JC,

One more dissent and I'll leave the Moderated to the moderates (sarcasm).

re: What angered me was that people are resorting to accusations that this is all a plot to rid the thread of anti-Intel people.

No, it's targeted at getting rid of one person, Paul. Note that there are not times when only an AMD supporter gets thrown off. It's always an "Intelabee" and a token "Droid", to make it look fair. If there wasn't an Intel supporter that was a target (and Paul has permanent concentric circles on his chest) the subject of banning wouldn't even come up. I don't see 'Droids rallying to get 'Droids expelled.

The other aspect that you seem to miss is that although folks may be temporarily bearish on AMD, they still have a strong bias for AMD over Intel. Let's face it, there are two camps, regardless of short term sentiment towards the stock valuation or management ineptitude. To deny that is to deny the obvious if it supports your position. 'Droids and Intelabee's rarely change their stripes.

re: On the side, I should reiterate that not everybody has the ignore feature.

Yea, but "NEXT" works almost as well. I only have one person on Ignore, but I find I can ignore a lot of posts.
