Re: "Now he's just a pointless potty mouth on the internet, sort of the intellectual equivalent of a bag lady."
"1. Paul is unfailingly civil to those who are civil to him."
That is bullshit. If paul sees his little Intellababy attacked or in trouble, he will be a lot less than "civil" to the person who "did" that to "his baby" , without that person directly attacking paul or mentioning his name
"2. Paul quickly and directly admits his mistakes if his information or his predictions are wrong."
WHAT?!? haha! hahaha! You _are_ paul! Admit it pauleron, you just got yourself a new SI registration to defend yourself!.
Or are you his partner? mother? son?
"3. However, Paul's information and predictions have, I believe, as good a track record as any poster on SI's Intel and AMD threads."
He had his share of correct intel-gossip , yes.
In contrast to that he has been very wrong too, and he usually totally shuts up when intel is "going down" , or resorts to the usual "bash people on #amd thread" tour, focussing on persons instead of facts , taking away the attention to his formerly wrong statements. Few people recollect what he said because it was of such low value and so obviously biassed that it wasnt worth remembering. He makes good of use of that, but there are a number of people who bookmarked certain posts of him and posted them a month or 5 later, givving me a good laugh reading his reaction (usually trying to change topic as quickly as possible - and succeeds too mostly).
"4. While clearly pro-Intel, Paul openly and emphatically criticizes Intel when he feels Intel does not perform up to its usual standard."
In wich century did he do that? Show me please? I cant recollect paul ever doing that, he simply vannishes from this thread when intel "doesnt perform up to his usual standard" , and returns if there are negative gossips or bad news from AMD , knowing that the people will react to that and focuss on that, forgetting that he didnt give them ANY explanation for recent intel let-downs
"5. He does not suffer fools gladly and he returns insults with relish."
I guess hes pretty good at that, yes
offcourse I am highly biassed myself , i.e. not unbiassed, furthermore I have a little history with paul and am sometimes more than averageley irritated by his posts, so you, and paul in particular, should take my above statements with a certain degree of saltgrainyness :)
Not to mention I am cynical at times.
Hugs, michael.
