This is what you always say when someone calls out the FUD you spread. When you're woefully unequipped with actual, correct knowledge on the discussion your participating in, be prepared to get **** on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The discussion was far beyond civil. and you while he may have posted false information to some degree, you where being rude and acting like an a-hole. as a mod, and especially a global mod, you should set a good example for discussions and the forum. I wouldn't say that behavior is suitable for a representative of the site. Just now, xendrome said: So I should ignore false info and just let you post stuff like which isn't true.

Perhaps mods are tired of the nonsense? And dealing with the constant derails a particular individual constantly creates?

You are probably thinking of Egghead Software, which is not related to Newegg at all. 2 minutes ago, xendrome said: So I should ignore false info and just let you post stuff like which isn't true. That seems fair. Instead of that aggressive post above with insults between the lines. you could have acted grown up and said for example Quote Actually, I believe you are mistaking them for Egghead software, NewEgg was inf act started as an online computer parts retailer and never had a physical store or mall presence before that". It corrects him, and it's polite and not aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted September 25, 2016 MVC Share Posted September 25, 2016 "you where being rude and acting like an a-hole" Dude where??

As a mod, you you can be tired of the nonsense, but you can't act like you're tired of it outside of the staff forums. it's like calling customer support for a company, you bet they're tired of the nonsense, they can't act like that though.

Glad someone other than regular members is taking a stern treatment (while remaining civil) for this particular individual, who constantly spews crap.
