Jozef Re..I have been AMD shareholder on this board, and I have questioned probably half of the decisions AMD made. You seem to be content with every single decision Intel makes, until Intel makes a reversal, and then you support the new decision, keeping you 100% in sync with Intel PR operation.<<<<<<<<
What does you questioning half of AMD's decisions have to do with how many of Intel's decisions BMW questions. Isn't that for him to decide?
I can see questioning some people, but BMW? PE, if you wanted to question his motives, fine. All he did was insult people for no reason. When has BMW done that? What is the purpose for the accusation that BMW is not only working for Intel (which we all know), but that he is being paid specifically by Intel to just spread FUD. Is it to drive BMW off of the board as we seen to have done to Tench.
A lot of times the reason is for pride. Well BMW reasoning is too good to defeat, so I will win my argument by devaluing the source. Sort of like politics. I can't beat the other guys ideas, so I will attack him personally, so I will look better by comparison. Do we on this board really want to go down that road. Isn't that the main reason why Mani started this board. Now I am not accusing you or TWY or anyone else of insulting BMW, but one can discredit someone without insulting him. AND the end result is that, you wind up discrediting both of you. How? By conceding that BMW's arguments can only be beaten by discrediting the person, you are conceding the argument. Don't do that. Beat the argument. And if you do, both sides will look good.
There is a proverb or joke going around that has a lot of truth to it. A sort of Dilbert joke
Nerver argue with an idiot.
He will just drag you down to his level and beat you with experience. <<<<<<<<
I am not saying you are calling BMW an idiot. But the same rule applies. Why argue with someone you believe to be a company stooge; when you know you will never convince him of the merits of your argument? And why try to convince us that, except for BMW being an Intel stooge, you had the better argument. Why not let us decide on the merits of your argument.
Finally, what difference does it make if BMW is, as you claim, an Intel stooge. Does that disqualify BMW from making the argument in the first place. No. So, why bring it up then? Whether BMW is a company stooge or not, hardly validates the merits of your argument that IA-64 is a subpar system. IA-64 will survive or fall based on its merits, not whether BMW is an Intel stooge, so what does it matter? |
