I don't see any bashing of anyone else here, indeed Orko's attitude that he's happy with Jaws is not too different to what I said about NvdA myself in post 11, so JaseK's conclusions about Orko's attitude don't seem correct here.
Remember, that whatever a person said in the past, attitudes can change, hell people wouldn't have to look too hard to find some posts myself from four or five years ago about how crappy I found post xp windows, attitudes I have definitely now altered, so when replying to someone in a thread, try just looking at what the person is saying there, after all everyone has bad days, people occasionally snap etc.
Orko is comfortable with Jaws and has concluded that NvdA takes more tinkering, and like everyone else on this forum he's entitled to his opinion, so what is wrong with that.
@Shotgunshell, while you were correct in post 38 that Orko had not attacked anyone or bashed anything in this thread, please be careful when talking about someone saying "stupid things", since in fraught situations such remarks can come off as insulting even if it was not your intention. Remember, that we only have text as a medium to interact with each other here and get nothing of tone or nuance, so we need to be clear about what we're saying even when our intentions are good.
@Ironcross, no where did Orko assault anyone in this thread, and frankly telling someone to leave the forum is definitely crossing a line.
remember, you yourself have already received several mod warnings for attacks on other memebers.
If you cannot learn to disagree with others gracefully and actually understand what is being said, then you are likely to end up being banned from the forum in the future.
@Orko, Firstly in post 45 you mention Amir, who did not say anything about you. Secondly, please stop with this passive aggressive "I am leaving this thread" business.
OInly three people in this thread have actually made comments about your opinions which might be construed as negative, and shotgunshell's is very mild indeed.
While you have been misinterpreted as I said above, starting banging the "everyone is against me!" drumb will not help the situation at all, indeed it strikes me more as the response of a sulky teenager than an intelligent adult.
If someone has made insulting remarks, there is the report link, but also bare in mind not everyone who disagrees with you is out to get you.
This is a discussion! forum after all.
Noww, might I suggest we get back to the actual comparisons, since as Shotgunshell said in the first post this topic was never intended to create friction, and the fact that such friction has occurred is actually quite ridiculous!
With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
