The boycott did have one lasting effect though. I really got to see
how fucking crazy some of the posters are. I guess usually it's all
spread out amongst many threads/posters. I used to think that I was
helping out by pointing out some of the idiocy, but I think a majority
are just fucking wacked to begin with. You could lay down an argument
that 2+2 = 4 and they would reject it (and not just Snit) because you
didn't provide a link, because you're a troll and who's going to
follow your links anway, or because you didn't tell the whole story of
why you wanted to prove 2+2=4. I'm sure I'll get back into it after
the 15th, but I don't know if I'll enjoy it as much anymore. I mean
how do you reason with people who say things like, "Tim you can't be
bothered to provide a link?...I'm not following that tinyurl, I'm not
stupid...Who cares about that stupid link anyway Tim, why would I even
follow it in the first place?...I asked for it because you didn't
provide it, not because I wanted to read what was there...Because it
might actually prove me incorrect."
It's truly amazing how low these COLA morons can sink!
Some of my observations:
1. Ganging up on Tim and Hadron.
2. Goblin appearing out of nowhere, evidently due to marching orders from
Spamowitz because Goblin hangs out on BN. He has stated in the past that he
likes to post in Windows groups to annoy Windows users. His main goal is to
get hits to his website, like Spamowitz does.
3. Kohlmann denying the Wine= emulator thing even though the designers
claim differently. Amazing he denied that Finale was a composition program
despite it saying so right on the Finale homepage.
4. The filth emanating from Ahlstrom is getting tiresome. He is obviously
sticking his head up Spamowitz's ass so far he can't even think anymore.
5. The number of new names and attempts to discredit HPT and blame it on
us. It's obvious they are creating these nyms to make us look bad.
6. Notice Spamowitz replying to his own posts, quoting the entire message
and then dropping in one sentence. It's all about SPAM with him.
7. The totally baseless accusations accusing us of posting there under
other names and breaking the boycott. The funny thing is, like Tim pointed
out, they can't even agree on what troll it is and of course they have zero
proof.
For the record, I have not posted there since 11/16 and to be honest I may
not even return on 12/17 because it is getting so nasty there.
I seriously think some of those people are absolutely insane.
Really.....
