[LaW]Maverick November 14, 2007 Share [LaW]Maverick Member November 14, 2007 Ok, so I was sitting here thinking to myself: "What if those banter-filled arguments about things on the forums actually really irritate people on opposite sides of the issue?" I'll give you an example: SJ = lover of all things Mac Me = hater of most things Mac So, we tend to argue about this Mac issue on the forums a lot. A while ago there was a big Sony debate (and of course everyone has acceded that the ps3 sucks...hahaha j/k) as another example Why am I posting up about this? Well, it's simple really, I don't want it to seem like I'm personally attacking people. I joke around about things, and I like to point out why I don't like this, or why I like that instead--and so do most of the other people on the forum. :-) In any case, I just want to make sure everyone is taking it how I mean it--as a friendly debate with some jokes thrown in. When SJ bashes my Zune, for example, I just laugh it off and tell him why I don't like iPods. :-) That's about all the reaction it gets, and it's good fun trading verbal blows--but like I said up there, it occured to me that SJ could be sitting at his computer thinking "This guy is such an idiot and he really ticks me off! I wish he'd just shut up!" So yeah...I posted up here to say sorry if that's how I come across, and for those of you that think that...well, you're sensitive people, aren't ya'? lol Anyway, I don't think anyone here means any of these debates as a personal attack or is trying to be a schmuck about things, so always keep that in mind and happy posting!

mookie November 14, 2007 Share mookie GC Alumni November 14, 2007 The only hardware I've ever bought from Microsoft was an MN-730 (802.11b/g NIC) and from that experience I discovered that MS guards their drivers like they were the recipe for Coca-Cola.

Saris November 15, 2007 Share Saris Member November 15, 2007 Really, the only threads I post in nowadays are the ones that have a good debate going on. The one thing that actually DID peeve me was a thread about family violence that someone (can't remember who) said should be closed, yet it was entirely friendly debate, no one had even made a single comment towards another about it. But there is that issue of when you don't know if someone will take a post the wrong way. So, same for me, if anyone's ever been offended by one of my posts, you've taken it the wrong way.
