Samsung Cuts Into Vizio Lead in U.S.

[Worf101]

Frahengo.. okay. I've been round here a bit longer than you and know Sir TT pretty well. While his comments about Joe this and that might have struck you as insulting or patronizing I believe they were done "off hand". I've discussed many things with Sir TT over the years and learned much from him I've never found him to be evil or arrogant. I personally give most posters the benefit of the doubt because the internet doesn't allow for tonal variation or nuance like speech does. If I personnaly thought Sir TT was chittin' on poor folks I'd call him out too, but honestly don't think he was.

I just hate to see folks cuttin' on one another is all. There, I've said my piece.

Well said and I concur...

Worf/Bob,

Your comments are noted. While what you say may be true, I feel that its for this very reason, that one should be careful of what is said or typed. Furthermore, I think that we can all agree that discussions regarding race, religion, class, or any other similarly categorical qualities should be left out of an open forum. It rarely ever leads to anything good and you never know who is reading.

Those aforementioned "labels", I took to be an attack on class. I find it very difficult to tolerate and had to comment and will continue to comment (at least until someone removes me).

At this point, its probably best if we just moved on.

You know, you should not be so quick to draw your gun. It is obvious that you misunderstood this so called "label", as no others seem to take it like you do. I already said that I didn't mean it as a slight, but you continue to take it that way. You took it as an attack(only God knows why), and I meant it as a buyer distinction, not anything based on class. Some very wealthy people shop at both Costco and Walmart, so this attack on class you mention is your lack of understanding that in fact ALL classes shop at these places. They may not buy electronics there, but they do shop there. Perhaps this "class" filter is effecting how you interpret things, making every comment negative. You might want to check that filter, because I am not going to change how I write, or what I write to accomodate a personal filter.

Vizio televisions are for those who value a bargain over those who value performance, much like the Joewalmarts and Joecostco's.

This statement simply has a negative undertone to it. I can't spin it in a positive way no matter what.

Everyone should use the filter that exists between the brain and their fingers whenever typing

Maintain whatever quality writing as you deem appropriate and I'll comment as I see fit.

Sorry then, but this is your problem, not mine. I guess that filter is too strong for you to overcome

Everyone should use the filter that exists between the brain and their fingers whenever typing

Everyone should also understand that not everyone's filter is the same, or even defeatable in some as you demostrate.

Maintain whatever quality writing as you deem appropriate and I'll comment as I see fit.

This would not be a change in policy for me anyway.

Did you read this before you posted it? You clearly say that "Everyone should use the filter that exists between the brain and their fingers whenever typing" and then say, " I'll comment as I see fit."

Do you not see the contradiction here?
