Re: WinXP --> Win98 Dial Up (direct)

 

OK, this one I will respond to, after all. But you ARE a fraud. Anyone who

reads your diatribes at all critically can easily see so.

I'll let Sunny defend himself if he feels you're worth it. I didn't hijach a

thread, I deliberately and matter-of-fctually commented on the link you

provided. Should I have started a new thread? I just figured that since I

KNOW you always have a pop-up blocker on you don't know what really goes on

in the internet world, and I didn't think you were SUCH a jerk as to allow

that kind of thing to go on, so I figured I'd tell you about it. Give you

some suggestions for alternative solutions.

 

But as it turns out, you're just a socially irresponsible FRAUD.

> YOU, Gary, started an attack just like YOU always do.

 

Your site is an insult to any "professional" who provides assistance to this

group. THAT is why I took offense and commented. I gave suggestions, you

took unwarranted offense when you could have instead admitted that I was

right and that you need to find a different host. You so much couldn't

defend yourself against what I charged that you descended into blithering

idiocy.

I don't have XP views you idiot, except to say that it does what I need to

do better than ANY other OS on the market, past or present, and so for

practical reasons, I use it. I most certainly wish there was a better OS out

there and I'm no more happy with the history of Microsoft's development of

Windows than you are.

 

No, what I have are Windows 98 views and they say that Win98 is dying a

rather quick death, now, that it is obsolete, that people who insist on

staying stuck in the past with Win98, ESPECIALLY when they do so by atacking

everything else more modern, in this case Windows XP and Vista, are

Luddites, which they are, by definition.

 

If you'd ever bothered to read what I post, you'd know that my argument is

based upon economics, not technicalities or comparative security, or

whatever else your pathologically obsessed mind wants to obsess about.

> YOU have repeatedly attacked parties merely posting in this group for no

> apparent reason other than you were having a bad day.

 

A couple of times, yes, and I admitted it. But just because I say what I

mean, out loud and withholding no punches, or even if I rant, that does NOT

mean it wasn't deserved. Plus, when I run into someone who deserves a

dressing down (or, more commonly a WAKING UP!), I take full advantage of the

cathartic opportunities presented.

> YOU have repeatedly attempted to bring me into this mindless stupidity of

> yours.

 

I haven't attempted to bring you into ANY conversation. All I had to do is

call some other idiot a Luddite and there you were to take offense. Nobody

invited you. And there's nothing mindlesss OR stupid about calling Windows

98 an obsolete system and its *enthusiasts* Luddites. Those are both true

facts, by definition.

GFY.

Please point out where I "spout" such crap. I simply tell it like it is. You

are the one so wrapped up in your conspiracy theories and whining about

Microsoft that you can't even see straight enough to actually read what I

write in our conversations. And you are again LYING when you say that I've

never run any other OS than Windows. Why do you keep spouting these lies?

Oh, I know. Because you really don't KNOW a thing about me but you've run

out of arguments, so it's time to drag out the LIES.

> Like I said, take your meds, seek professional medical help, and try to

> actually provide a useful function on this planet.

 

Again, GFY. You have no idea what you're talking about. As usual.

 

Anyway, NOW maybe I will stop responding to your posts. I never get anything

but insane babbling in return, anyway.

Re: WinXP --> Win98 Dial Up (direct)

 

Hey, MEB. You're so knowledgeable about security problems and the

vulnerabilities in Windows XP, how about you break into my computer. Go

ahead, I dare you. Get into any of my computers and steal some info that

could only come from here. Heck, you can even set up a website full of crap

and I'll go there, with no special protections in place other than my

standard ones.

 

Steal something from me, Maurice. If you can't do that, and PROVE it without

any help from me, you're a fraud, plain and simple.
