I have strong views. Sorry you don’t agree with me. You’re clearly unaware that despite my being negative or moaning a fair bit (which I’m not gonna deny), maybe you’ve yet to meet the SERIOUSLY vile, nasty and disturbed regulars I see here, and whom have a truly cold and vindictive manner of response. I’m not one of those, but nonetheless, if you disagree with my approach WALK ON BY. You’re not held against your will, tied to a chair at gunpoint.

The problem with rants is that the author isn’t usually seeking a resolution. So any subsequent discussion just annoys them because there isn’t an outcome as such. But it also annoys everyone else because even well reasoned arguments just fall on the deaf ears of “LA LA LA LET ME HATE THIS!”, with no real progress or learning.

As for others here: there are indeed a number of quite nasty people on here who hide behind the “we’re rational engineers” nonsense. But that doesn’t make your rants any less annoying.

P.S. I’m not a LTT fan (as in I don’t care either way), and so I initially dismissed the LTT screwdriver as just rebranded standard fare. But after watching the making-of video and the other review video above, I changed my mind. It’s a specialized tool optimized for PC repair, with lots of thought and care gone into the optimizations.

Gosh this place is full of self-righteous busybodies. Go about your business and forget “correcting” people, lest someone come along and do the same to you one fine day.

I don't mind rants as long as there is some foundation beneath it.

What I hate is not owning up to being corrected when it is justified. Calling someone else a hypocrite and not willing to see that you are being just as hypocritical bugs me. Another thing is flaunting with other peoples feathers, like can be seen in his other thread started today about how good the British power plug is, as if he invented it.

Is a bit like people watching football, rooting for their team, and when their team win saying WE won the match.

But as seen before you can't argue with ignorant people.

Yyyeah, all those things exist just fine without a sky fairy to explain them.
