Would this be too douchey on my part?

So, some guy I barely know bought an Alienware M14x with a GT 555M today. Not a bad machine specs wise, but he's been parading it and making comments on Facebook on how awesome it is all day long.

Most aggravating to me were his comments about how the 3GB make the video card super duper high end and superior to most desktop gaming PCs.

I'm so tempted to link him to some benchmarks and burst his happy bubble right now. Then again he just got it today and it would be pretty evil to do that. I'm not sure if I feel evil enough tonight :hmm:

Do it nao! But message him privately.. if he still insists he is right, then go public.

The only solution is to get rid of facebook. You can't actually delete it since they don't respect your privacy, or wishes, but you can quit logging in.

one day you will get to the place where you figure out it just is not worth the effort unless this person is a good friend. it's just so much easier to let clueless people keep on being clueless. People tell me downright dumb shit all the time and I just nod knowing if I don't respond they will waste less of my time. really I don't understand what you are doing even reading what that guy posts when you know it's garbage. facebook is another story, i was on it for about a month, it's just awful. I guess you could just set it so you ignore most everyone but then what's the point to begin with. Most people don't take the time to post quality content on the internet, especially on something like facebook. we have a very limited time on this earth. If I'm going to read something on the internet I want to drastically increase the percentage of decent thoughful content. That said I don't spend a lot of time on these forums, but there's always that rare nugget of goodness.

So ignore this guy unless you are the type who enjoys meaningless confrontation.

Actually, I deleted my old account. It's a bit more involved than "deactivating" it, but AFAIK, it works.

Has he personally antagonized, perhaps any time in the past? If not, then leave it alone, it won't matter at all.

Unless you just feel like being a dick. Then have fun. :awe:

Get off your Mommies computer long enough to ask her to buy you one & you won't be so jealous.

his frame rate issues once he maxes out settings in games will teach him enough, not necessary to tell him.
