so him giving a legit technical reason why the older C/KU feedhorn in alot of cases is better than the newer LNBF's is trolling? Thats a new one
Would it have been OK if I copy/pasted Brian's post?
(after all I have no commercial interest)
Iceberg, I was specifically referring to this post, in which Titanium more or less accused me of being a troll - referring to a discussion we'd had that had progressively gone downhill, he said "This interaction may have started as discussion, but it certainly became a troll." (See
this post). And I'm assuming that he was not referring to his own posts when he said that.
Thing is that if you read that thread, a logical person might appreciate that following that exchange, if I asked a question of a specific person in an open forum, he was probably the very last person I'd want to hear from. Of course I am at a disadvantage here, since I am a mere user, while he is probably considered a valued member of this community. So I guess that means it's okay if he disrespects me, as he did in that thread, primarily because I dared to question the pricing of his product and to suggest that the ability to upgrade firmware using RS232 and Windows-based software is not exactly a great feature, considering that many new computers don't have RS-232 ports and that Windows is declining in popularity. But even though he carried the conversation forward as much as I did, since we each responded to the other's posts, in the end he made that comment about me being a troll. As long as I have been in this forum, I have never felt so disrespected by anyone, though I can see that I'm probably on the losing side here because I'm not selling anything and I don't participate that often (wonder why?).
That was what inspired the bit of snark in my previous comment in this thread. And suddenly I am told by eurosport that what I said could be considered flaming. Yet when he (Titanium) said almost exactly the same thing to me, and did it first, nobody batted an eye. Funny how that works.
(I know you will probably delete this comment, but I hope you will read it and at least look back at that other thread to see what I'm talking about. When you visit that thread, try to figure out who was making the more personal attacks first. I don't think that thread could be considered a finest moment for either of us, but I was trying to stick to the device itself and then to responding to what had been posted, although admittedly there finally came a point that I was truly fed up.)
