In Reply to: RE: You've called me a cheerleader and posted photos of outfits and pom poms. Is that what you mean by help? posted by Jazz Inmate on January 21, 2008 at 09:33:57
...which is something that you've rarely done, and only then when it suits your agenda! You look for biased press pandering to one format or provide sock-puppet responses to Ole's posts which you apparently have a vested interest in supporting. My responses countered your one-size-fits-all region dictated approach that backs the still not-ready-for-prime-time format.>>> "You've called me a cheerleader..." <<<
If it slithers like a snake and hisses like a snake, ...then it's probably a snake!

You've linked me to the website of an unemployed socialist who is a Microsoft "MVP" and who badmouths blu-ray on his blog. If you think he's nonbiased, you're a blithering idiot--well, you're a blithering idiot regardless.I usually go to wire reports or the Nielson data that in your infinite ignorance you have decided is "biased". The one exception has been comments by directors like Michael Bay and Spielberg who insist blu-ray is the way to go for reasons that amount to quality considerations.
What BD do you have, by the way? I noticed your reluctance to name it.

...and I'm confident that you'll eventually figure out which film I ordered from Amazon.co.uk by the simple process of elimination (that's if you're capable of putting away those fluffy blue pompoms long enough to think about it).> > > "You've linked me to the website of an unemployed socialist who is a Microsoft "MVP" and who badmouths blu-ray on his blog." < < <
His comments made perfect sense and were based on reasonable observations about this war and facts; your decision to take pot-shots at the messenger rather than address the well founded points he presented is typical fan-boy schtick.
Here are more links of balanced observations about the HD/BD war:

There are lots more, but why should I waste my time feeding internet Dramamine to a pompom shaking fan-boy who prefers spinning ad nauseam to regaining his balance? ;0)

I assume it's too silly of a title to mention, since you can't come right out and tell me. It's silly anyway, since you can't watch it. Also silly that you'd buy an import when for all you know, a domestic version could be released soon. But all of your buying decisions thus far have been stupid and your posts are getting more idiotic and desperate by the day.> > His comments made perfect sense and were based on reasonable observations about this war and facts; < <
But there were no facts in his blog. It was a bunch of half truths spun to demonize Sony and Blu-ray. Now that may seem factual if you're an airhead, but even you can't be so gullible as to believe any pro-HD DVD blog you read.
> > your decision to take pot-shots at the messenger rather than address the well founded points he presented is typical fan-boy schtick. < <
I did address his points and showed why they are anything but well-founded. But yes, I did find it pretty darn funny to click the "about the blogger" link and find out this nut was a socialist astronomer who is out of work and on MS's MVP list for free software. I mean, you couldn't have picked a more idiotic "expert" and if you just poked into the identity of your hero du jour for a moment, you would have realized he is an MS crackpot with no expertise in the HD formats and no finger on the pulse of the developments among the heavy hitters.

This is simply a question/answer post by someone who identifies himself as "superwoody". Meaning he wants people to think he has a big erection. I highly doubt this person is qualified to answer questions relating to Blu-ray or HD DVD and I see numerous factual errors in his post, as would anyone who follows the technologies.

This is a silly blog full of misinformation, not unlike the socialist's blog you liked. It's called "My Understanding of the Blu-ray vs HD-DVD Format War" and reads like a schoolkid's essay on "What I did for summer vacation". How you could mistake this crap for "empirical evidence" let alone a knowledgeable unbiased source points to your own idiocy. Most of the people replying to the blog seem more knowledgeable than the author does.
> > http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/35649/113/ < <
Auph, this reads like a list of reasons Blu-ray will win, with a couple comments after each one to the effect, "but it's still early and no one knows what will happen".
> > There are lots more, but why should I waste my time feeding internet Dramamine to a pompom shaking fan-boy who prefers spinning ad nauseam to regaining his balance? ;0) < <
Did I say "even you can't be so stupid to believe every HD DVD blog you read"? Gosh, you sure proved me wrong. You ARE that stupid.

Silly must be your "new word for the day" since you used it three times in one paragraph. ;^D
You whine better than any fan-boy that I've ever seen; you must've been a riot in secondary school! Am I being presumptuous using the past tense?

The points, the only ones of relevance, are those he presented. Your approach of personally attacking the messenger only serves to weaken you case and make your counter-points suspect.

"look more like" - "Sounds like" - Where is the substance? More vapid speculation on your part, obviously geared toward disinformation and ridicule. Not only are you a renowned SONY Blu-boy cheer-leader, but you're apparently a 'substance' abuser on a grand scale! ;O)

All I did was provide the links, except that I rarely open threads in order to flag opinions as if it's breaking "NEWS" (like you and your dutch uncle Ole, just to annoy folks who support other options) and I haven't been brainwashed into a one-size-fits-all theology.
