Guest db ´¯`·.. > Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Re: Booting into DOS you mis understand, i have not wavered from my position or original response to the o.p. btw, all of your opinions and all your responses to my initial response were unnecessary, as i did not ask for a sample of your expertise, whatever it may be. it is obvious you don't know that being argumentative on someone else's subthread is what defines a "troll". the problem you have is not with me, but the problem you have is with yourself because you lack respect for others. you simply couldn't resist trolling and being argumentative then try to blame someone else for your anger. if you do not want my participation in the "sub thread i created", then create your own. it's that simple. but if you insist on being argumentative and continue to troll onto controverting subthreads, then you are not above the critism and ridicule that you express about others. -- db ·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·..><)))º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><)))º>¸. ><)))º>·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·.. ><)))º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><)))º> ..

This is a peer user newsgroup. You don't own any parts or sub-threads of any of the conversations. Your postings will be read by your peers and when incorrect advice or information is posted you will be challenged on your replies, this peer review is one of the strengths of peer newsgroups so you may as well get used to it. Your reply to the OP was *wrong* and if you cannot accept that and acknowledge your errors then you should do proper research before posting. John
Guest db ´¯`·.. > Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Re: Booting into DOS unless you are referring mvp to mvp; this is not a peer to peer place. it is instead a "free for all", the unfortunate but understandable aspect about this place is that there will always be those who do not know how to share or respect others. also, there are opportunist and of course there are the trolls who use this place as entertainment. i can appreciate your passion for this issue and explanations. but the criticisms integrated into your explanations added revealed an "attitude"and impatience that cast a shadow over your professional explanations. if you were unable to ascertain this from my initial one line response to the o.p., it was not my intent to provide a proverbial thesis on this subject. if my suggestion did not accommodate the o.p.., then so what. no point in having a cow over this as there will be other suggestions from others examining the issue. if i "were interested" in this subject, i could have simply reviewed the other responses/postings. the bottom line is that i didn't really need any information from you, especially since i wasn't asking any questions. but if you wanted to interject, then it could have been a polite and respectful manner, not unlike if you wanted to ascertain the attention of a stranger in a supermarket or something. for what it's worth you provided a great deal of useful information on this subject to the o.p., be it may indirectly. but the o.p. will have to filter out the adjectives and garbage you integrated into your explanations. next time please use your time wisely and provide your helpful information to those who are "asking questions". if i wanted more information from you i would have politely asked your for it, rather than challenge or degrade you. again, you are not my peer, but i hope that sharing the above with you will prove helpful.... -- db ·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·..><)))º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><)))º>¸. ><)))º>·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·.. ><)))º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><)))º> ..
