In Reply to: certainly wasn't worth your invectives, but since you hurled them, the least you could do is say why, exactly posted by Jazz Inmate on August 24, 2007 at 12:22:47:
Which invectives were those? That I think you've created a bogus conspiracy theory? That I think you don't understand how/where/why MS and Sony are competitors? That I think you have emotionally invested yourself in a format? I don't see those as invectives. I see those as the reasons why you are mounting a flawed and unsupportable argument, and why you are attacking me by attempting to paint me as some sort of Microsoft supporter. This is the problem with format cheerleaders - if someone questions a format cheerleader's beliefs in any way, the cheerleader automatically assumes that the questioner is a cheerleader for the "other team."
Jazz, I didn't go down the path of conspiracy theory - you did. If you stuck to arguing based on technical merits, or provable facts and events, I never would have said a thing. When you started ranting about suspicions of skullduggery, you left yourself open to question. If you want to call that "invectives," have at it. I'll just point out again that it was you who put forth an unsupported conspiracy theory, and I'll say as my final word that arguing the finer points of your construct is not worth my time.
Best regards,
