Unquote get fu*ked Bruce, you would project your dishonesty to include me don't presume to hang your marketing spiel sh*t on me you are in good company with your whoring accusations, ********, all your type listen dung head, if I post a number it can be replicated by anyone with the interest stop whining and how about you doing some testing ? - instead of making unsubstantiated allegations against those who do test ? do you have an instance of bias that you can cite ? then wtf are you saying ? that I lie ? hey Bruce -. get fu*ked Bill Adams Last edited by BillA; 10-08-2005 at 09:16 AM.

I am having a hard time following your post. Are you telling Bruce to get ****ed or is someone else?

Wow. that woke me up!
I would have to say that if Bruce's intentions werent to say you are untrustworthy in your reviews/apprasials, then he just used very bad wording in what he said. But hell, Bill you are one of the most tried and true testers in the scene, I find it hard to think that you would mislead people for some hidden agenda.

BTW, got a link to this "other forum" I would be interested to see the context that this was all said in. Out of context stuff can seem much different than it is.

It seems to me that RVwinkle said this part ,"certain grumpy engineer who's maintained a highly respectable status in the PC water cooling" ?
And then Bruce added this to winkle's preceeding out of context quote: BTW how objective is that "certain grumpy engineer who's maintained a highly respectable status in the PC water cooling" ? And then: "Is he involved in design / manufacturing of competing radiators ? well if that's the case, he can't be really objective now can he?" Seems pretty clear to me that Bruce was calling out Bill's integrity. That's unfortunate. Bill has never done anything but demonstrate competence and integrity and, well, a little willingness to jump down a few throats. Bruce has not, to my knowledge, provided this community with equal value save a bunch of over priced products of rather underwhelming design for all the massive R&D he purports to have invested in them. Until he has perhaps he should tread with a little more care, or at least show the simple common decency of not being irresponsible in his comments about the character of another person. Common respect for others is what I am suggesting unless I wasn't clear.

post # 39 http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...1&postcount=39
my take is that Bruce is 'bootstrapping', cutting everyone down to (his) size by cutting at the level of the boot tops he has recently graduated from a vendor to a product "designer" - though it seems he merely copied bits of this and that - and is attempting to invalidate technical appraisal based on the source (before it has occurred it would seem) Bruce is a money chaser and can think only in that reference, no real biggie to other than me jd psychobabble; Bruce is dishonest (makes up or shades data) and assumes all others are also, and applied that reasoning to me - focus directly on what not objective means to a professional generating and presenting data flip it around, if Bruce were honest would he be so inclined to assert that I am not ? if Bruce had his own test results would he still need to denigrate others' work ? another soul brother for Bruce, ****** is a vendor of the same ilk based on Bruce's statement I accept that he makes no pretense of objectivity, he speaks to advance his cause when he applies such to me I will object and ask him to substantiate his assertion of non-objectivity he is being asked now Last edited by BillA; 10-08-2005 at 09:18 AM.

is it the outcome of your freaking reliable test results? GO F***K YOURSELF BILL! I used to have lot of respect for you, and now none at all!!! and don't you dare calling me dishonest old fella!!!! I have nothing to do whatsoever with the folks that you mentioned, so i don't have a fu*king clue what you're talking about... Let' see: From another forum: Quote:

So after HWlabs finally started offering the single-pass BI radis to the mass market, all of a sudden you started making "vague references" to these rads, giving people the impression that the performance of this line would be underwhelming? What is the reason for this 180 degree change I wonder? Is it because you designed competing BS radiators for a Chinese manufacturer? Quote:

You can not even give a freaking straight answer to simple Qs anymore like you used to eh Bill? aren't you the one that used to comment about preventing the Chinese from taking over the US market? aren't you the one that found Chinese radis low tech? Quote:
Did you post any test data to support your claims regarding the X-Flow radis, or making vague references is just enough ? Apparently I'm not the one who does word play in order to bad mouth competing products... Erick gave me a big surpsrise when he released cheap Black Ice Xtreme rev.1 knock offs... and you started working with him now... so how unbiased are you against competing products now ? what's your next project? a cheap Storm knock off made in China? don't flatter yourself with this engineer with integrity BS... call me a box pusher if you will, i don't give a f**k... I'm not an engineer, and never claimed otherwise... there are tons of engineers with integrity over @ the Pro/forums, which I have tons of respect for, and you're not one of them anymore... you ruined your good reputation yourself, and don't try your stupid tricks on me... so go f***k yourself you grumpy old engineer who used to be highly respectable...

at least I gave credit where its due... what did you engineer so far eh? You don't think you're Stew -who is an engineer with lots of integrity BTW- now, are you? Quote:
I wonder what you were doing all day @ your old job... posting crap over the forums, badmouthing others products, lurking over @ E-bay looking for test equipment to purchase with the company's money? Bill what particular outstanding achievement/contribution have you made over at your old job? I wonder what took your old employer so long to realize that something wasn't really happening there... so you practically used the previous company's research money and time only to directly benefit a competitor? I wonder what's up with the non-compete agreement, which should prevent you from going to a competing company for at least 2 yrs... What's the story here? and yet you're calling me a money chaser eh old fella? Quote:
Quote:
i'm sure people will find out about your real face soon when you end up as a bulldog in the forums for your new company... and you know what do not expect me to jump with you at your low level old fella... There's no need for me to waste my time on you...

The thing to note here Joe is how they both come out the box swinging F-Bombs at one another. None of that gradual buildup to a flame war stuff that you commonly see in forums. This is not some run of the mill scuffle between nancy-boys; we're watching true internet badasses duke it out here!
I'm gonna grab some of the Canadian tripple on the way home and also load up on snacks. I will also board up the windows because I'm pretty sure the Kool-Aid man is gonna be bustin in the house yelling "OHHHHH YEAAAAH" before too long.

...so umm...howabout them new ram waterblocks? What'll those wacky Germans come up with next?
p.s. Sorry to all parties involved, I kinda feel like I started this mess with my silly comments. I was just trying to detract the fanboys who were drooling over the latest toy. I meant no harm and both of you guys are part of the solid foundation of my favorite hobby. |

Bruce let be straight here...Black Ice Radiators are made in the Philippines not in the USA. Second mass production most any type of radiator, for any industry comes from sources outside the USA. It's a labor intensive process which means production goes were labor cost is low. Thus all US based manufacturers in the auto industry and beyond manufacture in plants outside the US or subcontract outside the US. BTW how is block manufacturing in Turkey working for you? Finally let’s address the issue of bias. Bill is the CTO because I need wisdom, experience, integrity and accurate data which can be independently verified. If you ever need to question the accuracy of Bill's data then you can run the same test using the same equipment under the same conditions. In short Bill's testing is scientific.

may have played out already Joe, Bruce and I have stated what we think - and why
no big deal, and nothing new as it is exactly the same issue as JoeMac (sp ?) raised I just get huffy at flack from unfounded aspersions motivated by commercial interest I'm transparent, someone else does it and I'll probably bite the same bait the same way hi ho |
