Wanna, Re: <This forum comes with the option to ignore others, and that has to be enough for some people. I don't agree with going around and eliminating people from the thread, just because they have unpopular opinions.>
We will see how it goes in the voting.
I would remind all that this permanent ban is a result of Paul's actions.

1. Second ban on Paul Engel, this will be for 30 days. This ban is partly for these two posts:
Message 15559828
Message 15559701
But also keep in mind the almost constant non interrupted flow of condescending and crude posts one after another.
Message 1559701 was his post to Mike Magee:
Mike - Re: "We will give you a formal letter of dismissal on Monday. "
After years of bizarre half-truths - and untruths - from the YUK Wretchedster, is this yet another example of a phony "news item" that is so typical of your wet rag?
Paul
====================
If the vote fails to eliminate Paul I may well agitate to start another AMD thread with some current or x Intel-employees banned from the start.
You guys probably had/have the ability to control him to some degree but didn't use it.
