Anyone else here think that Sapiens is on his way to being banned from this board?
 
JDULMAGE was entertaining and (when not screwing around, useful and intelligent), but this guy just comes off as an arrogant, albeit idiot, stubborn little 4$$hole

Yes, this lame immature a$$ should go elsewhere to play with kids.
Jdul was s***ng but at least there was some fun and sometimes humour in his posts.
This one has choosen a bad name. Sapiens means 'knowledgeable' or 'wise' in Latin.
I don't see anything such in his arrogant posts.
He just started and kept on flaming me just because I was temporarily playing with a C2, which by the way I'll throw at a system I intend to donate to a pennyless young guy of my relatives.
Sapiens is not worth a penny. Definitely lame.

Grow up all of you....if you can't detect the sarcasm in my comments and know that i'm trying to get things stirred up on this very boring message board then who cares. I'm just having a little fun.. for Pete's sake, or your own's....I'm trying to be a smart ass..we always have the same old discussion and its so subjective you like what you like and vice versa..I honestly don't beleive any of the bs I posted..well maybe some but not to such extremes...And the personal attacks were...just to poke fun...ANy of you ever watch Michael Moore..then you'll know where i'm coming from. I actualy do have an intelligent and unbiased oppinion..and I'm a pretty good technician..but I get tired of the same ol Intel vs AMD bs.....I like them Both......THERE.....i admitted it...now please take what I said in jest as is was meant to be
 
If I really were inclined to post like that I woulda done so a long time ago....I just grow tired of same old discussions..so I wanted to liven things up

Isn't if funny how anyone who goes flame crazy and then is called *on the carpet* per se, they then recant and pronounce that it was all done for fun, and in sarcasm, and "I didn't mean it", and I did it "to liven up things a little."
 
Well, here's what I think:
 
Write what you think, when you think it, and if caught in a lie, or untenable position, or as a flamer, suck it up and admit what you've done, THEN SHUT THE CRAP UP. (I would have said something else, but I did not *think* it was appropriate.)

That wasn't a "recant" btw. Thats the problem with .... Yeah i got some built up anger topward INTEL....er had....so i let loose a litlle thought I'd Try to be funny ..and the thing is It worked..i got the desired response. THat in a way is the sad thing..
 
Point in case
 
KKK shows up in TOwn for their stupid annual rally....Protestors plan a rally to coincide with the KKK's....all hell breaks loose, every redneck racist shows up and damn near a riot. the protestors were as stupid as the KKK.. the next year everyone decided to just not go and let the KKK have thier little rally
 
 
12 KKK members showed up and left early cause no one was there.
 
 
My point being if you call someone stupid arrogant and biased, how can you then try and make an intelligent argument with that person. IF you say the person lacks the necessary skills to comprehend in the first place....then what witty brilliant reply is gonna help things at all. The fact remains that if you flame someone for flaming you are no better.... when somone like me...makes an ass out of himself...albeit on purpose. how does responding in kind make you better. I do not argue with racists or homophobes cause no intelligent speech by me is gonna change them..I just ignore them and hope for the best.. The best way to win sometimes is to be silent....you gave me what i wanted and thats says a lot about all of you. ONly fools respond to fools..thus continuing the idiotic conversation .sad thing is mine was on purspose......

Now you stop and leave.
Your stuff is a stockpile of useless clichés.
Nothing new. Nothing personnal. Nothing original.
Don't put the fire on and then say you weren't there.
Zero, null, nada, inconsistent, no value, no help, no hope, no share, no fun.
Jump into the nearest portal to nowhere.
You never existed.
Your story ends here.
