I have noticed that when an AMD poster gets out of line, others often gently reprimand him. On the other hand, I have never seen Intel posters reprimand their own. I am directing this criticism directly at you and Ten, because you are the only people from the Intel thread who could have played a moderating role. Excellent point.

Kap RE <<<I have noticed that when an AMD poster gets out of line, others often gently reprimand him. On the other hand, I have never seen Intel posters reprimand their own. I am directing this criticism directly at you and Ten, because you are the only people from the Intel thread who could have played a moderating role.>>> I essentially agree with you and frankly the whole exchange between the intc ugly twins (I think of yousef as engel's alter ego....his dark side....I know it is hard to believe that engels could get any darker) is real old. Probably no one will agree with me but I feel that if the AMD longs would stop trying to have a reasonable (and pleasant) discourse with the ugly twins, things would improve a great deal. The truth is if Sanders walked on water tomorrow, he would still be a loser in their posts. There is no way the ugly twins are going to play nice like many on this thread seem to want. Secondly, funny as this may sound, many AMD posters act like an abused victim.....their tormenter kicks them and the victim turns around and compliments the abuser.....in effect asking to be kicked again. The victim, of course, is hoping that the abuser, once complimented, will not kick him/her anymore. That's not going to happen in this life time. So I strongly encourage you to stop giving the ugly twins any sort of positive response....I promise you they only see it as weakness. In spite of the disfunction on this thread, I have learned a great deal; so I find it too bad that the ugly twins can disrupt things so easily. My suggestion is to ignore them completely or respond much like Scumbria and some others do....minimally and with sarcasm. As for me I plan to continue to bring the battle to the intc thread and do some postings there from time to time, noting meaningful events in the progress of AMD and providing links to those notable events. I always did like the notion of sharing. Before you criticize this post, think carefully....I believe there is truth in what I am saying. ted
