"you aren't the victim, you're the sucker" is not name calling. If it was, calling you the victim would also be name calling, but I have a feeling you wouldn't have a problem with that. You got suckered by nVidia, i.e. you're the sucker. It's not name calling, it's reality.
And don't look now, but you responded. Like I said, you're an impulsive person, whats worse, you don't seem to have any sort of control over your impulses. You knew $1000 was a ripoff, you couldn't resist to buy it. You ignore a forum member, but you can't help but respond to an ignored post. You respond by telling me you aren't going to respond. Get a grip of yourself.
Just stop with that ad hominem BS and I'm not the victim so I wouldn't like that either.
I'm not an impulsive person it's not like I spent 250k$ on a Car or something like that, it's just 1K, it's essentially nothing and I didn't address what BS you wrote in your post, that others are free to criticize me and make an off-topic, I got an infraction for Thread Crapping by 1 post that wasn't about the topic. People are jealous creatures, today I just found a big scratch on my brand new car. Someone didn't like that I have a new and expensive car and he doesn't so he decided to make a scratch and people on this forum behave very similarly to this "person". It's like someone makes a thread about something and all he sees is a bunch of ad hominem attacks, even though the topic wasn't about that specific person. I'm done discussing with you it's pointless. I wanted others to share their opinion on the subject, not an analysis of my purchase and my personality(sic) This forum got terrible.
I think the show is pretty much over. Lepton are you satisfied with your thread's progress at this point? If you have gotten your answers maybe you should ask a mod to retire it. maybe start a new one with the original question phrased differently or something?

No I'm not satisfied by how people behave on this forum and there's no moderation. Few people actually stuck to the topic, most of the people here actually behaved a lot like that someone who scratched my car.
The thing is that many people have already made perfectly reasoned responses, it's just that Lepton refuses to acknowledge any of these points. He blames Nvidia for his personal buying decision. If he isn't prepared to listen to the reasoned arguments it is inevitable that this 'debate' will only go rapidly downhill.
I don't blame them as was apparent from my opening post! They did what they could to maximize profits and that's fine, all I said is that they lost a lot of reputation in my eyes by doing that and that's it.
ps. If anything this thread is a great example that I'm not an impulsive person, no one ever called me that outside this topic. I was polite to all the people who made ad hominem posts instead of sticking to the topic, I was called a noob because my Titan doesn't overclock well and I still remained polite. The idea that buying a graphics card on an impulse makes you an impulsive person is ridiculous. Attacking other people because they offended you makes you an impulsive person or buying a house for 500k$ or a car for 250k$. For the record I don't lament over that 350$ I spend more on one wheel for my car but it doesn't mean that I should be happy by how NV handled this generation. I said that 1250$ is a lot of money in my country, people got the wrong idea that's also a lot of money for me, it's not.
