It's getting tiresome

+1

Just filter through the garbage and you'll find great info on this site.

I've posted a similar rant in some "LOLZ ATI ZOMG DEAD" thread, so I agree competely.

I think everyone here should listen to Anamanaguchi and chill out.

I agree 100%!! That is why I dont come here all that often anymore. Nothing like a bunch of people starting flame wars in a good post that some is lokking for help in.

It's out of hand & I dont think there is any moderation here. I think most of the guys that flame are only looking for thier post counts to increase hoping that people will think they are knowledgeable about hardware.

I am in no way a computer expert and after reading the amount of knowledge on the subject, posted by some of the people here, I wonder if I should even consider myself an "enthusiast" , but I have to agree.
I often read the first few post and quit for this reason.
So what if "x" is beating the crap out of "y" at the moment.
I come here because I am looking for knowledge.
Thus the low post count ,that and my ignorance of the details.

Just what I would expect from an AMD fanboy such as yourself.

Major, if you had taken the time to at least read the sig, you'd have noticed I am no AMD fanboy. I like Intel as much as I like AMD. Three of my 6 machines are AMD, although my main rig is a P4.

I do admit intel at the moment has great products and which I wish I had a C2D right now. I do, however, hope AMD can get out of the hole it's got itself into. It's best for the sake of all of us.

I also like nVidia as much as ATI... and I have both (my 2ndary machine has a Radeon 9800)

I like Windows as much as I like Linux... and I use both.

I disagree, man. I believe the cause is more because of each person's individual level of education.

As an avid reader and occasional poster on these forums since 2002, I can tell you that these flame wars and fanboys have always and will always continue to exist. Just skip through the garbage and pay attention to the worthwhile stuff.

--Unless of course you are like me and find idiots to be somewhat entertaining

You're saying that kind of stuff isn't useful?

that is a true pearl of wisdom.

Tom should just close the forums, and whenever someone tries to ask a question they are simply redirected to the above statement. The begining and end of all truths. You could as well add: AND ASUS BOARDS ARE BETTER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE. AND YOU SHOULD ONLY BUY FROM NEWEGG. AND DON'T USE ANYTHING OTHER THAN ARCTIC SILVER 5.

Wouldn't that simplify the whole thing?

Dude, Why do you come on here flaming the flamers and THG? Don't you have anything better to do? Quit wasting our time with your illogical rant's :x

Knowledge has never been known to enter the head through an open mouth

I come on the forum everyday i learn something new. about computer's and i have been in computers sense i was 7 and i am now 21. and even with the flame wars. it does help becasue even tho they are flaming alot fo them are speaking the truth about the company. i mean yeah i have used ati amd intel and nvidia. right now i have a p4 with a ati video card in it. when i had amd i used a nvidia. it does not make a differnce to me. all i care about is saving some money when i build a new computer. and that computer will work and do what i want it to do for a few years. i mean all the company's are good and they are bad. so really it all is the same some have the uppper hand on the other. just like just amd had intel on the upper hand on cpu's and how ati was good and then nvidia took over. its all the same in way or other. because like i said all comapny's have there good product's and there bad product's. so i really it does not make a differnce if the flame war's go on i think. its good people are fighting for the company they belive in there nothing wrong with that. some people take out of control. or out and way out there but. you will always learn something you never knew before. i mean just because someone says oo this company sucks and this company rules. i mean they are just standing up for what they belive in. some people belive that amd will come back some belive they won't i belive in all company's neways when these war's go on the customer wins because of low price's so what if people flame you are saving money in the end.

lol

thanks. If everyone who doesn't flame used "fanboy" or "fan" in their signature, maybe we could remove one of the main trolling insults from the forum.

But humor may be the best, so perhaps I'll try to make it funnier.

That was IRONY, FYI. I thought it was obvious, but I was just being sarcastic in opposition to the post I was replying to.

Naaa The best revenge especially when the attack is someone with Aspbergers is to ignore them completely....it litterally drives them wild...it's part of the syndrome. I know two people personally who suffer with this disease....they have a tough time.


Someone was mentioning that Fanboi's tell you the real deal about the company.....which is about as wrong as you can be. Being a fanboi means you have lost your objectivity and have completley closed off a non-biased look at the competitors. And I have to say, 9 times out of 10 the people flaming and ranting...usually have no concept of what "Business" really is.


Of course this is all just one persons opinion here.

It's interesting what you say. I'm not trying to cause them any more pain, just educate them regarding civil interaction. I'd actually not want to drive one of them wild! It'd be great if somehow I knew the magic words to soothe them! I'm serious.

I don't really take offense, becuase you see, I'm 44, and I've seen a lot of life, and I can't really take the name-calling, strawmen, etc., to heart. My heart is full from so many people in my life, and our new baby here.

So I'd actually rather give them some peace, and yet somehow let them know the personal attacks don't work well in life.

Could be there's no way to do both at once.

Regarding Aspbergers, you may be right, because it's more common than people think, and often the person with it is going to be talented in other areas, like math or whatever, geeks. Some close friends have a child with Aspbergers who is 10 now, and he's a character. He [edit] has an unusual and sometimes challenged social sense, but he does have a kind of unique humor and I actually find some of his humor amusing when we visit. He loves to play board games, and we play in a group, and he often wins, even though I'm good at those games, and am trying!

So I have a certain sympathy for Aspbergers, and knowning this kid, it's possible for them to be pleasant enough, in the right circumstances. His parents are well suited, easy going, and are doing a great job.
