[QUOTE=dr emulator (madmax);1722526]and the moral of this tale is don't argue with the mods here, they are the door men who will throw your bottom out of this lovely club/forum /QUOTE]

meh . . . some of us argue with them quite often . . .

. . . well, more like "debate" with them . . . and I have a nasty habit of ignoring their "warnings" in threads

TBH, it's not about the arguing, it's about how you argue. If you start getting out of control, making a scene, and get out the thespian troupe . . . yeah, you're gonna have problems.

If you approach these "discussions" in a calm, collected manner - things don't typically get out of control.

That would be Dans pet. Dan is the creepy uncle with a part in the hair and wearing horn-rimmed glasses, making everyone in his vicinity feeling uncomfortably creeped out, stealing candy from babies and he can make a grown man cry like a four year old only with his stare

But he's a nice guy, really

Dan is a generally helpful soul who has an uncanny ability to interject the most poignant and cutting sarcarsm, at exactly the right moment, that I've ever seen, Which I must admit has caused me mild embarrassment a couple of times after I lol'd at his comments when co-workers were around.

If you cross him, however, it is wise to protect your vital organs.
Don't bother begging for your life, it won't help and you'll just die being a sissy.

Seems a lot of people are pissed over , well , they're attacking ATI now when they see Nvidia in pain , and March release is something nobody ever thought about , I really can feel how those can't accept defeat , even if it's a revolution in GPUs , the first GPU will seel for over a 1000$ i heard , ... so. I don't even need that and for my needs even 4870 is enough. The common resolution being 1280x1024 it's enough.


And a lot of offtopic here too...

Please post all your _constructive_ comments here, no fighting/drama. Also ideas how to resolve such conflicts are welcome. I am taking this very seriously.

If you are afraid of posting publicly email me to w1zzard@techpowerup.com, I will then add your post here

I am satan. dan is my cousin. W1zz is a angel with bad intentions and some habits. Now do thy bidding.

In all honesty I could have been nicer, but that isn't me. He seemed to be a smart guy, but he obviously has some issues that he needs to work out. If you are reading this Bo, you might want to get some help and lay off the nets for awhile, I'm saying that as the only really nice thing I can say. I am guessing OCD, ADD or the like? It reall wan't worth spengin that much time on one item that could have been a game, driver, or other simple glitch.


Anyway, I'm evil, yadda yadda yadda. Lets move on.

I think we have Steevo. But your advice is good for anyone who finds an internet forum a source of frustration.
Take a break, evaluate what is really important in life, and then act on that new revelation.

That being said, I think Steevo is more of a nuetral-evil sort of twisted type.

You, nicer? I kinda got a chuckle out of that.

S'all good, though, man . . . those of us who've been around a long while know what kind of responses to expect from other long-time users.

It's the internetz, though. Sadly, most people don't have thick enough skin to head out the door in the morning.

If grammar was a banning offense here at TPU we would only have about 20 members.

Sad thing is, in reality, I would be one of the ones to go. Most of the time I'm too lazy to click on the spell checker, even though it takes a whole 5 seconds to use

I fail with browsers, I stick to IE with IeSpell, or Crazybrowser, which uses the same. Either way my 5 second time frame may be over exaggerated.

Peetie, your grammar is fine. Everyone makes mistakes and to make that a bannable offense is rather over the top. What's next on those sites? Infractions for spelling errors?

There are some people here that I just cannot understand, but even if it's an international forum most members are pretty good at english. At least good enough, imo you can't really demand perfect english on a forum like this.

Oh, I just noticed bta have 11k posts.
