So Vista doesn't work, so I chuck in a Win7 DVD, and run it. I chose upgrade.
It says, go to this link and download SP1 first. I go to that link, and IE tells me I need to upgrade IE.
I really f***ing hate Windows and MSFT. All they produce is sh*t.

Let me explain it in terms you can understand. What that means is that you are trying to use outdated technology.

That is the second time today you have launched a personal attack because you don't agree with what I am saying. Do it again and I will report you for abuse.

But like that rash, he keeps coming back.
I have taken the route of NEVER answering anything of his, no mater how much he insults or provokes. Anything over the lien gets reported and that is it.

Me too from now on.
How often has he been here insulting people before?

His original handle was Fat Boy. When that got nuked, GW in the Lounge, he came back with Fat Eric. After abusing members that account was nuked too. There was another account of the Fat/Eric/Boy line that surprisingly was nuked.
Erudite Eric started off being normal but slowly slipped back into his old tricks and has now been zapped.
Watch this space for Erudite Boy.

I remember Fat Boy. Yes he was offensive.

I may be wrong, but you somehow called for it by answering with "Let me explain it in terms you understand"...
I don't think Eric is that bad that you all seem to think. He's been trolling for sure about GW, but in the soapbox mainly, and even if sometimes still tainted with reminiscence of the past, the rest of his Lounge posts are not really abusive or controversial. At least, not worse than some of M.Dalek, if we have to take an example. Maybe you guys just could let go...

Fair enough. I could have worded it differently, but he had already called me stupid in a previous post so I wasn't trying to be polite. Perhaps I should have been.
Rage wrote: I don't think Eric is that bad that you all seem to think.
I didn't give it much thought until I told him to stop the personal attacks and he went ahead and sent another one on a different thread. That is when I started reporting him for abuse.
Rage wrote: Maybe you guys just could let go
He'll be back and if he is not abusive I will not be overly critical.

Lets get a few things straight:
1) You completely misunderstood what I wrote about Linux. I said it was more fun to work on, I didn't not call it 'sh*t hot' and nor am I an 'evangelist' which is what you said I am. That's why I called you stupid, because you jumped to the usual conclusion idiots make when discussing Linux and windows.
2) You then come at me with a load of patronising crap when clearly you have no idea just how little the kernel has changed since vista.
3) You then get all pissy when I point it out to you.
4) You then get my account deleted (about which I couldnt give a sh*t).
All of which is so obvious other people point it out to you. Rule no 1. If you cat take it, don't dish it out. And deleting someones account because they upset you just makes you look a wimp.

You sound evangelistic.

Very mature of you.

Do you have a point?

I don't call people stupid, idiot, etc. You were the one getting pissy.
Erudite__Eric wrote: 4) You then get my account deleted
As I explained to you I reported the posts where you were abusive to me because you wouldn't stop after I asked for you to not get personal. Your account was still active after my votes.
Become abusive again and I will report again.
Erudite__Eric wrote: All of which is so obvious other people point it out to you. Rule no 1. If you cat take it, don't dish it out.
I don't resort to calling people stupid because I don't agree with them. If that is dishing it out you are still back in the school yard confronting your demons.
Erudite__Eric wrote: And deleting someones account because they upset you just makes you look a wimp.
Calling me a wimp is very mature.
