Battlefront, the good and bad...

prowlerguy's back.

Does anyone even consider his arguments *half* passable?

DEFinitely the bad. This troll should be eliminated and yet Peter lets the trolling continue.

The good, a new poster WHUPS up on Venture!

Whoah.

That bit about a "holy warrior for Allah" was in very poor taste, given recent events.

PeterB isn't the one who "allows" people to post.  Caesar is the only one with power to lock accounts.

BTW, did you ever figure out who sent you the threatening smam?

Considering that pg's arguments are at least more lucid and thought-out (not to mention backed-up) than, say, eMA, LTB, or god forbid RR, I can't harbor any complaints about him.

It seems that anyone who speaks out against Apple, no matter how right they may be ;), gets labeled a troll.  Not surprisingly, the same can be said for the other camps just as easily.  That's too bad.  I respect a number of people on all sides, but too many pointless posters exist all around (though mostly on the Mac side ;)).  Which is why I haven't been posting there (that, and the "trolls" to whom I respond never reply themselves).

The majority of my posts, of late, have been in CPU&MT for a reason: The Battlefront is a...

[color=red]putrescent cesspool of misery and despair[/color]

I seem to remember HitScan liking that phrase very much.

The Battlefront has really been depressing me lately.  The trolls of late are but pale shadows of the great Trolls Of Old.  Operating systems themselves seem to have become boring.  I keep wanting to start a more interesting discussion there, but alas, no time...

IG: Like it I did, quite accurate. Sad too.

I'd like to partake of an interesting OS design discussion here or in the new Symposium, but my knowlege is still lacking (Laziness you see ;) ) and I'm also short of time. I hate that. (BUT! I'm only taking one damned class next semester, so I will no longer have to suffer through working every fucking saturday that comes down the pike. Yay me.)

No, AYB, I never did. :(
I forwarded the msg to Peter and, to be honest, when he told me where to look and I tracked the mail, it was a *remailer*.
Needless to say, I'm still pissed about that. :/

I'm sorry Harbinger, but I don't agree. prowlerguy is a liar and an exagerrator and I count him far above Venture, as a troll.

WHAT? That's completely an untruth. PeterB? Paul Hill? Illglwpns? ALL speak against Mac. Who calls them a troll? Noone. A troll is someone like BFG, Venture, seta or prowlerguy, that make outrageous one-sided allegations. Have you READ pg's post? He has *no* proof. I just saw Voradic rip him a new one and he ignores reason. He's a deviant.

We need you there to show them the way, but alas, you don't have time; so it will continue to fester and degenerate and die. Pity, that.

That's  uh, nice OW.  First time I've heard those particular words put in such an order all together, heh.

That's OK, though you did make the mistake of supposing that he said a CDRW costed $100,000 or something.

He did treat my poopy-head kinda harsh though, and that makes me sad :(

:rolleyes:

i didn't make any fucking mistake. He did say that he was looking for a CD-RW for a 1000 dollars in one of his post.

yes i know he didn't mean it that way, but he loves to play these stupid games and so i threw it back at him...

but then i realised i don't want to waste my time doing this with anyone on line. I got better things to do like playing poker with you and trying to win my toenail clipper back.

GIVE BACK MY FUCKING TOENAIL CLIPPER.

My nails are cutting through my socks like skissors!

Here you are,

:hands clippers back:

Don't sweat it too much, as you can always just chill here with and escape the bad vibes....

I honestly don't read to much of his stuff. I prolly don't read more than 25% of the BF nowdays.

I read just about everything here though.
