Why do we keep on helping deprived/tombman

[franksch3]

At the helpdesk I worked at we also had the same kind of person who would **** up his own computer so he could irritate people at the helpdesk. In the end Acer Computers told us to immediately put down the phone if it was him. Secondly, they sued him, and he lost.

Why do we keep on helping tombman if he continuously calls people names and keeps bitching about his few fps he gets less in Quake 3 Test. For gods sake, it is only a TEST. I don't even like the game as much as I like Quake 2.

well as I see it, the forums were started for the benefit of any user of matrox products...unfortunately we are barraged with V2/V3000 vs. G400 threads, Tylau/whatever multiple postings and general insulting behavior. These are actions we all would like to see stop so that genuine problems could be dealt with (sooner the better for the victims of technical issues :-) so we have 2 choices: 1) stop helping/ignore those postings which we know/suspect to be just wasting time for those who wish to help, 2) or allow those disruptive individuals to continue to slander/irritate the members of this forum and thereby allow them the satisfaction of knowing they are ignorant and irritating....(I like option 1 myself) IMO if they are ignored they will be forced to aggravate others(in other forums and allow the doings/help/fun here to continue as they have since the start... nuff said

I guess because we are a group of good people who do see that there is a problem and we want to help. But it is very hard to when he is not will to admit that there might be a problem in his setup and not the G400 card. I posted my benchmarks to show him that IMO there is a problem. I know my system is not the same as his and as such he should be getting better performance than me. If he can't see and understand that then that is not my problem. All we can do now is just to leave him alone because we have tried to help.

well said Joel,

I've been following the thread without reacting in it. Just because I don't think he wants the problems to be solved, I think he wants a general pardon from either us, users who try to help others, or from Matrox itself, at which he's on the wrong forum.

Bitching about a videocard, well, haven't we all bitched at our videocard/PC/software some time in the past? I think we all did, but that was before we had the internet and good driver-updates.

I have problems with the PD5.13 drivers, especially in Windows, when I boot my PC for the first time every morning. It'll take a reboot and sometimes another reboot to get it working okay (when a window opens, then closes it leaves a big black rectangle on screen, very annoying). I haven't said it's my videocard, I know it's the drivers.

And all those people who say that their TNT2 and other cards get more fps from certain games/benchmarks... ah well, guys, if you feel like that other card does it better, why not stick with that card and leave us to trying to figure out what's wrong with our drivers??

I'm not going to be mad again at these people, I'm just reading their rant and ignore them. Free opinion of speech, right??

Jorden.
