We see things the way we want to see things I suppose. You did say a lot of less than stellar things toward me in Sickbeasts other thread. I think I have a right to say a few things about it.

So it is *personal* .. just like Rollo, you cannot drop it, huh? Yes, we have both said nice and harsh things about each other for as long as we have known each other - for many years. What is different now?

You admitted you get a lot of hate mail. So much so that you said you turned off your PMs and have to use temporary email accounts to get projects done in your video forum. And yet you have to come here - to my home, just to insult me.

Why not move on? i will have no trouble forgetting you and Rollo in a little time if you never come back; it will fade into a distant memory.

Yes, that's right. My PM's are blocked and only my contacts can get through. Mark, you wouldn't believe some of the messages. Jaw dropping. Very sick. But creating an email account was something I would have done anyway. You know, for someone who cares so little about ATF and doesn't pay much attention to it, you sure do know a lot about what goes on over there. Yes, we have said harsh things. Let's make all this the very last time this happens. Ok?

Here's the thing; if a forum member PMs you with sick rude messages it a direct violation of ToS and they should be banned out of hand. Pass them on to the administraton; your friends should not be punnished for the hateful few. i never blocked PMs when i moderated Video and i got some hateful crap also; and at that time individual members were allowed to PM moderators - i got over 1,000 PM over the few months that we moderated video together.

As to not paying attention to ATF. i *rarely* post there. i check my PMs once a week and the last time before yesterday was helpful as i had information about NVIDIA's issues with TSMC's vias and leaky process - and especially the 7.2 billion vias that GF100 has that no one there knew about.

When SickBeast posted this thread, i had to look and respond to what was posted here - or i would be really out of touch. i also did research on your site last night and you have to be logged in to do an advanced search.

Let me go one more time over this:

1. ABT is very friendly to NVIDIA. We like AMD also. We have invested many hundreds of hours and i personally have invested thousands of dollars to go their events, buy their products and write about their company vision and their products. We have done this in as fair a manner as is possible while remaining objective and credible.

2. Our only issue is the interference that we have had from ONE certain individual; that's it! Our response was one of "self defense" ... if that certain individual will leave us alone *completely*, then we have no further issues with his sponsor.

As to you, personally. i don't have any issue. No bad feelings. i get hurt and get over it and I forget it. Unless it happens over-and-over and then it becomes an issue with me. i know your feelings got hurt and i am sorry for my part in it.

Again, this has nothing to do with Nvidia. Yeah, so I'm in the focus group. My whole life doesn't revolve around that. I came here, to express "myself" and "my" concerns. I'm not here to make any amends or burn bridges between you and Nvidia. That IS between you and Nvidia. Not between you, then me, then Nvidia. Not a conduit in my visit here. You have contact info for Nvidia so you can speak with them directly if you need to.
On a personal note, I also apologize if I was too harsh in my words. But understand I would have never shown up here had there not been these two threads, one of which is designed to totally rip me apart, and the other, not as bad but still about me.
Maybe Sickbeast is to blame here. He likes the uproar/scandal/conspiracies/whispers/gossip. He in fact just posted a troll thread at AT just to see how fast it would get locked. So, I am sorry, maybe my anger was somewhat misplaced. After all, this took place on your site. It was allowed to happen and go on for pages.
Til next time. (I hope there isn't a next time).
Keys

Thank-you. i hope there is a better next time under positive circumstances.

i am also trying to create an "area" just for these kinds of threads; so that they do not disrupt our forum with endless callouts. We are also evolving into a better forum and site.

LOL

YOU are the source of your own problems, Keysplayr, along with your dark master overlord Rollo.

YOU are a viral marketer who has infiltrated the AT forums.

YOU have turned the AT video forum into the new NVIDIA forums.

OTHER PEOPLE have created numerous threads in PFI about you.

Just because I chime in now and then it doesn't make this all my fault. Grow up.

Can we tone it down please.

Keys is not Rollo.

He did not infiltrate ATF and he is beyond loyal to them

He was offered the position of Focus Group because he is himself. He loves their products.

Just because you can call someone out does not mean that you should do so.

Every one of us has faults. The way ATF is set up allows for perception of a conflict of interest.

It is a damn difficult job to moderate their video forum. i bet that you could not stand to do it for more than a week - given their rules and restrictions.

Shall we put each member under a magnifying glass and call them names?
- what right does anyone have to make it *personal* ?

Sounds like fun

Not really, someone could get burned.
