I believe that since the "No Vendor Verdict Policy" has come into play, there have only been threats as such posts get moderated as normal practise now, and so the reason to sue gets removed. It doesn't matter that OCAU wins every time, it's more just a time-wasting exercise, much like how large companies bully smaller companies into submission by filing for frivilous lawsuits to drain their coffers due to legal expenses. Doesn't matter that the small person is perfectly in the right and once the matter finally goes to court it's a near instant open/shut case. |

Also I find OCAU's stance as chicken shit if what you say above is how it is there. If your not going to allow negative input about a commercial product then you have no business reviewing them either eh? Sounds pretty low on objectivity? |

Also, as you know, just because it isn't cheaply made dosn't meen it performs well. I imagine they do alright though if they are based of current design. Last edited by jaydee; 08-23-2005 at 10:31 PM. |

Agg told me that he didn't know enough about the radiator issue to simply remove the posts. I can't remove them without be subjected to bleats of bias. So the thread was simply locked (by Agg). |

As I said, I can understand the reasoning also... being MainAdmin at O-CuK holds the same issues for me as being mod at OCAU does for Cathar, so his stance I perfectly understand...
It's a weary world being a global mod on a large forum. O-CuK got the reputation of being a Nazi Regime here in the Uk due to our strict rules (that 80% of all forums in the UK run with, we just get singlehanded out due to the fact we actually enforce them), but those rules are there to protect both myself as the forum owner and my users at the end of the day. Constantly having to laydown the law and take the verbal backlash by PM in silence takes it's toll on you and decisions have to be made for the sake of keeping the piece despite the controversial topic... We're fortunate in the UK that folks don't try to sue over forum antics... or that no-one has so far... |

What I am bothered by is what their definition of defamatory is? If they don't allow negative input torwards vendors then how could they post an objective review of a product if that review has negatives in it? :shrug: Anyway I will drop it, I really have nothing much to argue about. |

Hes got some kind of dilusion that i am cathars minion, and that i have something to gain by siding with him.
Its quite hilarious, he refuses to post numbers, talks out his arse, and generally makes a complete fool of himself. He fails to realise that I simply dont like shit talkers, it has nothing to do with siding with anyone.

Like Cathar needs a "minion". His work is actually validated and speaks for itself.

"Only delusion I have Etacovda is that these forums are becoming a good grounding place for the likes of you"
• noun a belief or impression that is not in accordance with a generally accepted reality. You realise that that means that you think that this _isnt_ becoming a good grounding place for the likes of me? perhaps you should learn english before trying to use it in an argument... next time put quotations around delusion so it seems sarcastic; actually, even then it still wouldnt make sense, so perhaps re-think it. Take a long hard look at yourself JSE, you dodge easy questions... why? Procooling has long been thought of as 'the home of the bastards, cynics and assholes', but thats generally by people such as yourself, that are not conclusive. Obviously this does mean something to you, for you to come here and argue it. For what? come on JSE, none of your customers read here, you can stop bullshitting.

Be careful guys. Paranoia abounds here.
Anyone who subscribes to the philosophy that when manufacturer or reseller makes claims that they then should be backed up with adequate proof, JSE then believes that such people are all delusional minions of myself. I must say that I feel somewhat privileged to be held in such a position of supposed rulership over those who believe that people who disclose performance figures should be forthright about how such was achieved. Shit, I must be at least 1000 years old because this is a fundamental tenet of scientific practise. Better check the ol' noggin for scars that may indicate amnesia has taken place 'cos I certaintly don't remember founding any ancient universities, teaching Isaac Newton, or Archimedes. Yep. Says a lot doesn't it? |

I am sure the manufacturer of these rads don't have the figures concerned.

IMHO, Bill's testing is good enough that IMHO there would never be a possibility of the suit succeeding, but it costs money and attention - and even more money and attention if you want to counter-sue for costs (and even then you don't get anything back for the lost attention). So he has to be coy. Being usually quite blunt and outspoken, this has gotta be a hard thing... |
