Is it you? You always seem pretty mad in tech talk.

6/21/2012 9:30:12 AM

only when you talk about his iPad purse.

6/21/2012 9:31:43 AM

Nah, troll feeding would be replying to his inevitable replies to this thread, which I won't be doing since thankfully I don't see any of his posts anymore.

"seem" being the important word there. Not everything on the internet is how it seems. I go around sending a couple dozen private messages to someone because I'm butthurt over something that happened a year ago, then we can talk about actually being mad.

"only when you talk about his iPad purse."

People really like to think that bothered me, but I think I did a really great job of hiding my anger over that one. Or...you know...never really having any bit of anger about it in the first place.

6/21/2012 10:49:57 AM

bro, everybody in Tech Talk knows how butthurt you get in Apple threads and how "LALALA-fingers-in-my-ears" you get when people call you out, so you can just drop the whole "people really like to think that bothers me" act.

6/21/2012 10:57:50 AM

I mean, it's fine if that's what you think. But it's simply not true. Guess I can't change how people feel, it's really a good thing I don't use TWW to garner my self-worth. Bro.

It's easy to say, "I wasn't angry" over the internet because you're hiding behind a computer screen.

But when someone who doesn't normally use exclamation points or naughty words, suddenly goes on a profanity laced rant with exclamation points and capital letters all over the place (and is clearly not joking)...then yes, you were angry.

It's okay though...everyone gets mad. It just makes you look kinda sad when you keep denying it.

likewise, it's just as easy to assume someone is angry when you have no idea if they really are or not.

I use exclamation points and profanity all the time. Although, most of the time I am joking (my status on TWW for example) but clearly sarcasm doesn't translate well over the internet. Are you really accusing me of being someone who doesn't normally curse or use exclamation points? That's probably a first.

If you're still talking about the iPad bag fiasco, I just went back and read the entire part of the thread where that went down. There was no cursing, exclamation points, or capital letters. I'm not sure what you're trying to get at, but clearly you're remembering things the way they happened in your head vs the way they actually went down. I really can't combat something like that with any sort of reality based argument.

6/21/2012 11:13:09 AM

Implying anger is fun because it usually provokes folks to defend themselves from the percieved social suicide of getting upset over something someone posted on he Internet, even though everyone does from time to time. One of the oldest trolls in the book.

You are correct on the exclamation point thingy. You win.

6/21/2012 11:20:28 AM

When I get to put dumbasses like you in your place it literally makes me the exact opposite of angry. It's seriously one of the biggest reasons I visit TWW. Sorry to burst your bubble.


[Edited on June 21, 2012 at 11:28 AM. Reason : also I see no capital letters all over the place. you're 1/3 on your anger detection buddy.]

I'm a self-proclaimed Tech dumbass. Kind of hard to put me in a place that I agree I'm already in. But congrats. You can file that one away in your ipad trapper keeper:



I pretty much come to t-dub to rile geeks like you up. As usual...success!

That would be a completely valid defense, if I had got onto you for not being knowledgeable about the inner workings of the iPhone.

I went off on you for just being an all-around dumbass. Hey, let's ask questions that nobody has the answers to, and I've already googled about, but surely somebody has to know something. That has nothing to do with tech knowledge, and everything to do with you being an imbecile. I don't just pick on people because they don't know something. I pick on people that are aggressively stupid with their determined lack of knowledge. So congrats, you made the cut.

you should see him in sports talk.

6/21/2012 12:26:11 PM

Oh...I def get mad in Sports Talk. Well, "frustrated" would be the best word to describe it. I wish most posters would come into Sports Talk with the attitude that I bring into Tech Talk. The, "I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, let me ask a few questions and hope I get a few answers. Oh wait...El Nacho is on his period again...I'm out!"

6/21/2012 12:37:04 PM

What gives, sugarplum?

I know I asked this in the middle of throwing a couple of well-deserved insults and profanities in your direction, but it is a legitimate question, and it's worth repeating here. What kind of answers did you expect to receive by asking those types of questions? You admitted you had done a small amount of research beforehand, which automatically puts you a couple of steps ahead of a lot of n00b posters over in Tech Talk, but did you honestly think that there were people with inside knowledge of Apple's release strategy just perusing TWW waiting for you to ask them to spill what they knew? I would think/hope that stupid questions and the people asking them get met with the same type of contempt in all sections of TWW. It has nothing to do with me being on my period. You really need to stop trying to pawn your lack of intelligence on other people just having a bad day/being mad at the world. You asked a series of stupid questions, got called out on it, and lashed out in retaliation. If anybody was mad throughout this entire exchange it was clearly the person that pic bombed the thread and still remembered the encounter a month later well enough to bitch about it here. Is this the part where I'm supposed to post a picture asking if "u mad?"

6/21/2012 1:12:12 PM

I go into Tech Talk for a consensus.

First, I don't generally do a lot of research on Tech stuff. If I'm looking to buy a tablet, a laptop, or my contract up and is up and I'm looking at phones...then I'll do a basic google search. I'll try and find some comparison videos and basic reviews. So this happens once, maybe twice a year at the most. I don't know how trustworthy these sites are...I don't know what the main-tech and well regarded sites are. So many different articles come up that say so many different things...that it can be a tad bit overwhelming, but nothing that makes me feel lost.

So then I go into Tech Talk to see if anyone's opinions match what I found through my brief "research." And if I don't find any opinions, then I'll ask some general questions to get those opinions. A lot of it is me being lazy...but why pore through dozens of articles when I ask a question or start a thread on t-dub and get most of my answers from people that I mostly respect (although I do have to figure in apple and MS-biases).

In regards to the iphone question which got your panties in a wad...there were several articles that came up (that mentioned "iphone5"...which again, riled you up for some reason)...and they all brought up that they thought the new iphone would have 4G capabilities (with Verizon of course) and possibly have a larger screen. So I brought those questions to Tech Talk to see what the consensus was. For some reason, you were the only one that got "angry" (I forgot...you don't get angry). I know Tech Talk has a ton of posters that work for companies in similar fields, and that's why I go there for their expertise. I also know that iphone/ipad/iwhatever stuff has come leaked out in the past and people have made decent predictions on things that have been released. Again, I don't keep up with this shit...I only look into it if I'm about to purchase something. So I miss A LOT.

I don't care if you get angry, but it does tend to clog up the discussion aside from it being amusing.

I also have the memory of an elephant. I can recall disagreements that Ernie and I had years ago over Brett Favre. Remembering what the argument I had with Sensitive Sally in Tech Talk is pretty easy.
