All I did was make sure DD's claims were accurate.
What the hell? You verified the fact without testing! That's impossible!

i merely mentioned i was told flow rate is better for my type of system.
I guess that's correct, you never said it explicitly and I did do some reading in there. However, you should understand your system fairly well, better than just some guy for sure.

he(whether he likes it or not) is a representative of the company in all facets.
And my brother is a representative of McDonald's. So? My dad is a representative of the government. So? Cathar's a representative of Australia. So?

I believe, to the contrary, that Bill is giving Swiftech a very good name. Before Bill, their products were mediocre. Now they're top of the line.

and i take great offense to being called a liar. i do not lie in reviews and never will. mistakes have been made, and perhaps misinformation has been spread due to lack of research on a topic, but it is never intentional. also, i am the editor, so i doubt my position is in jeopardy.
We're saying you're lying, and you are, although you do not seem to know it. I'd suggest that you get off your high horse, head over to the library, and read a big long book on flow and pressure. You might be able to find the necessary information on the Internet, but the Internet is filled with lies and glaring inaccuracies.

we do the reviews for the good of the community and would be buyers of the products.
This is the problem. ALL reviewers feel that they are helping although the vast majority of them are hurting watercooling and the readers.

Yes, that is the procooling way. This is the fastest way to get people to learn of their own mistakes. We aren't trying to hurt you, just to make you not hurt others (or maybe we are trying? I don't know. I pick apart the review and usually not the reviewer [excepting Liquid3D, of course]) We do the same thing to every single review that comes our way. If I see something wrong (it's an impellor, not a propellor) I will state what I see wrong with it, as will most others.

I look back to when I started and was verbally caned. I fought and was offended like you were. It was jagged pill to swallow when I finally accepted what a fool I was being by fighting the accepting of my own ignorance, and I look back to those posts of 1 year ago with utter embarrassment, but that just serves as an example of how far one can come if you can get over one's pride.
