is a pos).

Nah, too easy

Yet another example, but you be sure to get back to me with my "insults" and "attacks" ...

Another example of what? :confused:

At any rate, since you seem too dense to get it, putting words in peoples' mouths can be an attack and certainly was in this case. How would you like it if I claimed you made a racist comment (just a hypothetical example)?

Gruck, I never put words in your mouth. Hypothetically even if I did, that isn't attacking you. Why don't you just admit that you did EXACTLY what you belittle everyone else for doing to you.

I don't know you well enough to make a judge of character, so im not going to. All I get to see, not that I care to see more ;) , are little tid bits in threads like these.

Agreed, you put words in Gurck's mouth. I don't know who Gruck is. Since you seem to be in your own version of reality I'll consider this thread over.

Hypothetically even if I did, that isn't attacking you.
You sure about that? Ok...

I have to disagree with you, on top of just being unable to believe that you said such a thing on these forums, I think this is indicative of a low IQ.

You're going to run away based on a typo...?

Im not saying that if I did it would be a good thing, but you're not using attack in the right context, try again.

This is mature, again...please provide the evidence.

Agreed it's not very mature, but I'm trying to get a point across, and I have to speak in the lowest common denominator language if I'm to do so...

Creative doesn't make the hard drives, and all of the hard drive players seem to have problems for some people, so the iRiver or iPod or Rio could be just as likely to die on you.

I use my 3rd gen iPod while running all the time and have yet to have a problem in over a year and a half. *knock on wood*

Well, it looks like the fvcking piece of sh!t 10gig ipod 3rd gen bit the dust. I'm running diagnostics on it and I got a HDD FAIL error back on it. When I hook it up on any machine, it locks up and I can't format it. Plus, I think it's out of the year warranty. Great.

Gogogo.

Wow... Seriously, you might need professional help. With enough therapy and medicine perhaps you can leave your reality and rejoin the rest of us...
